Weed = Bad
Alcohol = Much, much worse.
Let me paraphrase a quote of PZoHs:
You're never "old enough." Marijuana can't kill anyone regardless of age. It does nothing but harm except when used for medical purposes--why should something like that be legal?
You're never "old enough." Alcohol/Cigarettes can kill anyone regardless of age. It does nothing but harm except when used for medical purposes (Note that Cigarettes have no medical purposes and Alcohol has few)--why should something like that be legal?
Marijuana is actually among the safest drugs out there. Many of the so called facts, like that it causes brain damage, are merely fabrications, exaggerations or hoaxes that have been spread over the years. And I've never even heard of this bit about impotence
A comparison of Marijuana and Alcohol would look like this:
Marijuana is a mild hallucinogen
Alcohol is a depressant
Marijuana causes few physical side effects
Alcohol causes liver damage, and, in general, serious pain with heavy usage
Marijuana is not physically addicting
Alcohol is
Marijuana is barely psychologically addicting
Alcohol is strongly psychologically addicting
Marijuana makes you kinda lazy and clumsy and such
Alcohol makes you surly, slow and dumb
