Physically, alcohol is the more damaging drug.
Alcohol is PHYSICALLY addicting and the withdrawal from it (or barbiturates, which work the same chemically) can result in death. Even heroin doesn't do that.
The major problem with marijuana is that it is ILLEGAL. Its legal status criminalizes a significant portion of the population. Marijuana itself does NOT lead to harder drugs, but consorting with members of the drug culture in order to obtain it does.
It also suppresses motivation and impairs short-term memory, but for much of the work force working in mindless, repetitive jobs, this isn't a real problem.
I do not smoke pot because I don't like the effects it has on ME, but I wholeheartedly support the legalization of its use.

In my opinion alcohol is more damaging.I've seen people drink over long periods of time and it really wrecks lives.On the other hand I know people who have smoked weed every day for
long periods of time who are damaged but not
nearly as bad as an alcoholic would be.To me
personally I never liked weed but I've noticed that when some people I know did it they were
so much more relaxed and fun to be with.But I am not trying to say that either of these vices
are ok to do I just want to tell which one I think is more damaging.

Ok look here now da herb
is an herb
and it was placed on the earth
for a reason
and altho I do not smoke
I say it was placed here for medicinal use
and in your condition I will guess
you are not an old man who like is in pain
sitting back rollin up one to ease his pain
So like there isn't anything in all that
to actually help you
but to nod,
over eat,
laugh ,
or grin
as you peep
through half shut eyes
AM I RIGHT
So save your stash when you get old
because I can tell you are going to need it
So bury it in a tight sealed what ever
Ok Grandpa
And when the day comes that you are in pain
you will be glad you had yours stashed
Why do you think they call it stash
Because it is well hidden until needed
if you do not believe me go ask Smokey

Alcohol is much worse. It's one of America's biggest killers via drunk drivers.
Besides, how many people have you heard of that have OD'd on weed? OK, now how about alcohol poisoning? It's actually physically impossible to OD on weed. You'd pass out WAYYYYY before you inhaled enough THC to kill you.
Also, have you ever seen an angry drunk (ever been to a bar)? Now how about an angry stoner..?
Though I don't smoke it, it's quite obvious that weed is a much better solution for the people than alcohol.

Pot is better than alcohol. Ever hear of someone smoking a doobie and shooting someone because of it? Nah, it doesn't happen. Booze makes you drive faster, pot makes you drive slower.
Viva la hemp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alcohol damages the liver and can kill you if you drink too much, you cant die from smoking pot.

Marijuana can make you stupid too, but since the founding fathers weren't potheads but rather alcoholics, we can't legalize pot now can we.
