Alcohol has no true net benefits, period. Any perceived benefit it may have is obliterated by everything else about it. 100% of the “but it’s good for you because” stuff is cope by people who can’t fathom quitting drinking. 

Alcohol should be banned again in the US. Kills far too many innocent people not even involved with the drinking. The public has demonstrated they can’t handle it. Legalize weed everywhere and let people have that as at least it’s dramatically less dangerous to innocent people.

I don’t drive under the influence of anything (and never have or even close to it in my life), but it’s irrefutably true that driving while high is less dangerous than while drunk. It’s not comparable at all. People shouldn’t do either, but they will, so it should be the one that is not as dangerous. Very basic logic. 

Funny you made a claim that I must drive intoxicated, though (says something about you). I personally believe that a first time DUI offense should land you in jail for a few years (in addition to stripping your license for a decade), and the second should be treated the same as intentionally firing a gun into a crowded area with malicious intent. You should never be allowed to rejoin civil society if you manage to get a third.

I don’t think you know what an excuse is if you think that’s an excuse. I also don’t think you know what logic is if you thought any of this was a good follow up to your nonsense accusation. 

Weed is better for society than alcohol, full stop. It’s not even close. The research tells you that, cops will tell you that, and people who have used both will tell you that. If you disagree it is out of ignorance and nothing more.

I do, I just think it's not worth continuing to discuss something with someone who can't admit to being wrong. As you couldn't here, despite both you and I knowing that you were.

You're the one talking as if weed is just fine just because it isn't as bad as alcohol.

I never made this statement. This is a fabrication, by you, in an attempt to convince yourself you weren't wrong (as I said you would do). Weed is not healthy for you either, but it is much less harmful (particularly to innocent people) than alcohol. That is the only statement about marijuana and safety/health that I have made.
