theres no proof any car accident was caused by someone being impaired by marijuana , probably because marijuana doesn't effect your motor skills the same way alcohol does. Undoubtedly there has been a few marijuana related car accidents, but not even comparable to alcohol.

its not the nicotine in cigs that cause cancer , its the additives, as far as marijuana , read the stats, you are comparing apples to oranges.
Basically what you said was , people die from smoking therefor they must also die from marijuana even though there is no evidence to suggest this.
People die from drinking alcohol , doesnt mean drinking milk has the same risks.

religion , politics and many other things cause "ruined lives" , none on a comparable level to alcohol, certainly not weed.
You can do too much of anything and it will likely be bad for you, the overall point is marijuana isn't high on the list of things that will ruin your life by trying it
