...of either-or...if you know what I mean. I still think the value of cannabis in our society both medically and socially, is far beyond the capabilities of "alcohol". Even including all of the pharmaceutical products that are alcohol based, Cannabis has a much higher value to the society and especially in the area of Public Health.

We shouldn't allow ourselves to get drawn into arguments over the comparisons between "alcohol" and "pot". They're not in our league.
