Cool, thread from the dead, hadn't read this one.
I think, as a drug, cannabis is much safer than alcohol. Unless you're a thug who also smokes weed all day, you're not gonna start a fight on weed. I can't say the same thing on alcohol, and while I love getting shitfaced with my friends every once in a while, some of them have become mean drunks a few times, and I've seen plenty of fights start when people got drunk. Hell, I did a lot of stupid shit that could have gotten me arrested while drunk.
But smoking up with a few pals, and playing video games, watching a movie, listening to a good album, or going out for a nice walk outside is great, and safe. I don't think people should be allowed drive on any mind altering substance, though, since pot does slow down your reaction time, but having been in a car trip where the driver was stoned most of the time, and driving perfectly safely, I would say it's less dangerous than driving drunk.
