Alcohol is very toxic to my body. I can feel its affect on my liver and brain for days after having just a few drinks. I think it's a really disgusting thing for me, something in which even once is too much. Being drunk itself, well, I'm a lot dumber, extrovertive, I spend money, do drugs I wasn't planning on doing, and I take risks. I find it addictive in the sense that a lot of the time it sweeps me away and I end up having more to drink than I originally intended. The only reason I ever drink is due to its common availability and to peer pressure, it is the #1 source of self abuse in my life and I wish it wasn't around so much. I also think that most people drink because they are brainwashed by the media, govenment etc. higher powers to flock like sheep to the liquor store, I don't think that many people actually enjoy getting drunk. But then again, I very rarely partake in it apart from the odd bender when I'm fed up with being alive. I am an alcohol hater, and I can't understand how anybody in their right mind would ever consume this stuff daily - seems like a great way to ruin your body and mind to me. It's just so incredibly toxic, the most toxic thing of all.
Weed helps point out behaviour to me which is toxic to my body through heightening my self awareness and making me more paranoid about things potentially harmful. It has led me to a highly physically active lifestyle, and also to develop excellent culinary skills for making creative, delicious, and healthy meals in the absence of fast food, alcohol, or much dining. I care a lot about my body when I'm stoned, and smoking more weed when I'm high never feels like such a bad thing for me. It also stimulates me to study science, mathematics, language, literature, etc. and push the limits of my productivity - at times at least, sometimes I feel burnt out on it but that's just unstable me. This happens anyway, I'm sure as hell not superman without the stuff. With weed I'm addicted though, and run into serious instabilities when I don't smoke that can really get me into trouble in life, but these are for the most part manageable. It can also get me into trouble because of how it is considered illegal. For the most part, my problems with weed are due to other people having a problem with it, not me. Any problems that do surround my use of it are caused by my deep hatred of some aspects of life; after all, it's just a cute little flower with potentially spiritually enlightening effects, while I am an ego-devil member of a zombie plague that is Planet Earth's dirty disease, otherwise known as a human being.
Weed is an epic mood lift. Brewing up a fat bong rip of dank kush+hash, that's going to make me grin uncontrollably and giggle about life for a few hours... and then I am going to be prone to snapping your head off when I'm sober again, but it's nothing anywhere even close to as miserable as a godawful fucking hangover, and besides, I rarely feel the need to come down because nobody can tell whether I am sober or high unless I reek of course but I have a vaporizer too, I can do everything baked just fine.
