They both have a price in terms of health but having smoked Pot for twenty five years I would say that heavy use of Pot has had a detrimental effect on about 1% of the people I have known whereas heavy use of alcohol has ruined around 70% of heavy users I have known and has killed around 10%. I used to pick up bodies from the public mortuary and on weekends the drainage channels had a head on them! Pot can trigger latent schizophrenia...so have a care..basically there is no such thing as a safe drug or a free lunch so have a care!

Pot every time, If you have to do something to get your kicks at least it's non addictive and it's not called Dope for Nothing! I would never avoid a gang of youths who were stoned as long as they haven't mixed it with Alcohol! They have different effects and that is why you get your brains scrambled! They'd probably be sat around discussing philosophy! I'd never go near a gang out on the booze! Look at them wrong and all Hell breaks loose! Alcohol makes people violent as we all well know but hey, thats OK it's legal! The law is so hypocritical it's a joke!
Pot is a damn good painkiller with far less nasty side effects than the mix of drugs I'm forced to take and remain inside the law. It even replaces several of them and My Boss has it prescribed lucky devil! Sorry but seeing him with or without that drug I know it's good! I lived through the 60's and Yes I did my share of both! I've never become addicted to Pot but came close to needing the services of AA! I smoke anyway and now if a quick joint gets me a good nights sleep with No hangover next day as I do with the legal pills, (why label me a junkie, I'm even saving the NHS money by having less prescritions)Mixing Alcohol with the drugs I'm on will put me to sleep too but I might not wake up! Seems I'm perfectly entitled to kill myself slowly on the legal stuff like Morphine and Alcohol but One little joint which isn't going to hurt me No Way!
I've all too often seen the damage Alcohol causes. I've looked after a lot of Alcoholic's and my sister has the dubious pleasure of looking after the aftermath of those few legal drinks in A&E every Friday and Saturday! Ok my clients havent got Lung disease but 99% of them have Liver Disease of varying degree! I'm seeing younger and younger clients with problems too! Ever seen a 21 year old with brain damage caused by one drink too many leading to a drunken Brawl! I do daily!
Funny I'm not addicted, crazy or Fat! I haven't yet got lung disease either! Nor are my friends who dont drink! If anything makes you fat its Alcohol! How many men do you see who have a beer gut?
Sorry RANT OVER!

As I have tried both I would say pot. I have also worked with alcohol for 18 years our family has run pubs, clubs & nightclubs. I have also worked at all the rock/metal gigs around the U.K. and the worst kind of people are those who drink copious amounts of booze. those who smoke a bifter,joint, doobie, spliff.... or whatever you wish to call it just want to sit n' chill.

Both will eventually get ya!! Sure pot kills a lot brain cells but not as fast or as ugly as alcohol, plus w/ alcolhol you get liver disease, sexual problems, some people get very violent w/ alcohol..
With pot, you probably gain some weight (getting the munchies) and people get mellow...and arrested if caught w/ it.
I dont like neither one..

Weeeeeellllllll, as I indulge in both, I see both the good and bad.
Mary Jane - nice sweet flavours opens the mind and NEVER casues a fight. If all the military forces in the world smoked a joint, would we be at war ANYWHERE in the world just now - no.
Alcohol - When drunk responsibly, inhibitions are lowered thought processes are channelled, and realisation comes more openly.
So in answer to your question both, but probably not at the same time.

Pot smokers anonymous? Nope.
Death by Marijuana ingestion? Never happened. Ever.
Alcoholics anonymous, millions of active members
Death by alcohol ingestion? All the time, daily, actually
Diseases and illnesses caused by alcohol consumption? Several, including the deadly cirrhosis.
Diseases and illnesses caused by marijuana consumption? None. Ever

Neither! I've been there and done that with both and it wasn't worth it. Both Pot and Alcohol screwed my brain up. I'm now an Alcoholic and can't drink. Neither is worth it!

pot is much healthier for you than alcohol, it does not ruin the liver, it doesn't turn you into an idiot the way alcohol does. Pot doesn't make you an obnoxious, smelly butt kiss, the way alcohol does, and there is no hang-over!

I say alcohol, in the morning you never remember what happened the night before, and sometimes that can be a good thing.
