If you had morals of the highest order you would see that both are wrong for many reasons.

Peoples perceptions would automatically deduce that smoking pot is worse than drinking because in most places it is illegal, unless that is you are a bonefide pot aficionado. Further more people would openly admit to drink for the same reason, smoking pot in the eyes of the law is wrong.

Personally I think the decriminalization of pot is a good idea if taken in moderation it is no more worse than drinking or smoking cigarettes and there are alot of widely used perscription drugs which have a more harmful effects on the human body than pure pot does.

Because alcohol is more common and the more 'accepted' in todays society, i would have to say that smoking pot is the "worse" in the view of morals.. If cops came to you and asked if you were smoking pot or drinking, which would you be more inclined to tell them, drinking is the obvious choice as pot could wind you up in jail maybe for the night. Who can't tell me that wen they were growing up, they didn't get a lecture from their parents about drugs, pot being one of them, but do they ever mention alcohol? no, cause it is more socially accepted..

Smoking pot looks bad no matter how often you do it. Drinking alcohol only looks bad if you do it a lot and often get drunk. Pot gives the image of someone who might be a criminal. Alcohol gives the image of someone who has problems (depression e.c.t). I think that if you can enjoy both within reason, then there is nothing to be ashamed of. However, if you admit to smoking pot, people might look down on you even if you don't do it often..It depends on who you are admitting it to.

Depends actually from person to person.I think smoking pot is worse coz that categorises a person as a drug addict.Plus drugs are really really addictive!!!! Wheras alcohol is common in social gatherings and parties.If taken appropriately, it rather gives warmth n energy.however,excess of ANYTHING is bad!

People admit to taking alcohol more than smoking pot coz it actually is seen as a status symbol if taken within limits.Also, it is legal.Pot is drugs and is surely a big NO!!!!!!!!!in most nations.It is illegal.

Drinking alcohol because it ruins all the organs in your body faster than that of smoking pot and i think that people should stop all these stuff because they ruin us, the race of humans.

I refuse to judge people for what they do.
But in my opinion, Pot is not as bad for your body as alcohol. Which is why I think pot should be legalized. (I don't smoke or drink FYI.)

But, how many people have O.D'd on pot?- No one.
And how many people have died of alcohol related disease?

Smoking pot is illegal, and people won't come out and say, Yes, I smoke.

But alcohol,?, it is served in public.

As far as morals goes it would be smoking pot, since it is illegal and it is considered by some to be immoral to break the law.
