according to the canadian legalization of cannabis councel (not the actual name, but govrnment group that is decideing what/how to legalize cannabis in canada)
the guy specifically says in his report that alcohol is much more dangerous than weed
also that the billions of dollars spent on the anti-weed compaign on tv, etc.. has done nothing, simply because it is ineffective and counterproductive.
also the various european country that have been using Harm reduction practices have not had to spend nearly that much money and have had positive outcomes. (harm reduction is pretty much sayin: if you are going to drugs anyway we want to make it safe for you to do it.)
EDIT:my thoughts--
if u are mad stoned u arent gonna be all angry and kill someone, rob a store, rape a girl at a party... u are gonna chill out and watch tv cause its cool or do anything that doesnt involve lots of work.
none of those commecials are helpful, there is a big difference between "stupid stoner" and "person that smokes pot"

NO ONE HAS EVER DIED BECAUSE OF A POT OVERDOES!
something to think about
: if pot was legalized, the prices would drop dramatically, it could be taxed (possibly), IT WOULD BE CLEAN POT, you'd probly have to be at least 16 to buy it, (so the younger kids would smoke it anyway, not a big deal in my eyes), and rich dudes would smoke expensive pot in there fancy leather chairs in their yacht clubs, etc...
if that last one doesn't seem funny to you, then you need to smoke some pot
