"The "average drinker" might have a couple of beers on the weekend and doesn't end up with cirrohsis of the liver.

Care to speculate on what the "occasional" pot smoker has stored in his lungs and done to his brain ? (i.e. changes in the activity of nerve cells containing dopamine , etc) "

No need to speculate; the "occasional" pot smoker doesn't develop lung cancer (or any significant pulmonary disease). Now that I've settled that matter, I can't unfortunately, begin to speculate on the relative CNS effects of a six-pack versus a joint. Believe the "expert opinion" of your choice for that.

Sorry Doc, but I'll take a bottle of Mosel Auslese or a six pack of German beer over a joint every day of the week.

Maybe a six pack everyday might be a little much. That's the equivalent of a case of Coors Light or Budweiser. Since I've been hitting the gym 4-5 days a week, I think I could handle a liter a day without deleterious effects.
