I think that a more interesting question that affects a larger number of people is, "If I were to use cannabis the same way I have been using alcohol, would it be better for my health?"
I expect the answer to that question would be a resounding yes. If you have a couple of cocktails on the weekend, then instead having a single puff of high potency cannabis is far less likely to leave you dehydrated and hungover in the morning. If you drink yourself to sleep every night, smoking half a joint or a bit more every night is likely kill you much more slowly. (I'm not recommending this course of action, but it is "better" in an objectively measurable way.)
There's a fair bit of misinformation on both sides of this. On one hand proponents of cannabis often seem to assume that "less addictive" means "not addictive" when compared to alcohol. Medical and psychological professionals who have seen people with addictions tend to say that "there is no safe amount of either.", Which is both technically false and completely unhelpful in answering the question that was asked.
