After our discussion today about logos, ethos, and pathos it seems like this article lacks pretty much everything in my opinion. There is no logic to choose weed over alcohol, whoever made this billboard has no credibility, and they may appeal to me emotionally but it's certainly not how they attended. Seems like propaganda!
Number of deaths related to alcohol overdose per year: 25,000 (http://www.drugwarfacts.org/cms/Causes_of_Death#sthash.Oi3egL8P.dpbs)
Number of deaths related to marijuana overdose per year: 0 (http://brown.edu/Student_Services/Health_Services/Health_Education/alcohol,_tobacco,_&_other_drugs/marijuana.php)
It is physically impossible to overdose on marijuana. You would have to smoke 1500 pounds of it all at the same time. (http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/library/mj_overdose.htm)

I love this!! Not only is the Marijuana Policy Project challenging governmental laws but athletic policies as well. Love the public display and broadness of this controversy!! I find it extremely entertaining.

So yeah, I'd say marijuana is safer than alcohol.
