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* The Death and Resurrection

I've seen more people hold a decent job and drink in moderation than I have people with weed. Thinking of the Army, those guys pissed up 3 night s a week at least, but were still extremly professional. The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…
For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold…

I dont know, I agree with Belyvis. I know many people who live successful lives and smoke weed. Its all about moderation. Its easy to say you know more people who are successful and drink. Drinking is more common. I know many people who smoke weed regularly and are doing just fine. Plus marijuana has some medical benefits. And hangovers from alcohol suck, you dont get those with weed.

As with anything pleasurable there is a risk of addiction. Getting "pissed" 3 times a week is an alcoholic, professional yes but still as much an alcoholic as a Skid Row bum.

I know several successful pot smokers -- including business owners, legal counselors, journalists, and musicians...

TIME magazine wrote in a Dec. 5, 2005 article "The Year in Medicine": --- "It is a sad commentary on the state of modern medicine -- and US drug policy -- that we still need 'proof' of something that medicine has known for 5,000 years. [...] Marijuana is effective at relieving nausea and vomiting, spasticity, appetite loss, certain types of pain, and other debilitating symptoms. And it is extraordinarily safe -- safer than most medicines prescribed every day. If marijuana were a new discovery rather than a well-known substance carrying cultural and political baggage, it would be hailed as a wonder drug." Lester Grinspoon, MD, Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School --- "I believe that a federal policy that prohibits physicians from alleviating suffering by prescribing marijuana for seriously ill patients is misguided, heavy-handed, and inhumane. It is also hypocritical to forbid physicians to prescribe marijuana while permitting them to use morphine and meperidine to relieve extreme dyspnea and pain. With both these drugs the difference between the dose that relieves symptoms and the dose that hastens death is very narrow; by contrast, there is no risk of death from smoking marijuana. To demand evidence of therapeutic efficacy is equally hypocritical. The noxious sensations that patients experience are extremely difficult to quantify in controlled experiments. Jerome Kassirer, MD, Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine --- Cannabis was the first, second, and third most prescribed drug in the world up to its prohibition.
