I didn't say that one was less harmful than the other; I only said that they both are similarly dangerous.

I don't mind tobacco being banned either. Nonetheless please tell me how tobacco causes memory loss, distorted perception, trouble with thinking and problem solving, loss of motor skills, decrease in muscle strength, and anxiety.

It may not, but alcohol does and it is legal. The point is that abolition didn't work in the past, and pot being illegal has only served to send people to jail who should have been in treatment facilities. And, since being incarcerated often destroys a life, bans on pot have probably caused more crime than it has prevented.
