Are you genuinely suggesting that cannabis is more harmful than alcohol

Not to mention, do people use biological weapons recreationally? That's news to me

Nah, I started out putting things in order from most legally allowed to most harshly punished/seen although it looks like I did organize the opioids more via badness.

I definitely think cannabis is less harmful than alcohol.

If consumed in the same quantity, it might be.

Botox is a neurotoxin originally derived from a bacterium. And various pesticides are regulated. Nicotine actually is a naturally occurring pesticide, though these days BigAg companies produce far more potent "Neonicotinoids" for killing insects.

Please explain the mechanism by which cannabis causes DNA damage when consumed in the same quantity as alcohol. When you match recreational dose, it doesn't. There is a slight possibility of free radicals in smoke causing DNA damage but that is incredibly minor compared to alcohol and can be avoided with different methods of consumption. You can't avoid the DNA damage of alcohol at any dose or method of consumption

The word I was responding to was "harmful", with no further specification. I stand by what I wrote, and don't feel the need to try to explain a point I wasn't making.
