POLL: Which is more harmful? Alcohol or Marijuana?

[TheMetsSuck]

it all depends on your tolerance to marijuana, ofcourse same can be said for alcohol but once you hit a certain level you may think you are fine to drive when you really arent. alot of people actually probably drive safer stoned if they smoke marijuana regularly. However, if you took some random person that never smokes and made him take a bong hit and then got on the highway stats me be very different. That person freaking out from the binger is not very likely to get in a car ever

[ParlayininHTown]

I don't mind that either is harmful. Not everyone wants to live to see their 50s.

[TheMetsSuck]

u may need antidepressants bro. see a doctor. get some exercise. stop gambling for a while. good luck

[brainfreeze]

people "trying" MJ for first time and right after proceed to their car... Not smart either

still no comparison though...

[Fidel_CashFlow]

people still think that marijuana directly kills brain cells

[gauchojake]

Most Definitely. Anything inhaled combustion-wise is what releases by-product..ie carbon monoxide. Studies have shown nicotine is not harmful (even found in trace amounts in egg plant or tomatoes). It's lighting the cigarette on fire that does it---releases over 4000 by products. So goes the same smoking mari jane by fire. However, new methods of vaping where technology pulls the THC or nicotine from the product using a battery heating source have generated a mass of excitement and sales. Scientific study has shown risk is less harmful than the former. I know I am making a fortune of them!

weed can cause mental disorders and cancer stop trying to act like its coton candy you lazy stoners

Weed can cause cancer? Maybe the smoking part (just like smoking anything)....but weed itself no

Regardless the question is which substance is worse.....Alcohol by a mile and I like alcohol better

The morons sticking up for alcohol over weed would probably try to argue that a steak is better for you than a salad....Yeah you might like it better, but you're just lying to yourself

[gauchojake]

Your dumb dikk ass could die from breathing carbon monoxide sitting in your garage thinking about your next post.

[JohnGalt2341]

It's actually an interesting topic.

Stoners stick up for weed.

Alcoholics stick up for drinking.

Poll doesn't say how much is consumed in an hour, in a day, or a week, or a year. It just says which one is deadlier?

Some poster just said alcohol leads to 1000s of lives lost due to drunk driving. hmmmm and someone totally baked couldn't cause the same issue? Cool story.

Story doesn't indicate how many other narcotics are being used while consuming alcohol or smoking weed either.

I don't believe the results are showing this. Far more people are sticking up for Weed. So far only 5 people are sticking up for Alcohol. I would assume that more people drink than smoke... but I could be wrong. I prefer to drink myself but I also feel like it is more harmful... especially to society as a whole.

Yeah, I think TMS may be the only drinker sticking up for booze. 30 to 5 on the poll is a solid percentage plus the countless facts out there stating the obvious that alcohol is more harmful. Only one is deadlier, and it's not even close. No point in arguing anymore, I think most of us know the answer.

[chipper]

Moderation is the key to both.... either can be harmful in excess. It's been ten years since I've been stoned but it's definitely the buzz that I feel more in control of.

[puoi]

where it's illegal weed is more harmfull because introduct yourself in a meccanism that open the door for more dangerous drugs

[no1here]

I start the day with about 6 joints while drinking pot of coffee. There after a joint is hung from my mouth throughout the day. At night I usually turn to the pipe. Had my first joint 1968. Don't drink and glad that my kids don't.

[Tommy_de1st]

IMO they are both equally harmfull when we are talking about overusing them.
But when average Joe works Monday to Friday and Saturday night he drinks to get tipsy (not to get wasted) I don't think that can harm his body. Within hours alcohol is washed away from his body system which is contrary to the weed.
And please don't bring up numbers of deaths caused after drinking driving cuz the question was which substance is worse to your body.
and I drink very occasionally and don't do weed at all.
And last thing that comes to my mind is that I pulled waaay more girls after drinking than my stoner mates

don't get me wrong i would rather be a weed addict then alcholic but it just bugs me how people act like weed is harmless.I smoked weed every day for years back in the day and know its not very good for you.

Still waiting for someone to smoke their weight in marijuana and kill themself. This shouldn't even be a debate.

[perfectgam2014]

Drink up 🍻🍻🍻

[Big Bear]

are any of these bad for blood pressure?

[Big Bear]

anybody make their own gummy bears?

[AimePor]

I would say that if comparing two addicted persons, then alcohol is way more harmful and its side effects are awful, just noticed in real life - in the streets - people smoking weed look more peaceful than alcoholics

[R.P. McMurphy]

Overtime like most anything if consumed in moderation I don't think either is bad. Of consumed heavily I gotta think weed is safer and I don't smoke but do drink. Far as drinking /driving deaths and accidents involving booze the #'s are skewed a bit. Ex. if an accident has already taken place and a guy with say 3 beers in his system comes along after the fact and hits them it's an "alcohol realated" accident, if an accident is caused by a sober person with the sober party at fault it's an alcohol related accident and so on. Mmmm beer

[Bcatswin]

Love them both but Alcohol is by far the worst.

[chilidog]

Because it's been mostly illegal in the United Sates to study the effects of marijuana, we simply do not know the answer to your question, OP. People are going to say that alcohol is more harmful - but we don't have enough long-term evidence concerning marijuana.

Smoking *anything* is carcinogenic, and long-term usage will probably cause damage.

It's pretty safe to say alcohol is much worse for society as a whole.....

As for what is safer personally.....Ingesting weed in other ways besides smoking (edibles, vape, etc) and it's a huge favorite that it's safer than alcohol. Even smoking weed I would say is safer

chili.....what would you put your money on being safer?

[Fidel_CashFlow]

not sure whats funnier.....

the name of the thread, or that 10 people said marijuana is more harmful than alcohol

[snapperman2]

Marijuana has been proven to decrease the ability to learn. It can also cause lung cancer if it is smoked.

[Russian Rocket]

I don't smoke and don't drink

but... alcohol will definitely destroy you much faster and more severe...no question about it

both will affect your brain on the long run...but with booze you'll say goodbye to many other organs as well

[zacher]

that purple drank is way worse than a little greenery

[Fidel_CashFlow]

so.......

is this a thread discussing whether marijuana has the potential to be harmful to some degree...

or......

is this a thread who's original intention is a comparison

between marijuana or alcohol being more harmful then the other.

It isnt even arguable. And im not even adding in the physiological detriments

that alcohol does to the body more so then marijuana.

Alcohol jeopardizes way more then the human body , it puts you in situations you would normally not be in.

Liquor has been known to make people lie, cheat, be delusional, drive recklessly,you name it

There is no argument when comparing the two. NONE

Hell, I drink myself, had some drinks last night and planning to have some more tonight(at work at that)

So its not like I hate alcohol or make great decisions myself

but the fact remains that it is far more detrimental to someones life then weed

[MoneyLineDawg]

Both are fun and have their benefits but any vice or drug can be a nightmare if you let it control you

It's not really a contest though and people shouldn't get on their high horses about their vices, it's pretty fukkin laughable actually.....have fun however you want as long as you aren't hurting yourself or others.....The world would be a much better place if everyone tried to live with this kind of attitude

[brainfreeze]

to much of anything is bad for you, Fidel you made a lot of since when saying alcohol makes you do things you normally wouldn't when abused. You never want to be outside of yourself, for nothing.
