Weed vs alcohol

This isn't really a story but i'd just like to know why everyone says weed is so bad. Hungry, happy, and sleepy really are the only side effecs. Like I was reading on here about other people and how they were "addicted" to weed and the way I see it is I smoke everyday but I get the bills paid that I gotta get paid, I do the thugs I know I need to get done and then I have fun. And alcohol makes you drunk and stupid and you are unaware of what's going on around you and I dunno. I just think alcohol is worse then weed. Well not worse but weed shudnt been bashed the way it is and alcohol shudnt be viewed as better or not as bad. Is it normal to feel this way or, any one else?

    Both are incredibly stupid! I seriously have no idea why anyone would ever smoke weed! It's gross, gives you wrinkles, bad breath and makes you high and look stupid! So if you want people to hate you then I guess you could do it but Ew. I can see drinking on special occasions but defiantly not every day!

    Alcohol is worse than weed. Yes that's normal. All potheads will agree. I smoked pot years ago and 'alcohol kills, pot doesn't', it's normal to think like you.

    I think that both are dangerous if not taken in moderation so as other things...you can't really compare both of them as people has more access to alcohol it would definitely have more cons, although Alot of people smoke weed it's nothing compared to alcoholics...but I'm pro weed so why not smoke pot.

    Weed is only a gateway drug for certain people in certain situations. For example:

    My friend smoked weed very often, but he got into a whole bunch of trouble with the police. Eventually, they put him on probation for THREE YEARS. Well, my friend still wanted ways to get high, but he couldn't smoke weed anymore because he was constantly getting drug tests. So, what did he do?

    He turned to hard drugs like acid and ecstasy because they cleared out of his system faster, and therefore would not come up in drug tests.

    Well, probation might have gotten him to stop smoking weed (barely, he still does it every so often) but it also gave him an excuse to move on to different drugs.

    Personally I only smoke weed and I'm a casual drinker, I've only been reallly tipsy. But it doesn't make sense to me how usually, the people who are bashing weed are the same people getting smashed from alcohol. Hmm, and they say we have a problem.

  • I love how some people think weed is a gateway drug! Alchohol may be legal, but I was taught, in the DARE program that alchohol is a drug.

    So yeah; some might say weed us a gateway drug. I think that in some cases, that's true, but not many.

    On the other hand, alchohol is the one that leads tomore, worse drugs. Period.

    Toke it up.

  • This is totally right, weed doesnt stop you from what you have to do as alcohol does.

    its normal but my questio is:can weed actually make sum1 dumer or not or the opposite?

    Either can be a problem in excess. Assuming you're using it responsibly do what feels good to you. Arguing which is better just adds to your stress - which is silly since we're all trying to relax.

    Marijuana is safer than alcohol, if you think your alone in realizing this or would like to understand the reasoning behind it, pick up a copy of the new book released called "If Marijuana is safer,why are we driving people to drink"

    Fact: Alcohol kills an average of 200,000 people per year

    Fact: Marijuana is incapable of producing an overdose, and there is not one record of someone ever dieing from marijuana alone.

    Its not a gateway, otherwise how do you explain all the people that use marijuana and refuse to use anything else, even alcohol, just as myself? The only reason the "gate way theory" is even out there is because prohibition forced people to buy marijuana from the same people that sold hard drugs, thats it. If you were to outlaw alcohol and force people to buy it from meth dealers, then alcohol would be considered a gateway drug. If were talking about the first drug ever tried by people, then I would look at caffeine and alcohol, not marijuana, the gate way thing holds no water at all.

    Weed is not good for you. I think like alcohol a small amount is not harmful. Heavy weed use causes brain damage. A psychiatrist friend told me that.

    I started smoking weed about 3 years ago, i kinda regret it, but i have no idea what the hell id do without it. I have never been much of a drinker, so i cant say which is worse. Ive deffo been drunk many times though, i prefer smoking weed.. Easier, quicker, nicer..

    I agree with ogrematt 100%.
    But let me just say, tiredness, munchies and bein happy arnt the only effects lol... Memory is a thing ive noticed. I can remember the things i want too, but if the teacher at college gives me instructions on how to do such a thing, ill understand it. As soon as he walks away, ill be like "what the fuck did he just tell me?" .. an as soon as i think of that, i mase well just wait till my next break, cause i know no work is gonna be done.

    I feel asthough weed is ruining my college. I have always been confident that im clever in generall life. As in i act well to things, i choose the right decisions ect ect.. But weed deffinetly does have an effect on you, but i dont know how much of it you need to smoke to realise it. I been smoking about 4 - 6 joints a day to my self for the past year.. And believe me when i say it, I notice the difference.

    But, i think if i had been drinking for as long as id be smoking, I probably wouldnt even be writing this..

    Weed can be good, but it also makes me depressed at times, an i start thinking bad thoughts. But, in a way thats a good, positive thing. Because bad thoughts warn you, and tell you to do something about the situation.

    Sorry if i chatted a load of shit..

    weed is a shit high. just makes you paranoid. and you really don't know where things will go or how you'll feel. the best is having a few beers and then 2-3 tokes.

    Oh god this is one of those topics that will get ppl goin. I always boil this argument down to this, has anyone ever heard of an abusive pothead father, who beats on his wife and verbally abuses the children? No, it's alcoholics, weed doesn't make you lose control, you never wake up from a long night of smoking and think "oh god, what did I do?" it's just not that kind of drug. It WILL however make some ppl, get fat (due to laziness and munchies = pizza delivery) it can cost ya if you smoke as much as some do. But other than that, IMO weed is a much more social, mellow drug, that can be enjoyed by most. No it's not "addictive" but you CAN develop a slight dependancy, sleep troubles, appetite , etc. But those shouldn't last long once you've stopped smoking for a week or so

    Both have their "bad" sides but I agree that alcohol is worse. A few years back I was a police officer and keptthe same mind set. Alcohol was a complete no no but if someone had a joint I just destroyed it and wrote them a ticket..no jail time. In the states I worked in it was the officers discretion.

    yes it is totally normal. weed is way less dangerous than alcohol. people don't kill people while high on marijuana, when they are drunk on the other hand..

    i like weed and alcohol together :) it is amazing.

  • Definately normal. And I totally agree. Weed should be legalized and made so that you have to be 21 if need be. Same as the drinking age. Because alcohol is dangerous. Weed isn't. As the saying goes "I got high, and no one died. TRUTH"

    Totally normal. People bash marijuana because it's not a social norm and people don't know what it is to be high so it scares them

    Both weed and alcohol are bad for you. The only reason alcohol is legal is because the toothpaste is already out of the tube and would be impossible to make illegal. We so don't need any more legalized drugs out there. It already sucks bad enough that my tax dollars are going to have to help take care of all these addicts under Obamacare. Let's not encourage people

      weed is better for u then alcohal weed is good for u it has a lot of medical pupuses to it were the fuck do get its bad for you man? The only reasons its ilegal is beause the government cant really profit off of it and becuse they think its a gate way to other drugs. an fyi weed has been ilegal 1% of its excistence so that means 99% of its excistance its been leagle. lETS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE!! for prop 215 legaliz medical marijuana poeple need it man!
