Yes, I do and it was also proved on a recent report that showed 'dangerous' drugs. Both alcohol and smoking are considered more dangerous than marijuana. Unfortunately the Government will not legalise marijuana and ban smoking and alcohol as they get too much money from the taxes on both these items!
The british government should take a leaf out of the Netherlands book and legalise marijuana - there are even medicinal benefits to it and, unlike alcohol, there are far fewer side effects such as aggression and hangovers.

I think alcohol is more readily available than marijuana, alcohol comes in different strengths and is probably a lot more addictive and dangerous too, I have never done marijuana and drink very little, I am hopeless with one glass of wine and know that if I got in a car to drive I would more than likely kill or maim someone, I guess in their own ways they are both very addictive but I still think alcohol has a worse effect on you than marijuana does.

Yes, if you're talking about driving under the influence. The long term affects of marijuana can cause loss of ambition, bad attitude, laziness and can ruin a person's life. Not only that, but it's illegal. The health hazards of both drugs should be considered, but in moderation, alcohol is not dangerous. Marijuana is dangerous if you get caught with it, but it also can cause severe lung problems.

YEPPERS! I sure do! It's true, the only reason marijuanna is illegal is because #1- they didn't know how to classify it and decide to label it a narcotic, which was a tremendous mistake and as a result #2- government can't control taxes on it. Personally I believe marijuanna should be legalized but held with the same laws as alcohol. No driving while under the influence, must be 21 or older to use, etc. While I am a big advocate for it, I also believe it should be taken very seriously because many times it DOES become a gateway drug.

Hell yes! (Pardon my French)
The worst thing of all is that alcohol is a HARD DRUG and little kids sometimes actually are able to buy it.
Marijuana I guess is actually rated as a soft drug and in my opinion not as bad as alcohol.
I've been using both of them for a while and I can tell you;
The alcohol will get you up for just a little while and then it will **** you up, by making you aggressive for example and you can get a very bad hangover of it.
While with the grass, you'll get a buzz which sometimes also doesn't take too long, but (atleast in my case) it'll get you relaxed and lateron sleepy, so you haven't got the energy to get aggressive and fight or break stuff.
Alcohol much more dangerous..

They both can be dangerous.... Alcohol is not dangerous if it isn't consumed in huge quantities... God's first miracle was making water into wine.
And can't people just drop this already! Marijuana is illegal for a reason. If you have a problem with that, spare the rest of us the frustration of hearing complaints, and move to a country where it's legal!

Yes I agree with that alcohol cause many more problems. It amazes me how the governments keep harping on about the mental side affects when alcohol cause twice as many. Cannabis is safer than alcohol I would rather be dependant on that than alcohol.
Because of the side affects of alcohol the government should be looking at reclassing that instead.
The BBC had a news story last week stating that every 6 hours in Scotland someone dies which is alcohol related

Marijuana and alcohol are equally dangerous, both for different reasons.

Yes, for the reason alone that alcohol use is far more widespread than marijuana use.
Alcohol is cheap and easy to get if you are of age... so it is everywhere, often times it can be had in unlimited amounts at college parties. People drink it up.
Marijuana alters your mindset and can convince you to do crazy things.... but so can alcohol.
