Is the consumtion of alcohol really safer than smoking a joint?

Answer 1

No, but thats what the government will tell you.

Answer 2

Drinking is definitely not safer than smoking a joint. This is coming from someone that doesn't even smoke weed. The few times I've experimented with it, I felt tired and hungry. When I drink, I get rowdy. I'm more likely to try to go somewhere or make a poor decision because I have an abundance of energy to get my a** off the sofa.

Answer 3

Neither is good for you! And its not something you can find out for sure until you get in trouble. So to be on the safe side - don't drink and drive or smoke a joint...Today both actions will land you in jail at least for 12-24 hours...

Answer 4

For your health it is. Alcohol is small amounts is very good for you, it's an antioxidant, and can help you live longer. Weed coats your brain cells with a chemical that makes them useless. So, your IQ actually goes down after doing it, and these effects have been proven, regardless of what people tell you.

In mass amounts, they are equally bad for your health, and can make you do stupid things. As far as safer, alcohol is legal, so that makes it safer as well.

Answer 5

No, I don't believe so. You can get alcohol poisoning.
I've never seen anyone throw up or beat there wife
stoned. At least if you smoke alot of pot you can
still function the next day....VS...throwing up and being
hung over for the whole next day. I
Also If your worried about lung damage you can
always make special brownies! If I had to choose
I would smoke pot and quit alcohol.

Answer 6

NO, NO, NO, have u ever heard or read that someone smoked a joint and then went into a rage and killed someone? (unless it was the weinerschnizel guy that got it) But alcohol has ruined 10's of thousands of lives and continues to reak havoc on millions more

Answer 7

Let me put it this way..
Choice one: Taking a swig of beer, and killing over 1,000 braincells at a time.

Choice two: Taking a puff of a joint and.. Getting high.

Whitch one seems more harmful too you?
And the only reason pot is ilegal is because they cannot tax it.

Answer 8

They both affect your body, mind and thought processes. How much alcohol?? Too much can cause blood alcohol poisoning. Hopefully, unless you are 21, you aren't planning on drinking or smoking.

Answer 9

No!

Alcohol is far more dangerous to your body than weed. Dinking damages your brain, heart, liver, kidneys, stomach, and the circulartory system.

Aside from the smoke inhilation part, weed has yet to be linked to other interal bodily function.

Answer 10

Depends on who you ask......If you ask someone in the law enforcement area....they will tell you it is because smoking pot is illegal.....but.....as far my expierences have shown...I would much rather ride in a car with somone who has smoked pot than with someone who is drunk off their ***. And I dont know about anywhere else...but there is an organization here called MADD (mothers against drunk driving)...and I have yet to hear about MAPS (mothers against pot smoking).....and until I do....I'll still ride with the pot smoker.....

Answer 11

No, alcohol messes with your brain, your heart, your kidneys your bladder, your LIVER. It can cause many problems including seisures, it messes with your neuron transmitters in your brain, killing your brain cells, and your Liver which you need for fighting off diseases with insulin, ect. 2 of my friends died of liver failure, and 1 hemoraged, and I also know another one whose kidneys failed. Marajuana causes lung and brain damage but no where near the effects of alcohol.
