That is complete bollox.
Alcohol is the worst brain fucker up around. There are few drugs as
destructive as alcohol.

You get even worse. No drug is good for you, but when it comes to pure
body and mind rotting poison, alcohol is massivly more damaging than
cannabis.
Cannabis might not be good for you, but here is just no comparison
with alcohol, the stuff is embalming fluid, a real brain cell killer.
But if you like to get high by drinking disinfectant, well, it's your
poison, but don't try to pretend it's less dangerous than cannabis.
