It is incredible that the slightest increase in any cancer associated with alcohol is immediately trumpeted, but no matter how much research shows marijuana has dangers, the stoners always brush it off.

Just accept the risks and live your life. Nothing is without risk. Drink your beer and smoke your joint, why bother living if you aren’t going to enjoy yourself

There are people who minimize risks of both pot and alcohol but most of the adults I speak to that use marijuana understand the risks.
Plenty do those things out of desperation, disease, and despair. In some, that leads to generations of harm. To many, the risks aren't even part of the equation.
Alcohol is poison, really.

Cannabis is one of the least toxic substances available.

They have absolutely nothing in common.
