Irrespective of my opinion regarding the legalization of marijuana (I haven't fully decided yet), I always have one problem with the direct comparison of weed and alcohol...
I know many who use alcohol abuse it. But I also know that many who drink it casually really do enjoy a beer, a glass of wine, or a mixed drink for the flavor or to sip in a social setting. They do not get high and they never have any intention of getting high.
The same cannot be said for marijuana. Definitely clouds (no pun intended) the comparison for me.
