Agreed that alcohol and tobacco are way worse, how they are legal and marijuana isn't is laughable. It probably has a lot to do with race as you mentioned. I will say that marijuana is not nearly as researched as alcohol and tobacco so while I tend to agree that it is mostly harmless if used in moderation, we simply don't have the data from long running studies to back that up.
