I do agree. Pot is no more dangerous, or (in my opinion) intoxicating than alcohol. However the major barrier to legalization is pot's perception as a "gateway drug".When you consider that once you get one drug illegally it is much easier to obtain others, pot is to a point a gateway drug in our society. So the question is really: "Will legalizing pot eliminate its role as a path towards other, harder more dangerous drugs?" If so then by all means it should be legal. But T think that question deserves to be addressed first.
