absolutely, alcohol is not really good for much, it gets you loopy and makes you sick, some are addicted easily, whereas marijuana saves lives, doesn't take them, makes you feel better, not worse, and is not physically addictive.

OKAY! This is an interesting question. How about some history first... Alcohol WAS prohibited way back when, and they even passed a constitutional amendment banning the production and sale of it. Guess what happened then? Organized crime was created. People went to great lengths to have the forbidden. Then people realized that when you totally ban something, it intensifies desire for it. The ban was lifted and it was "properly" taxed. The solution is LEGALIZE IT. Just because it's legal doesnt mean everyone's going to rush right out and become a pothead. Just because alcohol is legal doesn't encourage people to become alcoholics. Their mis- or over-use of it is a personal choice. People make bad decisions all the time. High people are usually a lot more tolerable than drunk people. People don't get high and drive 100mph up the highway to go home and kill their wife. They relax, and laugh and eat. Also legalizing marijuana would lessen the amount of non-criminals in jails, but then the corporations that run the jails would lose money, and we can't have that. Also the hemp products produced would lessen deforestation, but then the lumber companies would lose money, and we can't have that. The governmental "war on drugs" is a total farce. They can't keep immigrants out, what makes you think they can keep drugs out? Its a personal choice to use "drugs" and that includes prescription products like valium, too. btw, the president smoked pot regularly in the 70's and was arrested for a dui once too. Also, btw, smartass suggests that you can't spill it... obviously he's never knocked the tray over :)

On a purely selfish level, no, because I can't inhale. I just cough up a storm. In general, it may be better for society. I am not for prohibition, however! Can't we just legalize the weed?

No. Because you can drink alcohol and not get drunk, but you can't smoke marijuana and not get high.

Marijuana has no calories and you won't belch, pee or get bloated. You won't spill it all over, either. PLUS you can still take medication with it , but you can't with alcohol.
