I think there are some misconceptions going on here.

1) excessive alcohol use or even miner use for the wrong reasons was always look at as wrong going way back to the times of Noach.
2) as far as I know there were only 2 takonos the rebbe made and that was for smoking and limiting drinking.

I think the biggest problem about marijuana is not so much the physical danger ( which it does have )
Rather the reason or spirit in which it is being smoked and what it does to the person.
Having been around Kiddush drinkers and people who smoke I would say that alcohol is not even close to as damaging spiritually and mentally in comparison to marijuana.

Are you sure you aren't smoking something funny?

Last week it was the hock in the coffee room what's the right approach, unfortunately many teens give it a try and get stuck with it, should we ignore since its obvious that its not the right thing to do or come out and speak up about reality

BTW in out shulls י'ש was banned permanently a few years ago

When will they come down on owners who seller beer and liquor? Especially those who are not strict about checking ID.

Marijuana is shown to have positive benefits for certain chronic conditions, especially as an alternative to prescription painkillers. I'm not aware of any medical benefits to alcohol.

He said he doesn't know anyone who's against using it for those purposes, not that he didn't know anyone using it for those purposes.

My first thought when I read about the legalization of marijuana was to wonder how long it would be before people start discussing whether it can be used for "ad d'lo yoda" on Purim.

Well Rashi says explicitly "with wine", although I've always wondered if in Lubavitch they use vodka instead.

It's a machlokes, there are plenty of rishonim who allow other forms of alcohol
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

There’s an inyan to use wine due to the role(s) it played in the Megilla story.

How would anyone observe a Lubavitcher? They are an extremely insular group

An obscure ultra-orthodox sect named for the village of their origin (sic), whose archaic shtetl-like traditions have followed them into the modern world.

I think the biggest problem about marijuana is not so much the physical danger ( which it does have )
Rather the reason or spirit in which it is being smoked and what it does to the person.
Having been around Kiddush drinkers and people who smoke I would say that alcohol is not even close to as damaging spiritually and mentally in comparison to marijuana.

Why quote the CDC when you can quote R' Moshe Feinstein?
