Drinking alcohol safer than smoking pot????

Am I the only person in the world who can't understand why drinking is legal and pot isn't???? When I was younger I did both. I've seen alcohol cause people to do sooooo many stupid things....drive fast and dangerously, get into fights, cheat on their spouses, buy rounds for the house until they are completely broke. The list goes on and on. Smoking pot you mostly laugh, eat, smile....and if you do drive, it's usually really slow....because you don't have a care in the world, you're happy, and not in a hurry for anything. Except maybe a chili dog! :)
