Ahem, well, the fact that drunks DO go out and do things is exactly what makes them dangerous! Some become incredibly violent while drunk, and the majority of them don't think they're drunk when they are, and get behind the wheel of a car and cause horrible accidents! Personally, I'd take the bum sitting around laughing at cartoons (I happen to like cartoons even though I'm not a stoner) over the drunk who leaces the bar, gets into his car, and either causes an accident on the way home, or, when he gets home, beats his wife and children.
I do realize that there are some people out there who do know how to drink responsibly (I pride myself on being one of those people), but there are also pot users who know how to use pot wisely too, and will not use it in public places or around people who are bothered by it, and will use it only occasionally (as opposed to the perpetual stoners that you pointed out). As a matter of fact, I know a few people who do smoke, and who do so intelligently, and who can even carry on an intelligent conversation while smoking! Smoking pot may be bad for you, but LOTS of things are bad for you, including alchohol! That's why the key to all things is MODERATION! Do anything too often and it will be bad for you, but if used in moderation, it has a some benefits.
