technically yes but also a cop can cuff (not arrest) you and put you in a holding tank overnight or untill you sober up. even if your under the limit, as long as your 21 of course.
weed cures cancer, alcohol causes it. not as simple as that and research is in very very very early stages but im pretty sure we will all find a cure for cancer in marijuana.

Smoke an oz in like 2-3 hours and tell me you won't wake up the next morning blazed and have a headache. We do it every now and then. It's fun but shiiit
Lol I like how people argue what's better to be under the influence of. Some people don't like weed, some don't like alcohol.. oh well. I love beer, hate the feeling of being high.. literally hate. But I dgaf if people smoke, who cares. And you can't make a legit pros/cons list when you yourself are biased lol. You put "stupid as fuck" under a con of alcohol, lol I dont think thats a legit con broooo. And a couple other cons don't always apply. Smoke if you want, drink if you want, or stay sober. However people choose to have fun is cool with me.

yes it is. there hasnt been a single credible study that claims marijuana has a negative effect on health.. what so ever.
obviously smoking anything isnt the best thing in the world, but there isnt even conclusive evidence that marijuana effects the lungs in the long run in any way shape or form. and if you eat it, theres literally no risks.
Cannabis is shown to have a correlation with psychosis, depression, schiztophrenia, hyperactivity disorders. Cannabis can cause birth defects similar to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, decrease in sperm count, infertility, and has a correlation to testicular cancer. Some studies have shown that users of cannabis have almost twice to three times as high dropout rates, and most detainees in juvenile correctional facilities have used or do use marijuana.
It also is really expensive. And, in most places, illegal.

"Cannabis is shown to have a correlation with psychosis, depression, schiztophrenia, hyperactivity disorders. "
http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2009/09/01/2673334.htm
"Cannabis can cause birth defects similar to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome"
defects? no, slightly lower birth height and weight? possibly, although that isnt even conclusive. and comparing it to fetal alcohol syndrome is like comparing the common cold with leukemia.
"decrease in sperm count, infertility "
so do hot baths, soy based foods, greasy foods, many sodas, and a bunch of other things you ingest every day. unless you're a complete health nut (one that doesnt take hot baths and eat soy based foods), a lot of the things you do lower your sperm count.
" testicular cancer"
one good possibility for this correlation is that the study you are referring too was done in SEATTLE WASHINGTON, want to know what is legal for medicinal use there? you guessed it, marijuana! if this study was done somewhere were marijuana wasnt prescribed to cancer patients.. maybe we would have some conclusive evidence of a link between marijuana use and testicular cancer.
" Some studies have shown that users of cannabis have almost twice to three times as high dropout rates"
maybe because the kids CHOOSE to be a rebel and CHOOSE to drop out? you're going to blame the plant for this? its like blaming hitlers love of dogs for the holocaust. i for one, am a drop out, and a marijuana user, and marijuana did NOT lead me to drop out, and did NOT cause my grades to drop enough for me to want to drop out. in fact, my grades started dropping 3 years before i even started smoking marijuana, and the hopelessness of my situation caused me to drop out. marijuana had absolutely nothing to do with it.
"and most detainees in juvenile correctional facilities have used or do use marijuana."
maybe because the law PUTS THEM THERE. instead of properly educating the youth and making it harder for them to get by putting the marijuana market into the hands of people that ask for identification, america makes it out to be some crazy bad ass drug that you can get more easy than alcohol.
got anything else?

From 1997 to 2007, the number of admissions to treatment in which marijuana was the primary drug of abuse increased from 197,840 in 1997 to 287,933 in 2007. The marijuana admissions represented 12.3% of the total drug/alcohol admissions to treatment during 1997 and 15.8% of the treatment admissions in 2007. The average age of those admitted to treatment for marijuana during 2007 was 16-24
the problem with this statistic is that it does not tell you how many people actually realize they have a problem. in almost every case someone is caught with marijuana and they have a choice between jail, or rehab...which would you choose?
