Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana?

The main reason you would not smoke undried Cannabis is because it is hard to ignite. It certainly can be done though. Generally I would suggest using a vaporizer for fresh Cannabis though. The other reason is that the drying process causes the further oxidation of the trichome heads which increases the ratio of CBN to THC leading to a more balanced effect.

fermenting sugars is not a chemical process, but a biological process

If you're going to be pedantic, at least be accurate. It certainly is a chemical process. That process is facilitated by biological organisms, and would therefore more aptly be called a biochemical process I suppose. Anyways, as riveting as this exchange has been, I think I've made my points effectively. Hopefully I have been able to shed some light on some layman's Cannabis science for you. If you have any further questions feel free to ask. Always happy to help educate 👍

You know what, you're right, it is time to end this discussion. Have a nice weekend and don't smoke too much weed, or drink too much alcohol.

Ironically I do neither anymore, but thank you. You as well!
