/^t/Secondly, why is marijuana prohibited if another soft drug-alcohol is legal? What is more, it is widely popular. Thousands of people are addicted to alcohol. But there are more who drink it from time to time and do not fall into that dreadful habit. Why is that so? Because alcohol itself is not harmful, but overusing it can be dangerous. It is exactly the same as far as marijuana is concerned. Everything that is being overused is harmful, even milk or yoghurt. I agree that taking marijuana may end in addiction to it. But even then, the addiction is less dangerous than that of alcohol. Nobody who takes marijuana becomes aggressive and does harm to himself or to other people. Have you heard of any murders done by people under the influence of marijuana? I have not. Whereas, most of alcohol's consumers cause violence in the society, bringing devastation and evil.
