Booze is a lot worse than pot, and there's no denying it. I'll reiterate: You can drink yourself to the point that you can't lift your head off the table in a couple of hours. You can drink yourself to death in a single night.
Compare that to pot; you can't overdose on weed. You can only get so high, even if you smoke a whole bale. These are the facts, you won't counter them because you can't.
I won't argue that booze is worse than pot in some respects, and never claimed that booze is more "virtous". My point is that it makes no sense to say "hey, this bad thing is legal, so this bad thing should be legal, too".
