Alcohol vs marijuana

[jerrybob]

Although marijuana is legal in our state........I don't use the stuff. I do have a beer, whiskey or glass of wine on occasion and have for many years. Seems that marijuana might be a healthier choice????

Alcohol and marijuana have very different health effects — here's which is worse, according to science

I wouldn't really call it a healthy choice but may be the lesser of two evils.

Both have been said to help with certain conditions but I've seen no evidence either is good for the general population. I've also known people that used one or both and the only one's that suffered as the result were those that abused them. IMO,if one or both can serve to make life better for a person,I'm for them.

Every employer I’ve work for has dispensed performance enhancing drugs (for free) in order to stimulate their employees to work faster.
The harmful effects are usually ignored for the sake of production. Effects include:
insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, an upset stomach, a fast heartbeat and even muscle tremors.
Most of the employees consume these stimulates at work because they’re free versus paying the dealer on the corner (Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc..)
Personally I stay away from the stuff as much as possible. “It’s a gateway drug!” ( 98% of all cocaine addicts tried coffee first).

Drug is a drug, just comes down to what is illegal, what isn't, and who exactly is making the "approved" money on selling said drug.

It's neither alcohol or weed that I'm scared of (as long as it's done in moderation by those who use it for whatever their reason), it's the food we're being given that scares me.

", according to science" they say. How many times have we heard that in just one lifetime, that something is scientifically deemed good for us, only to find out a few years down the road that there is little to no real benefit. Sorry, but I can't help but to think there is an agenda behind studies like this. Follow the money, and I'd be willing to bet there would be no surprises at who commissioned and/or funded these studies.

If every one that drinks Alcohol now quit and smoked weed instead, society would be better off.

No more drunken bar fights, no more DUI, no more Alcohol related domestic violence, no more drunk tank. No more college kids dieing from alcohol overdose.

Plus the sale of snack food would go up.

Cocaine is the best. So I was told

Here's the difference finally explained. Much of the alcohol consumed daily is beer and wine, served in restaurants and grocery stores, and without drinking to excess. A vast majority of those who have a drink or two during dinner or even lunch don't consume those drinks with the intent of getting "a buzz on", they simply enjoy how those drinks compliment the food and the social setting. However when one uses drugs the whole intent is to"get a buzz on", there lies the problem and the difference, alcohol is a beverage and 99.9% is consumed as such, pot is a drug and taken to get a high and should never be compared to adult beverages. Claiming thy are the same is an excuse to"get high" and addicted to "getting a buzz on" with ever increasing dangerous drugs.
