Alcohol is an addictive substance that degenerates your liver...bad for you ...duh
Cannabis Sativa is a plant used for many natural things... hemp rope & bags,lotion,food,tea etc.
If smoked; induces relaxed state(not aggressive,as with alcohol),sensations are increased along with mental activity.Appetite stimulant for cancer & AIDS patients. Pain reliever for glaucoma,epilepsy,migraines & bipolar disorder.
Cannabis has spiritual aspects also dating back to the early Muslims of the Sufi order,ancient Jews and early Christians.
So yeah, legalising it might be a benefit to our society. It can't be worse than alcohol

I will answer from the point of view of someone who has seen the effects of both for long periods of time.
1. Alcohol: My hubby is an alcoholic. He doesn't drink anymore, but when he did he was a nasty drunk, but didn't start that way of course. He was mean spirited, hateful, took chances by driving, landed in jail more than once because of it, and almost cost him our marriage. I am so glad he doesn't do that anymore.
2. Pot: He smokes weed and has forever. The only effect it seems to have on him is to lower his blood pressure and make him more calm. The weed lowers his blood pressure when his bp meds aren't working. It may be illegal, but, in my opinion, the weed should be legal and the alcohol illegal.

Both are pretty brutal. Alcohol is a drug as well. No pot should not be legal. Pot does awful things to people and should not be legalized at all.

No pot shouldn't be legal the goverment would tax the hell out of it, but by danger standards it should be. I drive fine when high but swirve everwhere when I'm drunk. As much as tobbaco and alcohol kills it's still legal because the big wigs use it all the time and they can tax it.

smoking pot is at least 5 times more dangerous than smoking, say, a regular cigarette. not to mention the fact that women who smoke cigarettes are more prone to lung cancer and other lung-related diseases. an estimated 20% of all women who smoke cigarettes develop lung cancer. what more if you smoked pot?
alcohol, when drank occasionaly and conservatively, can actually do you some good, since it has certain nutrients that are good for the body. however, alcohol can cause the enlargement of one's lower abdomen, especially in women. so what good are those measly nutrients as compared to a huge tummy? that's why we have supplements and vitamins of all sorts. stick to the vitamins, as opposed to getting few nutrients from beer.
women can't help it. we are more prone to diseases than men. men, however are more prone to accidents.

No, I think alcohol is safer because some people can control
it. Pot has you get high and you cannot control it.
I dont think it should be legal cause it gets people high and out of
control and they would do anything to get their hands on it

Both are dangerous and impair your ability to think clearly. No pot shouldn't be legal.

No, pot should not be legal. Have you ever seen a burn out after years of using? their brain looks like a wad of popped bubble gum. Would you want your or your child's brain to look like that? I didn't think so.

Marijuana is a lot safer than alcohol. Alcohol can kill you the first tim eyou use it, marijuana can't.
Yes it should be leaglized, but in the proper manner
God created weed,
Man created boose,
Who do you trust?
