Why Is It That People Think That Marijuana Is Such a Harmful Drug, Yet Compared to Alcohol, It’s Nothing?

Question by [email protected]: Why is it that people think that marijuana is such a harmful drug, yet compared to alcohol, it’s nothing?
countless people die from alcohol, either alcohol poisoning or drunk driving, whatever, yet it is very rare to come across someone who died directly because they used marijuana(you can’t OD on marijuana). alcohol messes up your body over time, your liver, your brain, and all that stuff, and marijuana has not shown to cause cancer or really anything else besides some brain damage after very long periods of time (not as bad as from alcohol). alcohol can be addicting to some people, yet marijuana is not chemically addicting. but somehow, people think that marijuana is some evil substance that ruins lives and makes you wanna do heroin and kill yourself. how is it make sense, then, that alcohol is legal and marijuana is illegal?

I mean, of course they’re both dangerous, that’s why there’s an age limit to drinking. but when you compare them, looking at the stats between marijuana and alcohol, it’s pretty obvious that alchol kills a hell of a lot more people. it’s not even close.
woops. ignore that second section
I mean, of course they’re both dangerous, that’s why there’s an age limit to drinking. but when you compare them, looking at the stats between marijuana and alcohol, it’s pretty obvious that alchol kills a hell of a lot more people. it’s not even close. and you can’t really smoke in moderation, cus the whole point of smoking is to get high, so when you smoke, you smoke to get high. you can’t just take a puff and say you’re done, like just having a beer. it’s not a fair comparison. compare smoking every once in a while to people who go out and party to get drunk every once in a while. which is worse?
