how do you feel these 2 drugs compare? i always preffered marijuana because of the sensual enhancements and the lack of sickness. when youre high on marijuana, music can take you to a whole new level of consciousness. however, when youre high on alcohol, youre pretty much stuck at your current level of conciousness. alcohol makes you have fun but it lacks the potential for that absolute euphoria you can acheive with cannabis and the right environment.
 
alcohol - hangover next day
weed - no hangover next day

alcohol - spew and feel sick after
weed - u dont get that

weed ftw
 
i used to love weed and thought i'd be a lifer but i'm reaching for the bottle rather than the nug a lot lately. i like how alcohol strips us of our inhibitions (drunk girls are more fun than stoned girls :D ), also like how you can add any plant to alcohol to get flavour or even add plants that impart psychoactive properties into the liquor, and then distill it to a purity of your desire. it's also great how many different types of alcohol there are from all different parts of the world, some made with many different ingredients; some processed better than others. and one can't forget the different feelings of drunk that one gets depending on what one drinks... beer for the energy; wine for the happy; liquor for introspection; absinthe for euphoria.
 
probably more of a combination of the two, but if i had to choose I would say alcohol. I really like the drunk 'feeling' better overall and as thujone said, the hookups are better.



However, weed on a school night/morning/before work usually has a better turnout than drinking :)
 
I like weed more.. doesn't make u feel sick at all and you don't have to withstand a horrible taste. And the feeling of alcohol gets reallly annoying after a couple hours or so, its like "i kind of wish everything would stop spinning now......."
 
Weed is better, but don't knock alcohol. It may make you retarded and violent, but you are more likely to have "fun" with booze.
 
after much thought, i think i know a better answer

i think weed effects you too much after you smoke, say if you get high everyday or more than 3 times a week you will act diffrent, if you drink 3 times a week you wont. that is part of why society looks down on weed (atleast I think so), and might be a legitimate reason.

dont get me wrong weed is much better for your health and (atleast mine) mental health, but sometimes it doesnt look that way

elaborate.
 
alcohol will make you act different when you're sober if you drink it too much over too long a period of time.

just as with anything, too much can be bad.

weed deffinately affects your thought pattern a lot more. for people that have irrational or dangerous thoughts sober, weed may not be too good for them.

then again drinking it away isn't either/
 
comparing alcohol and reefer is bullshit imo. they are two different things. you cant just compare two different substances just because they are both psychoactive. imo, alcohol is nothing but a drug numbs your brain, gives you a fake courage. it has a pointless and weak high with many adverse effects. mj is a different subject tho. for me its a mind enhancer, a plant make you think and see things differently than usual. its also much more euphoric than alcohol. and the shittiest part about alcohol is the only way to consume it is to take it orally (dont tell me theres awol:)) which make your stomach fucked up. besides i also dont like the taste and smell of alcohol (all of them taste the same for me by the way:)).

I disagree with that. I can definitely tell when I've been smoking the night before by the way that I feel. The hangover is diffferent, but I think it does exist.
 
weed is good to make my mind and by body to feel good, but mix with alcohol make me desoriated, i feel nausea and it break down I the feeling with weed. For me :do not mix both but is my experience
 
I can mix the two all I want and preety much never get sick, but I dont think either one is better. I say weed for the weekdays, alcohol for the weekends.

Exactly. Cannabis vs alcohol is apples and oranges.
 
^^ That's true. Nonetheless he asked which we prefer and how they compare. so:

Alcohol impairs. Weed enhances. Alcohol get's me fucked up, in the purest sense of the word. Weed just sortof makes things more interesting. It just boosts the senses and grants a lovely headspace where one is content to just be. Alcohol on the other hand does the opposite. Instead of enhancing, it dulls the senses. That's why I don't drink. Pot makes me feel great, and alcohol makes me stupid, and I hate feeling stupid almost as much as I hate actually being stupid.
 
I'd hate to say it since I used to be the biggest stoner, and even a moderator of this forum. But i prefer alcohol now. I've become somewhat of an alcoholic.

Yeah, alcohol can make you feel shit and hangover, but I have found white wine and OJ doesn't produce as much iof a hangover as say, red wine or spirits. It does suck having to drink so much to get desired effects at times, but just like smoking pot, part of the relaxation starts at pouring your drink (like chopping up your weed, packing the pipe etc..).. sitting down and sipping a drink with friends, or even just watching a movie or TV.

Alcohol doesn't really cause anxiety, but as soon as anxiety or paranoia comes into a cannabis trip, it stays around for no apparent reason, and weed is a lot more delusional, especially if you've had a history of mixing it with other drugs, that mind state just seems to build up and up and get worse. But it's not the paranoia, anxiety and delusions from weed that I quit (in fact when i quit weed, i had paranoia and anxiety for weeks as a withdrawl symptom), it's just because it makes you so dumb and slow, and really fucks your memory up.

I still love the smell of weed, but I don't find smoking social at all anymore. It's what I use if I need to get to sleep when I don't have alcohol, benzos or whatever. I enjoy the high for a few minutes then it all goes crappy.

I'm not just talking mentally dumb or anxious either, i'm talking about sickness. Now I smoke cigarettes (on and off) but now when I smoke weed, it makes me sick unless I have something to nibble on, or have some type of fizzy drink or OJ as well, and it makes my nose run like crazy.

So i quit weed ages ago and only use it every now and then, I actually prefer the come-down of weed more, when you can think straight enough, just relax and watch Conan or something, and drift of to instant sleep whenever you want.

Now I'll tell you all what I think beats weed, is GBL! :p GBL ftw!
 
i gotta say weed.
No hang overs
No Siccness from overusage
and most imporantly if your too high to drive(only on rare occasions) you can wait a while and comedown. with alcohol it takes hours for you to really sober up when your drunk. but i cant knock drinkin completly cuz like my shot glass says "i smoke pot to forget my drinkin problem."
