I think that it's definitely good that alcohol is legal. People need their release, plain and simple. I mean look at what a colossal failure Prohibition was. However, it is definitely just as, if not more, dangerous as marijuana.
That being said, while I think that mj is definitely no worse than alcohol, it can definitely be a very bad thing. I've seen first hand the terrible effects marijuana can have on you. Not everything is measured in physical terms. Marijuana can completely rob people of all ambition, motivation, and drive. And to me, that is just as tragic and debilitating.
However, some people can handle marijuana just fine, as some people can handle alcohol perfectly fine. Others can't. It's give and take with this problem. But society has absolutely GOT to have something. It just so happens to be alcohol right now.
On the other hand, crack, meth, heroin, etc, is absolutely unacceptable, IMHO.
