How can Obama say that pot is not as bad as booz?

Beer doesn't make me long turm stupid,but when I was smoking pot in jr. high I stopped because I saw how stupid people were getting and someone asked me if I was troubled because I was being stupid.Plus O bama is the head honcho of the feds and pot is still illegal every place.

Update:

Published sunday in the new Yorker in an interview with David Remnick.

Update 2:

I can drink beer and not get stoned but if I take a hit of weed I get stoned.The next day I normal with beer but don't feel normal if I smoke pot.

Update 3:

Society is my friends in high school.What do you people think society is?If you smoke so much pot that you can't understand the question and the details then you make my point.

Update 4:

Pot is illegal in Colorado and every place else.The feds can come in anytime and take all your product and money and seize all your assets and put you in jail with a very hefty bail.Come on pot heads.

Update 5:

How many thousands of people die every year from pot smuggling?At least if a drunk driver hits you,you have a chance.

    I don't believe that's precisely what he said.....and pot is legal in Colorado now, or did you just wake up from some coma?

    because it isn't. pot is not physically addictive. no one has died from smoking weed. people die from alcohol overdoses all the time. alcohol is physically addictive. no one ever got a hangover from doing weed. if you drink you get hangovers. alcohol makes you just as stupid if not more so. alcohol kills more brain cells than weed and weed won't destroy your kidney's and liver like alcohol will. you get stoned from smoking weed, you get drunk from drinking. what about all the innocent people that were killed during prohibition. the feds aren't going to do anything in Washington and Colorado or they would have already. a drunk driver is more likely to hit you than a stoned driver. your drinking underage, so that doesn't exactly put you in the genius category. Obama just said today alcohol is more harmful than weed, which anyone with half a brain and doing a little research about the two would already know.

    Well Wayne Obama had said that he had smoked pot when he was young and it did not do anything to him. So he think that pot is ok,but he does want his girls to use pot its bad for them. So that sort does not make any scent at all. Maybe the pot he smoked back then is now working on his mind.

    Obama never said pot was safer then booze because he can not stop lying and it's the truth. Let me get this straight you quit weed because it made you sound stupid but you drink beer when beer decreases IQ also.

    1. Please provide a source.

    2. I've heard of more drunk driving accidents than accidents involving marijuana. I don't smoke pot, nor do I desire to, but if anything, I've heard people say how ridiculous it is that alcohol has much more dangerous outcomes from intake (ex: fights, murders, car crashes especially) than weed and yet marijuana is still illegal.

    Everyone can see how beer made you a champion at such elementary skills as spelling and reasoning.

    Beer most definitely makes you stupid. But as a cop, I never arrested potheads for fighting. I never arrested potheads for driving dangerously. I did arrest one because he fell asleep at a red light.

    I guess you haven't talked to any cops or doctors lately.

    Obama was talking about the relative impact on SOCIETY, not on your friends in high school.

    I think we will see more lives ruined and lost because of pot now that states are legalizing it.

    If he did say such a thing, perhaps he had in mind a certain pothead who attained high office.
