Answer 1

Marijuana is much safer than alcohol. You can find extensive references on the health effects at http://druglibrary.org/schaffer

In short, all the major studies of the subject say that there are few, if any, negative health effects, even for long-term users.

The collection linked above includes the full text of nearly every major government commission report that has studied the subject. If anyone tells you how bad it is, simply ask them if they can name any of the major studies of the subject and tell you what they said. You will find that none of them who think it is bad can name even any of the major reports. The entire policy is built on ignorance.

If you want to know how all this nonsense got started see http://druglibrary.org/schaffer/History/whiteb1.htm Among other things, the US Official Expert on Marijuana testified in court, under oath, that when he tried marijuana, it turned him into a bat. He also said that it can make your incisors grow six inches long.

If someone tells you that it is bad, but they don't mention that it will turn you into a bat, then they just don't know the subject.

Answer 2

Have you ever been sober and been around a drunk you can not stand being around them! Been around someone who smoked marijuana they do not bother you! I know it is against the law but you are right it is illegal because the government makes more money off of it that way. Both kills brain cells but just getting older and not using the brain kills brain cells. People that smoke marijuana usually don't smoke it around people that don't use it themselves so they are not hurting anyone else but drunk drivers kill people all the time.

Answer 3

I read a report recently and the war on drugs is based on racism
it goes back to immigrants in Mexico and black jazz music ans it was their drug of choice. Alcohol is a rich mans drug its part of American heritage that's why its legal. Marijuana is bad it hurts your lungs immune system and intoxicates you but so does caffeine and over the counter drugs. Alcohol has killed thousands of people in drunk driving accidents more people have died behind the wheel falling asleep than weed. A black teen got life in jail in Texas for smoking pot on his probation he violated it but originally was convicted of armed robbery. This is horrible some states are more harsh than others Texas obviously racist state. Alcohol may be water soluble but impairs your driving for hours while marijuana maybe 2 hours max even though weed stays in your system longer the effects aren't as long. These propaganda commercials are related to a bigger scheme intertwined in big business ''anhiuser bush'' government and state. Weed isn't great for your lung health but it wont make you stupid in fact alcohol kills more brain cells.

Answer 4

It's probably not as bad as alcohol but inhaling any kind of smoke, whether it be tobacco or dope can't be doing your lungs any good. (Tobacco is the real killer.)

However, on another note, I read a couple of weeks ago, marijuana seems to forestall the plague buildup in the brain associated with Alzheimer's. Go figure.

Answer 5

It's like saying that consuming cyanide is worse than consuming Drano; One may be worse than the other, but both are bad.

I can tell you that marijuana smokers are over 100 times more likely to use heroin than those who do not light up (National Institute on Drug Abuse). I can also tell you that a study also found that 1/8 of fatal car accidents were linked to weed - the same number as those accidents linked to alcohol (National Transportation Safety Board).

Answer 6

Once companies can have Marijuanna sold in stores like Cigarettes,.. it will be like Tabacco and Alcohol combined. Amazeing what Pesticides & Additives can do.

Answer 7

Both are killers, not only in hurting others but in hurting oneself. Marijuana will eventually affect the brain and kill cells. I have known Marijuana smokers who have gone from bright guys who spoke extremely well to guys who couldn't put two sentences together. One guy who smoked incessantly went nuts and then died. Alcohol will kill via liver problems (cirrhosis) which is a hella way to go.

Answer 8

Marijuana downs the user to drowsiness and dreams while sleeping unlike alcohol that pumps the drinker to aggressiveness resulting to violence.

Answer 9

i guess its relative..

both can have good and negative effects.. still depends how much you take and how well you handle urself after that..

Answer 10

Go look at the billions of people that are dying from it.
