Cr@p! I had not idea I would spark such a thread. Almost as good as my Jill Wagner one.
My opinions are as follows, and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Weed is a plant, growing naturally in the wild. The only thing needed to enjoy it's benefits is to let it dry. It can be smoked or injested. You can use the trichomes from the plant to make hash, or cannabutter which can be spread like land o lakes and used on bread and also used for baking.
Alcohol has to be manufactured in some form. Be it fermantation or otherwise. We all know all types of alcohol can be used in cooking.
The health affects from alcohol are MUCH greater than MJ. You can get liver disease, pancreas problem, brain problems, and even heart problems to name a few.
There are NO links of MJ causing cancer,

This was in no way meant to be a religious thing, so please stop post such nonsense of he said, she said. That is ruining the whole aspect of this discussion.
If I had a choice, I would smoke MJ instead of drinking. Ever wake up with a hangover after smoking blunts all night? Nope.
Ever wake up with a massive headache and rot gut after a night of drinking, yup, this Sunday after New Years Eve.
MJ should be legalized. It can be regulated and taxed just like alcohol and cigarettes (both my parents died of Lung Cancer and my mother-in-law is in the hospital as I type this with pulmonary (sp?) problem. All of them have smoked for over 50 years.
Plus Cigs are NASTY, they make your clothes, house, car, breath, and everything just NASTY. Ever clean a house that had a smoker living in it? How about when you go out to the bar and you smell your clothes the next day. NASTY.
Well, time to go home. Talk to you all later.
