THC (tetrahydrocannabinol sp?) is used for it's anti-vomiting properties while using anticancer drugs.
Alcohol is a drug and I dare to claim it's far more dangerous as marijuana.
Check death-records of people who died of a mere alcohol intoxication and compare it with people who died from an overdose of THC.
I'm not even getting started about the longtermdamage of alcohol or car accidents caused by alcohol.
It's not because you have an easier access to alcohol, that it's less dangerous.
And now a small list I've take for the convenience from wikipedia. Not the most reliable source, but digging through scientific articles would take to long.
