Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to educate the public about the harmful consequences associated with alcohol, as compared with the much safer--yet illegal--substance: marijuana.

2) the penalties for the private use and possession of marijuana should be no greater than those for the private use and possession of alcohol.
