I have smoked it on several occasions in the past, so I may sound like a hypocrite when I say that I don't like it. I do not use it anymore, however. So, I do know it's powerful stuff and I know it's completely mind altering. The thing with marijuana, I've never seen anyone advance their lives while addicted to marijuana. I'm not saying that nobody ever does, I'm just saying that I have never. They all turn out to be hippie bums begging for another hit. Also, every person I've ever known that has used marijuana on a daily basis has also tried a much stronger drug because they couldn't get high anymore. Cocaine is the more common upgrade from pot.
I would say the thing the difference between alcohol and pot would be that, alcohol can be used responsibly. While yes, you can completely kill a case of beer and get completely hammered, which is moronic, you can also have A single beer with a meal. I certainly know that a draft Samuel Adams Boston lager makes my NY strip taste 10x better. There are several craft beers that I know of that I and others drink one at a time, usually during or after a meal. I've even been known to have a glass of scotch or cognac before a meal. Try complementing your meal with a joint. Was it worth it? *yuck*
