I would rather be drunk than high. Who is with me?

Although moderation is key, here is some reasons why I think cannabis is a safer drug between the two:

Pro's of weed
- no hangover
- very very hard to get sick from smoking weed, no throwing up, no overdose, etc
- not addictive, no physical dependency

Cons of weed
- Its illegal
- smoking it can get your lungs filled with tar, unless you vaporize it.
- can be pricey depending on your habit.

pro's of booz
- its legal
- big social and commercial network setup around it
- gets girls horny

cons of booz
- its a nerve irritant, causes people to get violent/aggresive
- can get you very sick if you drink to much
- can kill you if you drink way too much
- you can get physically dependent on booz


so all in all, weed is safer for your body, but I think if either is abused you will run into its *own* problems...

you forgot to mention alcohol being pricey.

one can easily drop 100 in a bar, a sack is that

I think there was a misprint in your original post... what is this drunk "or" high that you speak of?

Now if you meant drunk "and" high, well I can answer that:

YES, I would prefer to be drunk and high.

the only thing I don't like about alcohol is the possible hangover after that sometimes occurs. that is the only advantage that pot has.

Okay, I have to post this and say maybe I was wrong. Yesterday I got high for the first time in months, and I must say, I actually enjoyed it more than being drunk. I dunno why, this has never happened before, maybe it was because we were outdoors and I had not smoked weed for a long time but maybe I was wrong.

I prefer a margarita to a bowl.

BUT....theres always a but.... my absolute preference is au 'naturel.
I guess that means smoke free, drink free, drug free and naked?!? yup yup!

STONED any day

whats the point of having a debate about this


both at the same tim makes everybody happy

both are good but drunk is cheaper

But If you have to go with just one, I am seeing weed being the clear winner. This was unexpected.

i enjoy both, i dont smoke weed much but last night i rolled a huge joint and got pretty wasted

if i drank the equivalent level of alcohol then i would have felt pretty sick probably

i like weed because you dont ever feel shit from it at all but i dont like it because you have to smoke it, i have a preexisting cough that is pretty bad so it doesnt help.

most of the time i drink alcohol its not to get drunk, i enjoy beer, i drink light and midstrength quite a lot because i drink it while i work, i also love red wine, but again, not to get drunk

thats the difference for me i suppose, when i smoke i do it because i want to tune out, forget about my problems and have a nice relaxing time - hang out with mates, listen to music etc

not to say i never get drunk for a good time, but if i could buy beer and wine that were non alcoholic and that actually tasted good i would probably drink them a lot

just remember boys and girls

beer before grass and you're on your arse
grass before beer and you're in the clear

i'm a pothead & an alcoholic

deal with it

The alcohol must have killed your brain cells. MARIJUANA DOES NOT KILL BRAIN CELLS and thats the only FACT.





"
Myth: Pot kills brain cells
Government experts now admit that pot doesn't kill brain cells.(8) This myth came from a handful of animal experiments in which structural changes (not actual cell death, as is often alleged) were observed in brain cells of animals exposed to high doses of pot. Many critics still cite the notorious monkey studies of Dr. Robert G. Heath, which purported to find brain damage in three monkeys that had been heavily dosed with cannabis.(9) This work was never replicated and has since been discredited by a pair of better controlled, much larger monkey studies, one by Dr. William Slikker of the National Center for Toxicological Research(10) and the other by Charles Rebert and Gordon Pryor of SRI International.(11) Neither found any evidence of physical alteration in the brains of monkeys exposed to daily doses of pot for up to a year. Human studies of heavy users in Jamaica and Costa Rica found no evidence of abnormalities in brain physiology.(12) Even though there is no evidence that pot causes permanent brain damage, users should be aware that persistent deficits in short-term memory have been noted in chronic, heavy marijuana smokers after 6 to 12 weeks of abstinence.(13) It is worth noting that other drugs, including alcohol, are known to cause brain damage."

corect, it does not kill brain cells. some drugs dont kill brain cells but they wear them, marihuana does wear them either

I dont drink or smoke.. No wonder I am soo unhappy
