As far as I know, if you smoke pot, you are going to get high. Period. People dont go hang out and smoke a joint just for the taste or to be social. They do it to get high.
Dont get me wrong, I am not saying one is better than the other. The fact is, in the US, one is illegal and one is not. One is socially acceptable, and one is not.
I personally am pro-alcohol and anti-drugs. I guess this means I am a total idiot (as stated above), but that is how I feel. When pot becomes legal, I wont have a problem with it.

But using that argument, one can say that as long as they can function properly, it's fine.
I function perfectly well if I have things to do while under the influence. I can shop, have conversation with friends, be a dumbass at the mall; be "social", as you put it. I think I'm a "responsible pothead" -- i.e., I get my shit done even while being high because I know I have to get it done. In fact, I only seem to pass my math exams when high
Like I said, as long as you're responsible about it, it shouldn't be a big deal.
