Whether or not alcohol is more dangerous is irrelevant, and I haven't shared my view on alcohol yet. And, just because this more dangerous substance is legal doesn't make a less dangerous one to be more acceptable.

Also, alcohol is dangerous if it is "overuse". Which is like, two glasses? Depends on what people drink, in order to affect people's judgement and such.

It will probably make people take even more pots if it is legalized, just for the fact that it is "acceptable" in the eyes of the public. This is one thing to legalize and have it ran by government, or only for medical usage, and it's a totally different issue to have to legal, say everyone can get them from store.

One thing is, would it benefit the majority of the public if it is legalized? Or will it just create more problems (and brings in new rules, regulations etc.)?

Bring up the alcohol issue isn't a good thing, because we can see how substance abuse is damaging the community, and letting in another "substance" would probably make it worse.
