Yep. I don't think weed will turn out to be harmless, but it’s clearly less harmful than alcohol. From everything I've seen, we’d be far better off as a society moving from liquor to weed.
As someone who came of age drinking with my friends and who avoided weed for law and job reasons, it’s hard for me to wrap my emotional thinking around the concept. It’s still deep in my brain that weed is a bad thing people should avoid. And yet, intellectually I know I'd be better off pouring the liquor in the pantry down the drain and switching to marijuana.
Yea it's weird. Even when alcohol is one of the most dangerous substances for some criteria and I'm aware of it I still perceive having a few beers while doing something more acceptable than smoking a joint. The cultural indoctorination is hard.
