ABC News reports:
A Florida man died Tuesday after taking more than two dozen shots of cherry vodka within a half hour, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s office.
This seems like a bad way to die. Given that I rarely drink alcohol, it is not likely that I’ll go this way. But please, lord, if I do die this way, do not let my last drink be a cherry vodka.
Meanwhile, thousands of marijuana users smoked themselves to death this year by consuming the dangerous drug no marijuana user has ever smoked himself to death.

Yes, but you are overlooking the obvious difference between marijuana and alcohol. Nearly anyone with half a brain can grow a decent crop of marijuana in their yard, shed, basement, spare bathroom, or living room. Most people don’t have the means and/or patience to produce their own alcohol, making it a great way for large corporations to make money.
I mean, Sidney Frank sold Grey Goose to Bacardi for $2.2 billion, proving that alcohol is a giant money maker. Bacardi certainly doesn’t want the competition from privately grown marijuana, and the government doesn’t want to lose the tax revenue.
