Except marijuana does not cause brain damage and alcohol does. Personally I do not like alcohol, but I wouldn't tell somebody they shouldn't drink alcohol and I wouldn't say alcohol should be illegal. It is useful for some things, but I don't think we should be drinking it.
Have you ever heard of the endocannabinoid system? Our bodies naturally produce cannabinoids, and THC is no different than anandamide which is naturally found in the body. The "high" is simply the result of your cb1 and cb2 receptors being activated.
Alcohol slows down brain functions and causes your brain to release dopamine. This causes the happy feeling you get and also the impairment that comes with it.
