Which is worse for the body: alcohol or marijuana?

It's a tough call between cigarettes and alcohol.

Cigarettes chip away at you - with alcohol, you can have a drink a day for your entire adult life and be totally unscathed. A cigarette a day, on the other hand, is enough to eat at your lungs and gums.

However, chain-smoking ten cigarettes in an hour isn't going to do much more harm than ten cigarettes in a week, but binge drinking is where most of the bodily harm occurs.

In terms of addiction, however, alcohol is the clear heavy hitter. A tobacco addiction will leave you breathless at your deathbed, sure, but an alcoholic will suffer throughout their entire life. At least as a smoker you can function daily and still lead a happy (if somewhat shortened) lifestyle. I think alcohol takes the cake in terms of destruction.

Marijuana, it should be noted, does none of these things.

Are you freaking kidding me? Alcohol of course! Hell, marijuana helped me get my life straightened up. Mary Jane would never do me wrong, but the sauce is no bueno. Sure, I'll have a quad-monthly shot or two of Apple Schnapps, but that stuff will turn my liver into pudding. Plus, my family has a history of alcoholism, think I'm going to be the next of my line to drown my sorrows in a beer bottle? No thanks man. Mary for me please.

marijuana, is better for you.I personaly love marijuana... i would rather get baked off my tits then drink. It really depends on the person. But think of it this way... Stoners are mostly allways more kind natured then people who drink, when i get baked with my friends,we play video games,go on Maccas/dominoes runs and listen to music. I dont drink that often at all and every time i drink with my friends they allways end up fucking themselves up or others... Drinking is stupid in my opinion. Plus it makes me really depressed where drugs dont.

I would agree more if you combine alcohol and cigarettes.

Alcohol and cigarettes are equal in my book and both should be much harder to get than marijuana. Idk about making any of thwn illegal because honestly i think it should be a personal decision. survival of the fittest baby.

Alcohol is way worse. I know people that are my dads age that used to be heavy drinkers and today they still are. My dad was a heavy smoker and its perfectly fine and doesnt smoke and rarely drinks. When your drunk your not focused and are dumb. When your high your more alert.

Im happy to say that i rarely drink alcohol and never smoke and still is as happy as if i where constantly high...

Alcohol is a billion times worse.

Weed has so many health benefits. The only time you hear negative things is when people are trying to put it down...

There's a list of the benefits, like helping neurological conditions or preventing cancer. It really should be legal. I don't understand why there's so much hate for it?

I put "marijuana rocks", but I haven't even had it, so perhaps I should've put "alcohol"? O well, at least I still managed to get my message across:)

Totally Alcohol. Pot ruins your perception, reality and brain more than anything. Alcohol ruins everything else. It ruins your brain, your liver, your kidneys, it makes you fat, fat puts stress on your heart. So yeah it can jack you up. Also considering you are drinking something we use to disinfect cuts. Not something you should be ingesting.

People take both to get rid of emotional or physical pain though. I think in the long run though Alcohol is much much worse. Hallucinogenics are proven to ruin your brains. Yet some of them are used for pain and various type of medications.

I think cigs and alcohol are equally as unhealthy; cigs destroy the lungs and alcohol destroys the liver. Weed has more of a mental effect than physical. I don't smoke cigs or weed but I drink occasionally. I don't know why I always pick the unhealthy choice :/ lol

I've never tried marijuana. Should I?

It is a little funny and contradictory that alcohol is legal and is extremely easy to get, where as marijuana is illegal and can also (depending on the situation) land you in prison for life.

I like getting drunk or tipsy from alcohol, but I hate the hang over afterward. With marijuana, I have never experienced any such thing, just sobering up.

I think too much of marijuana is still not as bad as too much alcohol. It makes sense that if one of them is legal, they both should be.

Alcohol was made illegal so to speak in america during the prohibition, look at how unpopular it was. Now if every american stepped up and said we want weed to be legal then eventually the government would have to listen to the people or eventually someone would be elected that could give the people what they want.

People who Drink will Defend Beer, People who Smoke Will defend Weed..
They Both will kill ya someday, Good Day..
