Actually, the difference in harm between pot and crack is mainly in its
street price. It's easier to get rid of a crack habit than to stop smoking
pot. The pot high also lasts for hours at a time as it is an oil soluable
drug. Much more subtly damaging. Anyone who labels pot as a "relatively
innocuous" drug is kidding themselves and probably not smoked any recently.
The newer strains are 20X more potent than when you were a teenager in the
50's Ken.
