From Marijuana Policy Project:

Dear B:

How much do you know about the relative harms of alcohol and marijuana?

MPP's new Potentially Deadly Alcohol and Marijuana Quiz will let you test how much you know about the relative harms of these two substances. If you get a question wrong, the quiz will have you "take a shot" of alcohol. At the end, the quiz calculates your blood alcohol content based on the number of shots you had to take. Ace the quiz and you will be "stone cold sober." But if you flounder, you could wind up dead.

Of course, we don’t recommend really taking shots while you play. We’re serious, though, about the need to educate people on this subject. So after you take the quiz, please spread the word. When you’re done, the quiz makes it easy for you to send an e-mail to friends or post a message on Facebook or Twitter. (The Twitter post will actually be personalized with your quiz result!)

If you can help us get hundreds of thousands of people to take the quiz, we can chip away at the image of marijuana as a "dangerous" drug – an image that has hindered the cause of reform for decades.

You can take the quiz here. Good luck!

Sincerely,

Rob Kampia
Executive Director
Marijuana Policy Project
Washington, D.C.

P.S. If you want to read more about the marijuana is safer than alcohol message, MPP is offering the new book, Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink?, co-authored by MPP director of state campaigns Steve Fox, as a membership gift for anyone making a contribution of $40 or more to support our efforts to reform marijuana laws.

P.P.S. As I've mentioned in previous alerts, a major philanthropist has committed to match the first $2.35 million that MPP can raise from the rest of the planet in 2009. This means that your donation today will be doubled.
