Yeah, pretty much.
Based on science and medicine, Alcohol would be a more harmful drug. There has never been any reporting of deaths due to marijuana overdose. There have been numerous reports of Alcohol (ethanol) overdoses. Marijuana has never proven its self an addictive substance as where Alcohol addiction is the most common addiction treated. Finally, Marijuana tends to make people more docile as where Alcohol tends to make people agitated and belligerent.
It is a myth that alcohol is a gateway drug causing people to progress to marijuana, cocaine, etc.
they like it and they wont live it
Short answer: You can't. There is no evidence of marijuana causing harmful side effects in people except in the event that you fall and hurt yourself. No deaths have ever been linked to marijuana and there is no "lethal dose" as with alcohol. Short answer: You can't.

Cigarettes, Alcohol, Marijuana, OTC Pain killers.
A large number of people and groups have fought against drinking or selling alcohol.
People who do Marijuana aren't tempted to do crimes because they're on Marijuana. But I'm sure over 1,000,000 people over the globe have comited a crime under the influence of pot. But i know that over 15,000,000 people have comited a crime under the influence of alcohol
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!?! ALCOHOL!! Hardly any people die from weed related accidents!
hypocrites
IMO, Alcohol. Because I have never met a mean stoner. But I have met a lot of mean drunks. As far as effects on health alcohol is far worse for you than marijuana. Alcohol causes damage to the liver. Alcohol is also possible (and very easy) to overdose with. It's called alcohol poisoning and can cause respiratory depression which can lead to death. Hundreds of people die in the United states every year from alcohol poisoning. Not one person has ever died from smoking too much marijuana. And that's a fact. Even in chronic users that have been smoking for over 10 years, no detrimental health problems have occurred. Marijuana has never shown any negative health effects. Alcohol kills thousands of people each year. However, research shows very clearly that using even small amounts of marijuana, and even then only occasionally, can result in schizophrenia later in life. Marijuana may not be bad for the body, but it is worse for the brain.
absolutely not. as you can see in the link above, alcohol requires more dependence than marijuana. this means that if someone gets drunk off of alcohol, the next time they wish to get drunk they will have to consume more alcohol than the previous time. Also, alcohol is more addictive than marijuana. saying your addicted to marijuana is like saying your addicted to facebook (or something else that you really enjoy doing). as for alcohol, your body depends on alcohol. For marijuana, the addiction is all in your head. as far as overdosing, the theoretical amount of pot you have to consume is over a thousand hits (of course this cant be proven because no one has ever bothered to try it). with alcohol, it is very easy to suffer from alcohol poisoning if one gets drunk enough and is an alcoholic. for intoxication, alcohol leads to direct violence toward others, where marijuana simply makes people relaxed and more tolerant of their surroundings. alcohol can directly lead to serious physical injuries to ones body where marijuana is seldom seen as a direct cause.
Because people are stupid.
