Thread: Which is worse?

liquid thc

100% that polls about any substance abuse is worthless.

Um, pot is illegal here, so it's clearly worse.


(If we're only talking about what's worse for your body, though, I'd pick drinking. But at least that's legal. Somehow.)

Alcohol over reefer, by far.

In England, they're reclassifying reefer to a class B drug from a class C drug. (http://www.drugscope.org.uk/resource...pages/laws.htm for info)

Which is completely fucking stupid, reefer does far less damage, just take a look at a bar/club area on a friday night in England verses the stoned guy sitting at home laughing at some crappy idea/tvshow/a picture.

The Government are fucking stupid.

binge drinking is better
than most things, if not everything!

My liver doth protest too much.

Binge-drinking by far. It can and will affect anyones liver whereas studies on pot are less conclusive.

Both are amazing.

But, if I had to pick, I've seen more people go severely wrong from a psychological weed addiction than from binge drinking. Binge drinking might make you fat, but in most cases, if you're of sound mind to begin with, you won't start fights or horrifically injure yourself or others (physically at least). Excessive smoking of weed makes people paranoid and withdrawn.

Well, with "100%" indulgence I think the answer is pretty obviously drinking. Getting totally wasted of liquor on a daily basis, as much as a serious pot head gets stoned, is a good way to kill yourself in a matter of years, and in the mean time kill your memory and cognitive function worse then any amount of pot (read serious neurological damage, delirium tremens, ect.), not to mention serious and potential fatal withdrawal symptoms that come with cessation of chronic alcohol use.

However, I think marijuana is far easier, and more likely, to be abused on a chronic basis. I know lots of people who have spent periods of their life high all day, with varying levels of positive/negative effects. The unfortunate people I've seen who got very drunk for the majority of their waking hour faired far worse by comparison. But I think most heavy drinkers are still on the side of, at the worst, getting pretty drunk most nights, very few people really fall into the "drunk all day" range; though those that do clearly suffer from a serious, and if left untreated, possibly fatal disease. Pot seems to me to be more of a risk for your "normal" person, whereas serious alcohol problems seem to afflict, in my experience, people who already had clear underlying mental disorders/instability.

I've also noticed that heavy binge drinkers are more attracted to harder drugs (esp benzos and heroin) then most habitual marijuana smokers.

Drinking for sure.

Having the two differ legally doesn't mean shit when it comes to what they do to your body, It's been long obvious they legalised the wrong one anyway, however there are soooo many variables when it comes to individual reactions to them, potential addictiveness etc etc.

Ironically though, one drink a day is better for you than one joint a day, but in excess I think drinking is much more harmful.

Well there's a difference between going all out on one of those for the night, or become a chronic alcoholic/stoner.

Although I think in both cases alcohol is worse. Drinking actually makes me way less productive than smoking because I get killer hangovers from drinking. The next day after drinking your face off you feel like shit. Smoking isn't as bad for me.

Alcohol is worse.

Weed is the only drug that doesn't build a tolerance and isn't physiologically addicting. You can become psychologically addicted to anything, even another person.

The only reason weed is illegal is because anyone can grow it, therefore the government can't really make a profit off it because even if it was sold in stores, you could still grow it for cheaper in your backyard. Tobacco needs to be taken care of and all sorts of stuff needs to be done to it before you can smoke it, but weed.... you just grow it and smoke it.

It's not bad for you at all. In fact, it has many relaxing benefits.

I think Angela would say that both are equally unacceptable, so... yeah... that's my answer.
