CMV: Weed should be legally and socially treated in the same way as alcohol

I think that if you boil it down to what people receive from weed and alcohol, most of the feelings are similar. It can be used for social purposes, to relax, or abused as an antidepressant. 

For legal reasons, if adults 21\+  are developed enough and responsible enough to drink, then they are responsible enough to smoke. There would still be laws that apply to both alcohol and weed equally. i.e. driving under the influence. If you've had one hit from a joint than you are capable of driving, and if you don't seem capable in a field test, it will be obvious, same as alcohol.

In addition, this would allow people to not have to worry about not getting a job even if they live in a legal state. If employees are allowed to drink on their free time, people who smoke should be able to as well. If it's affecting their work, than they should be punished as someone who would go drunk to work.

Only thing that won't change my view is anything that is too circumstantial. As in something that is too specific of an example that is more of a "what if" than a certainty. Change my view :\)

Both alcohol and marijuana are among the most studied and tested substances in the world.  Time and time again it has become apparent that weed is far less dangerous when used on a regular basis than alcohol.  It is less likely to be habit forming, less dangerous when consumed  in binge fashion, and less likely to be dangerous when consumed regularly.

Treating weed as on the same level as alcohol down plays the very real dangers of alcohol and over exaggerated the less substantial dangers of marijuana.  It would be more appropriate to treat marijuana similar to tobacco from a legal perspective.   Specifically in letting anybody over the age of 18 purchase and consume the substance.
