Which is less harmful to you...Alcohol or Weed?

Answer 1

Neither. They are both very harmful for you the only difference is alcohol is legal and weed is not.

Answer 2

They both are harmful in excess.

They can both alter your mindset and cause you to do things you otherwise wouldn't do if you were sober or not high.

Weed is a natural herb, so lots of people think it isn't as bad for you as alcohol or smoking cigarettes.

It really depends on your use of these substances. Weed can get you introuble because its illegal. Alcohol can get you killed if you drive a car.

Being safe with both substances might not be smart, but it'll at least not be harmful.

Answer 3

Alcohol is less harmful. A small amount of weed can cause more damage used only once than a small amount of alcohol used once. Weed leaves lasting effects in blood stream and tissues (it stores in the fat) for a much longer time than does alcohol. If you used large amounts of either substance (without reaching toxic levels) for say 3 months, the alcohol ultimately causes less damage than the weed and leaves less permanent damage, if any. Finally, you are way less likely to be arrested for a small amount of alcohol than a small amount of weed.

Answer 4

Both have there risk but weed is probably less of a problem.
Simply because you are less likely to see yourself as 10 foot tall and bullet proof on weed like many do on booze. I am 62 years old, have done both and a few other drugs over my life time. I can honestly say every thing in my life I regret was done while I was drunk. Weed just made me horny and hungry. so, toke up, just don't over do it or get caught.

Answer 5

Let's see Alcohol is extremely addictive, can cause liver damage, causes many deaths each year just from overdosing.

While on the other hand Weed is not physically addictive (you will not have any withdrawals if you stop smoking), new studies show that the smoke in weed does not cause lung cancer, and nobody has ever died from overdosing on weed.

But weed is illegal so if you get caught you go to jail.

So you decide for your self which one you think is better

Answer 6

well...basically both are harmfull in causing pathalogocal conditions within the liver and kidneys for alcohol....and in the other hand weed is the pathogenesis of neurological disfunctions.
As U drink Alcohol....ur liver in the other hand is a detoxificator and tries it's best to adapt to the poisons that U have drunk by actually trying to detoxify the alcohol...sooo too much of alcohol consumption can actually cause or lead in to cell apoptosis and thus regeneration of new hepatocytes(liver cells) are takes place...where by it actually decreases the proper functioning of the liver in full capacity...( That is Y the livers of alcohol consumers looks like it has a lot o pimples..)

whereby on the other hand ....weed is drug that does not damage the liver ...but somehow it is inhaled in to the lungs actually damaging the alveolis in the lungs...and therefore causes actuall lung cancer.....just like cigarrettes....well...unlike how it affects the brain....by actually alterring the proper functioning of the brain and is harmfull if excessive alterations are not stopped...this is why weed users end up in somekind of mental hospital...

well ..since alcohol causes very much slower death to hepatocytes....thne i would say that alcohol is actually less harmfull than weed.
thank you.

Answer 7

Both can be harmful if used irresponsibly. To me, though I think marijuana can be the least harmful. But so can alcohol if you only consume on beer.
Either way..they're both drugs and if one uses them irresponsibly then they can become very harmful.

Answer 8

I have seen many more people get violent because of or addicted to alcohol. I don't think it's possible to get addicted to weed (although it might be habit-forming). Perhaps there are long-term effects from pot-smoking, but it can't be worse than cirrhosis.

Answer 9

Weed. Have you ever heard of anybody getting stoned and beating their wife? No, they got stoned and forgot to beat their wife. I live in Alaska where weed is legal.

Answer 10

Alcohol's intended use is light, and not necessarily to get you "drunk". On the other hand the sole purpose of weed is to get you high.

I would say alcohol.
