According to The collegiate drug hypocrisy, schools like Colorado University have zero tolerance for pot, but they turn a blind eye on binge drinking. While alcohol is arguably the primary substance that causes depression, suicides, and accidents resolving in death, schools continue to advocate "drink responsibly" as long as you're 21. There are over 600,000 cases of alcohol related injuries per year, but like so many other universities, since CU is entwined with the alcohol culture, they just simply ignore the problem. However, they are cracking down hard on 4/20 consumers. Pot, a substance proven to have FAR less injuries and no overdoses, is prohibited inside dorms, even for students with medical licenses.
This articles shows how hypocritical our society is, how young americans are becoming victims to countless injuries, and how the government is turning their backs on a REAL issue because of MONEY. A money driven society that doesn't care about its consumers, silently advocating "party hard" but with a substance far more dangerous. How can alcohol be legalized, and pot is not? When it all boils down to it, all they want is our money. If it's really about health and wellness, then ban BOTH substances. Close down the alcohol business. But of course, we don't to make history repeat itself, do we?
