It is definitely less dangerous, unfortunately, only to your body, not to your mind,
Here is a little experiment that comes to my mind if we are comparing these popular drugs, if Pavlov used dogs I would use a young marijuana evangelist, a young alcoholic and a young tobacco lover, they all are the same age and same physical and psychical condition:
Now let's let one of them:
1) smoke cigarettes every day (two packs a day)
And the other two get high from (meaning no moderation, serious abuse)
2) drinking booze daily for a year
3) smoking pot daily for a year
What you are most likely about to get is that:
1) tobacco smoker will damage his health, smoking will affect his overall physical endurance and make him more liable to different health problems, yet he will be totally capable of fulfilling everything in his social role
2) the alcohol abuser will probably damage his health, develops serious addiction, he will still be more or less capable of a social contact
3) the pot smoker will turn into a very healthy individual with serious addiction on THC, and mental skills of an adult baboon
So it's very tough to put these drugs in comparsion and there are many factors in game, the overall widespread, accessibility, the addictiveness, the tolerance of society / culture etc.
