Deaths from marijuana = 0
Deaths from alcohol = millions
Man made beer. God made marijuana. Who do you trust?

They are both not healthy for society, but for different reasons. Although at first it appears easy to put the blame on alcohol, research suggests that marijuana is the "gateway" drug, which opens up the door for further drug abuse. Perhaps marijuana is worse, in a "back-door" kind of way, and not openly destructive as alcohol abuse.

Honestly, I would have to say that alcohol is the worse because it makes people kill and act a fool. At least the ones on marijuana don't even want to bother with hurting others....it's too much work...

Definitly alcohol....
but to the second poster... there has been deaths from marijuana.... haven't you ever heard of people driving down the road and dropping their joint on the floor board so they reach down to pick them up and get into an accident? Almost happened to one of my old high school friends LOL.

Alcohol addiction is up there with heroin addiction IMHO. It's just that it is so prevelant and familiar that people don't see it for the evil it is. 10's of thousands of alcohol deaths every year. And from weed? Zero.

I think that the stoned person that's sitting on their couch, watching TV or playing Video Games.. Or who goes to the store or a Fast Food place to buy munchie food.. Is far less dangerous than the drunk person who is starting fights in bars/clubs or with his/her wife... Or who is driving down the road, putting countless people at risk.

I really feel there's little doubt that alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana is. However, with either one you can create habits that are counterproductive to your goals

alcohol. In the US alone, alcohol related disease costs the public ten times what tobacco related disease does. Drinking is contributory to auto, and other, accidents, assaults a family problems.

That's like trying to decide which is bad & worse... Society is simply hazardous to its own health.
