I dont mind abusive alcoholics killing themselves with over drinking. Means less of them on the road to hit me.

I hate to be the one pointing it out (because frankly Alchohol's a pretty destructive drug across the US's culture) but most alchohol poisoning cases occur because the person has been SMOKING POT in addition to drinking. You see smoking pot has this funny little effect of suppressing the 'vomit reflex' -- great for cancer patients, not so great for kids downing too much alchohol.

As for pot heads being from one or another political party, it's probably just a myth. There are plenty of drug addicts (whether physically or psychologically) on either side of the aisle.
