comparing alcohol to marijuana in they're harmful affects is very difficult. but ill attempt it..
marijuana isn't physically addictive although in some cases it can be mentally addictive.
alcohol is addictive and you WILL become dependent over a period of time if abused.
marijuana affects you mentally that are harmful such as lazy, unmotivated, and emotionless/indifferent.
alcohol is different instead of blinding emotions like weed it lets them all out which can be very harmful if your really intoxicated. it definately impairs your judgement 10 fold compared to marijuana.
marijuana hasn't been proved to cause cancer or any other health related problems to my knowledge. although i speak from experience it definately doesn't help the lungs any.
alcohol obviously damages the liver not sure what else it does..
OVERALL i believe they are equally harmful. they are harmful in completely different ways a lot less obvious when it comes to marijuana.
but when i hear stories like one earlier in this thread about someones mother getting beat because the father smoked weed is horse shit in my opinion. that man obviously had problems before he even touched dope.
personally i used to be a hardcore pothead. the only thing it did for me was make me very anti social, unmotivated, and flat broke from buying an 8th a day for 3 years straight. until i started dealing of course but thats a whole different story. now alcohol ive never had a serious problem with because im generally a great happy drunk so i don't have problems there. but, my father was and still is an alcoholic and i wouldn't wish that on any man or woman for that matter.
now even though i say they are equally harmful if i were to abuse either one. id definately abuse marijuana for the fact that i could quit when i wanted to.
ill say one thing ALL GOOD THINGS COME IN MODERATION.
