this is a joke right?
how can anyone say alcohol is better, one might like the drunk/high better and thats fine but that doesn't mean alcohol is a better drug. comparing these two drugs there is no doubt that marijuana is king! (unless of course you hate the pot high, but who hates the pot high? i guess some do...everyone reacts different and in that case it isn't king for you but your a small minority)
BUT....marijuana is king IMO because
*non-toxic
*doesn't kill brain cells
*is neuroprotective and can help prevent alzheimers
*has myriad medicinal qualities
*doesn't cause lung cancer (bob marley had cancer everywhere in his body when he died EXCEPT IN HIS LUNGS, not to mention all the recent studies proving it doesn't cause cancer: also refer to-
http://nepenthes.lycaeum.org/Drugs/THC/Health/cancer.html)
*you can't overdose on it or die from it
*no hangover or crash or shitty feeling (unless you are smoking bad stuff)
*you can use it whenever & not feel like a druggie like drinking before noon
*you can function on it, do work/read, drive, go to work, etc
*you don't get physically addicted, withdrawal pales in comparison w/ hard drugs
*you don't beat your wife/spouse on it
*you most likely aren't going to kill someone driving on it
*it enhances your senses
*music sounds better
*food tastes better
*sex is better
*can help with opiate/cocaine/alcohol/cigarette addictions
um.... i could go on for a long time... i know as soon as i post this i think of 12 more things. problems with alcohol:
-rots your liver (ie. jack kerouac)
-you can easily OD and die on it
-causes physical dependece
-withdrawal is easily as bad as many "hard" drugs
-you may solicit sex from pages or make antisemetic remarks to a
cop on it
-it KILLS BRAIN CELLS, probably doesn't help your intelligence
-it has no medicinal quailties and no doctor would prescribe it (marijuana legal in 11 states for medical use, never heard of an medical alcohol movement yet)
+it can be good for your body in small quantities however**
-it makes some people violent probably is the #1 cause of domestic abuse
-driving on it is 1000x worse than on pot
-you can't function well on it (if you are drunk, compared with being high on pot)
-lowers inhibitions to the point where you can easily have unprotected sex (std's, marijuana would NEVER do that)
for those who said pot can make you burnt-out the next day (a pot-like hangover) i just have to say, SMOKE REAL MARIJUANA and not commercial shit. if you smoke shitty weed you can have a lot of problems, headache, anxiety, crash, burnt feeling,
but its because its shit weed, if you smoke medical grade cannabis (the variety that suits you best: indica, sativa, or one of the thousands of hybrids) you will not experience a burnt-out feeling.
"A metaphysical herb who's smoke is no more disruptive than insight"
- Allen Ginsberg
"It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend."
- Louis Armstrong
"The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis."
- Willie Nelson
"The importation and sale of marijuana is condemned and punished as a serious crime, but we accept as legitimate the manufacture and sale of an infinitely more addictive and deadly drug: the nicotine in cigarettes that cost the lives of 390,000 American citizens last year."
- Jimmy Carter
^alcohol kills around 40,000 American citizens every year.
) 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
