I think it's pretty insane the pot is illegal, given all the drugs that are legal, alcohol, etc.
It seems like half our nation is on some kind of hard core prescription narcotic.
Which is "worse" between pot and alcohol, IMO hard to say. They both have their pluses and minuses as far as social or recreational use drugs.
IMO, alcohol is certain a very imperfect social drug. It seems highly addicting to many. It seems hard on a lot of your organs. It takes a long time for your body to get rid of (hangover). It's effects as a feel good drug are somewhat unpredictable (good buzz v. bad buzz).
With pot, I'm not 100% certain that it is good for you, mentally of physically, if used regularly over a long term.
A lot of people argue that alcohol has caused more problems than pot. Well, of course. Pot is illegal and not sold in every store, bar and restaurant in the US, and is not a widely accepted activity. If it becomes legal and widely accepted some day, we'll find out.
Overall, for adults, I'd probably call it a draw between pot and booze as recreational/social drugs.
