Marijuana has been used by humans for just as long, if not longer:
Cannabis was attested to around 12 000 years ago near the Altai Mountains in Central Asia, and since then, cannabis seeds have accompanied the migration of nomadic peoples. Records of the medicinal use of cannabis appear before the Common Era in China, Egypt, and Greece (Herodotus), and later in the Roman empire (Pliny the Elder, Dioscorides, Galen). In the 19th century, orientalists like Silvestre de Sacy, and Western physicians coming into contact with Muslim and Indian cultures, like O’Shaughnessy and Moreau de Tours, introduced the medicinal use of cannabis into Europe.
Sigh. Age is not the same as extensive use. We’ve been brewing copious amounts of alcohol for an extremely long time. With dare I say near 100% of the population drinking. Ciao.

“I want a goddam strong statement… one that just tears the ass out of” cannabis supporters.
They tried banning alcohol. There was enough popular pushback they had no choice but to un-ban it.
There was less popular demand for marijuana. It seems like it’s moving in the same direction, just more slowly.
What schedule do you think alcohol would be if it was illegal? 2?
Alcohol has been part of society for a very long time, it gets exemptions.

Not to the same extent or in the same way.
That’s just not true, especially for non-european cultures. As the study I linked shows.

Evidence to support your claim? Kinda bold to be so arrogant and dismissive of the other person’s point when you failed to provide a countering study.
Arrivederci.
It helps when you misapply the effects of heroin as the effects of THC. Reefer Madness is a trip.
