You guys seam to be overlooking that actual damaging effects that cannabis / weed has on the body, particularly the lungs and nervous system.
As I said in my other post, about the beneficial effects from both alcohol and weed in small quantities, but these are completly outwayed by the negative and damaging effects when taken everyday or on a regular basis. These Uk medical study results, which I've been searching for on-line, have shown that .....(dont quote me on this)...... smoking a single joint does as much harm to the lungs as smoking 3 or 4 cigarettes in sucession... now tell me that aint damaging.
You'll also find that excessive use, which can be smoking just several joints a day, does have long term effects, not only on respiratory, but circulation, and mental health problems.
Alcohol will cause most of the above sysmptoms, except lung disease. However, it will take a lot longer and far greater abuse to the body before the physical damage is apparant, i.e. liver sclerosis takes many many years to have effects since the liver and other organs that deal with processing alcohol are far stonger than the Lungs. Lung Disease is one of the biggest killers world wide.... far greater than traffic accidents caused by intoxication through weed or alcohol use.
I drink in moderation now, far less than I used to, since going thorugh some rough patches. I also smoked weed pretty much every day a long time ago, and from experience I can tell you the weed affected me mental far greater than alcohol..... take into account though, all people are affected differently, but inevitably face the concequences of abuse.
