marijuana is dangerous on many fronts, that it impairs memory, alters time perception, reduces coordination, damages the immune system, is psychologically habit-forming and creates a wide range of effects on moods and behavior.

Ohh what a load of crap.

MJ is - by orders of magnitude - much less dangerous then alcohol. Use any metric you like... damage to health, loss of productivity, crime and antisocial behavior, addiction rates etc. etc.

You have to add a barf alert to that kind of post.

Only those that abuse alcohol are trouble.
For the most part, alcohol is a food purifier mentioned even in the Bible directly with food. It is also a known blood thinner.

If used in moderation or less it isn't an issue, whereas pot goes directly to the brain faster than an injection.
Don't believe me?
Go look up what is considered a faster passage to the brain, the lungs or the injection. You will be surprised.

The stomach with alcohol is a much slower way in, you can have food with it and it hits a whole different area of the brain.

They are NOT similar. Though you are right that people who abuse it, like any recreational drug users should suffer the consequences.
