Do you believe pot is worse than alcohol? Im not going to give all these facts like i normally do on questions like this i just want to see what people believe off the top of their heads.

There has NEVER been one overdose on pot, while many people have died from alcohol poisioning.
When your high from pot your just relax and dont really want to do much which decreases your chances of doing something stupid, unlike alcohol which makes you believe your invincible and pumps up your adrenaline.
I have noticed myself getting high and driving 45 in a 55 yet while i hardly ever drink, one of the very seldom times that i have i noticed my stupidass drunk self driving 90 on the backroads not because im normally like that i had just been drinking and thats what it will do to you.
Also i noticed someone said pot does not have any nicotine or tar....i havent looked up anything about the nicotine but i know one marijuana joint has "about" the same amount of tar as 10 cigarettes but when you think if you only smoke 2 joints a day your no worse that smoking a pack of cigarettes.

why did you post additional info, you stole my answers
in addition I think that it is not illegal for many reasons a few are that it would be hard to tax. and I do believe that they make too muck money off it being illegal (yeah we both know that it goes straight back on the street after someone gets caught)
this can be a very complicated question/topic

to much of anything is a bad thing. People who drink to much (drunks) are gross. People that smoke to much (pot heads) are gross. When people go to a wedding or social gathering and have a few drinks and socialize usually its fine. when people share a joint and relax its fine. just like if u eat to much u will die, u drink to much u will die, or u take to much of that cough medacine u can die, etc., etc. The dangers of alcohol i think are ok, besides the whole driving thing, which by the way is getting much better. People that smoke pot tho often are involved in other drugs, they lie often, some steal, they deal it illegally, they are sneaky usually, usually dont do much besides smoke pot and maybe work or go to school.

I think alcoholism is a disease so yes that makes it worse. A lil pot won't kill you. Neither one are great for you but more lives seem to be affected negatively by drinking. People become more irrational which can lead to hurting themselves or others (drinking and driving, fights, etc). Smoking is all about one love. Not that I condone it. ;)
I think moderation is key.

I don't drink or smoke pot but I know the effects of both. I truly believe that pot should be legalized way before alcohol. The effects of drinking altar your mind far more than those of pot. I think they should both be legalized with certain limitations and age requirements but I stand to my believe that the after effects and consequences of alcohol are severely more damaging than that of marijuana.

I believe that use of either is bad. It shows a lack of restraint in the user if he/she uses either product on a regular basis. Do I drink, yes. Do I smoke pot, not any more. Which is worse? Only time can tell.

NO I think alchohol is worst, I have never been so high I passed out, or couldnt walk the worst Ive ever had was a horrible case of the munchies! But in the past Ive been so drunk I fell INTO the toilet bowl while puking, Ive did the whole "drunken exboyfriend calls!" AND worst - Ive been so drunk I peed myself (thank god is was just me and my girls chillen)

define "worse".
I think Pot's worst offense is that it causes people to be unmotivated and lazy. I've had friends who started doing it and have changed completely- its just a lack of motivation.
I would rather have somebody around who is gonna drink a little bit than a person always smoking pot, but thats just me..

Yes, its the way that we obtain and what people go through to get it. Is what makes it worse then alcohol. But alcohol does do bigger damage to person in a shorter period of time. My opinion though

NO, cuz it is not!!
now, i don't smoke pot, but i do drink, but i know alcohol is way worse. You can overdose on it, but not pot
Pot does not kill you directly, but alcohol does
that's why it seams so crazy to me that alcohol is legal and pot is not. It makes absolutley NO SENSE
but hey, i am not complaying
