Respond to a person's claim that alcohol is worse than weed and that weed is used to treat emotional problems.
You've "treated" it? What do you claim as your profession? Alcohol causes cancer, mental illness, liver damage, esophageal bleeding, stomach cancer, etc. Not to mention its role in domestic violence, impaired driving, street fights outside bars. Any doctor in the ER would see multiple cases a night with alcohol is a contributing factor and maybe one case a year with weed as a factor (usually caused by accidentally ingesting an edible).  The link between smoking weed and cancer has not been established, but legalizing it will cause more studies to be done. So we'll know soon enough. It's also USED TO TREAT EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS. Depression, OCD, PTSD. The list goes on. To say it's even half as bad as alcohol is downright dishonest. I call bullshit on you.
