If as many people took crack as took alcohol the relative impact would be astronomical.
Drinking alcohol is a societal norm meaning everyone does it. This means that like driving cars, voting Republican or eating sugar it has a big effect on society. Cars kill more people than crack or alcohol every year. Is the thrill of driving a "harder" drug than crack?
Widespread use DOESN'T make it a "harder" drug than crack or heroin. It just makes it a more popular one. It's still less addictive. It's still less physically damaging and it's still less likely to ruin YOUR life.
Yes, it is a drug. Obviously. That's not news to anyone over the age of 13. We all had this conversation in school when teachers tried to tell us pot was going to rot our brains and leave us all giving handjobs for the next hit.
