Nobody ever died from the proximate cause of using marijuana - but many have died from the proximate cause of using alcohol.

Correct and specific. Do you think we should not count marijuana-related/alcohol-related deaths when discussing the legalization question?

I think we should discuss either both or neither of marijuana-related and alcohol-related deaths - and that any legalization discussion should include not only the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana but also the pros and cons of (re)illegalizing alcohol.

We know how prohibition ended up. We also know that in other countries where quasi-legalization has been tried the usage rate stayed about the same.
