Alcohol and weed can be as bad as each other, but what allows them to be bad, is the weakness in humans which allows themself to be consumed by the 'drug' and to push limits to excess.
This debate shouldnt be about which one is chemicaly worse or more chemicaly dangerous than the other, but how people have made these 'drugs' dangerous.
Alchohol and weed, both contain natural elements found or grown naturaly in the environment.... hemp and hops. They were not geneticaly produced to create the byproduct, they grew as natural plants.
Then along came human intervention, be it Monks, hundreds of years ago, who first discovered the process to make alcohol and its intoxicating effects, and the people who discovered, that burning processed hemp plant leaves would produce intoxicating fumes given off, when the oils in the leaves were heated. It was all about discovery, and how things could be modified and produced, to highten pleasure.
It wasnt until the past few years, that these 'drugs' have been taken more seriously by the medical profession. Studies and Lab results have shown that both alcohol and weed contain elements that are beneficial to health. But these benefits, just like the benefits you can receive from all the other health food stuffs, will only be any good, if they are taken in a controlled way.
We lack this control in life, and decide to use alcohol and weed or both to feed our own desires for pleasure, and more often than not, this craving for pleasure leads excessive use.... the weakness in ourselves produces the 'danger' in these substances, and not the natural substances in the 'drugs' being dangerous.
