What the hell are you talking about......Are you saying a bunch of druggies stoned out of the mind and driving in cars won't kill innocent people?????????
Get real........It happens now and drugs aren't even legal.........
So, might we assume that you are also for the prohibition of alcohol as well? Can we deduct that you do not drink alcohol as well?
We can already summize or make an educated guess that you probably have never smoked pot simply by your statement, "bunch of druggies stoned out of the mind" as anyone who has smoked pot knows that it's effect is mild in comparison to the effect of alcohol. The same idiot who drinks and drives is the same kinda idiot who would smoke pot and drive. Yet alcohol is legal.
If you would like to know what your talking about, without having to experiment yourself, just do a little research on the topic.
Marijuana vs. Alcohol. Google that.
"One major difference worth noting is that it isn't possible to overdose on marijuana, while lots of alcohol in a brief period of time can lead to alcohol poisoning, an emergency medical condition that can be fatal. <snip>"

Pot may be the lesser of the two evils, but it is an evil, healthwise, just the same. Nobody can rightfully claim that pot smoke, or
ANY smoke, is
good for the body. That is a very unbiased site. Start there.
Here's a legitimate study that might help you appear more educated on the matter.

Executive Summary
=================
1. A study was designed to examine the effects of marijuana and alcohol when
taken alone and in combination on human skills performance and mood.
5. The performance battery included tests of human skills related to those
considered necessary to drive a motor vehicle with safety.<snip>
11. By far the major effects on these tests were those produced by alcohol.
