Poll: Marijuana or Alcohol?

<<The effects of smoking can be reveresed with time...unless you contracted cancer or something.>>

Is this true? I thought the damage to the lungs was pretty much permanent.

As I smoker without cancer (knock on wood) I'd like to know.

And who was talking about smoking an ounce a week. Is that just one person? That's more than an eighth a night! Wow!! I thought I consumed a bit back in the day. That was only about 1/2 an ounce a week at the peak.

Also, on the question of ciggs vs pot, the tobacco in ciggs gets a ton of chemicals added to it. You know, for flavor and whatnot.

I'll take an unfiltered joint over a ciggy given the choice. Of course, this is from a man that smokes both regularly.

Weed is worse...

You can drink some alcohol and not get drunk. But you smoke some weed and you get high...just ike that.

Alcohol is worse in general &amp; worse for me too

so? whats so bad about getting high at the physical level? if i had to drink, i would drink till i get a good buzz so its probably worse in that sense in terms of raw amount consumed and whatnot...

<< Interesting fact: Three drugs which will leave unreversable effects on your body are Speed, Ecstasy, and Marijuana. >>



And may I ask for a source where you found that? DARE perhaps?


THe conversation on this thread shows how little the majority knows about drugs. Let me clarify a few points.


1. Marijuana DOES NOT kill brain cells. The study that was done that showed this was proved fals years ago. THe people conducting the tests were cutting off the air supply to the mokeys in the tests, therefore killing braincells.

2. When you buy ecstasy you will NEVER EVER begetting pure MDMA. The majority of E is cut with another form of speed. Yes folks, MDMA IS a type of speed!

3. All you sheep who saw that MTV special on E and how it leaves holes in your brain need to start doing some outside research. Those &quot;holes&quot; in the brain were simply areas that are unused, not holes.

4. No one can confidentally say E is safe because no one knows for sure. But what we do know is that it does not cause brain damge, and holes in your brain. Currently, the only majorly known disadvantage to X is the loss of seratone (sp?) in your brain. Not a huge problem, only a problem if E is used excessively.

5. Acid is an extremely powerful drug, but it is not a brain cell killing drug either. LSD is perhaps the safest drugs in terms of being laced. Since average acid doeses are in the 150-400 MICROGRAM range, there is no room for other chemicals.


As for which is worse, alcohol or cannabis, alcohol is far worse, in ANY aspect. Even one beer does harm to your body. Remeber kids, alcohol is toxic to your body. Cannabis on the other hand has been proven to be beneficial (seldom use) in studies. I wont even mention the fact that it is next to impossible to die from an OD on cannabis either.

But both drugs are harmful in different ways. Remeber, EVERYTHING is good in moderation.

CRAP! This reminds me, I think I left my bag of weed at the bar last night!

That is a great saying

I'll try not to be too honest here. I don't like anything with chemicals in it. And that includes beer. If I can grow it myself and I know it isn't going to get me addicted, it'd be for me. That's all I'm saying.

alcohol is worse! besides the fact it isn't as fun as smoking weed!
