The health question is different. There are health benefits to moderation in drinking red wine, but what benefits for general alcohol consumption in moderation?
While smoking marijuana is definitely not safe (ask any fireman about the dangers of deeply inhaling smoke and holding it in) despite having some well documented medicinal benefits in some cases, the laws prohibiting it, IMHO, cause more problems than its use for most people.

I have heard that since legalization that out of state applications to enroll in colleges in Colorado have increased substantially. If true I'm sure it is purely a coincidence

However, the Bible has no problem with alcohol use "to make the heart glad" i.e, for recreation and emotional health. I would argue that moderate pot smoking for some people does the same thing. There is an inherent need in humans for mood alteration. Some food does that as well.

I've never touched pot in my life but I've had many an interesting conversation with potheads. I can't say the same about my interactions with drunk people. (Three years of working overnight college dorm security will make you jaded fast.)"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

ITT people arguing which form of brain cell annihilation is better."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
