Answer 3

Get some mdma. You wont worry about anything. Put it in your brothers beer and the n you will both be happy and no longer argue about rubbish drugs. MDMA is the only drug worth taking.

Answer 4

Here's the thing.  Weed can be just as dangerous as Alcohol.  If you smoke weed and drive, you are just as impaired.  That being said, have you ever seen an angry person who is high?  Not unless you steal their chips.  Weed and alcohol cause you not to care.  Most things in moderation are acceptable.  Alcohol in moderation and when done responsibly is ok.  Weed, when done in moderation and responsibly is ok, unless the police catch you.  I don't know if your talking about me being the "angry old guy".  I thought we had SN's for the sole purpose of addressing people.  So, no you don't see too many car accidents from people smoking weed, but you don't see too many car accidents when people are smoking crack either.  That is because, most people doing these drugs aren't going out to the bar and smoking weed.  And your arguement for you and your friends smoking weed and driving home safely is a weak arguement.  I have tons of friends who drive drunk and have never been in an accident or in a wreck.  That doesn't mean that they are good drunk drivers or that they should do it.  All it means is that they have been lucky enough not to wreck, and the more often you do it, statistically, something is going to happen.  From my limited experience with weed...I would never drive under the influence.  I have driven drunk, and i made it home.  I really shouldn't have driven and it was the last time i did.

Answer 5

weed is the better choice nuf said

Answer 6

You can die from weed, but it is rare because weed can hit you quite fast and you just won't be able to smoke by the time you're passing out.  Whereas alcohol takes a while to hit you so you could still be drinking even though you should be out cold.  Weed contains THC which is the chemical that acts on your brain cells to create the high feeling.  It interacts with the neurone synapses and alters things such as pain, reaction time, emotions, etc.  Weed does have other chemicals which are bad for you but they are in no way worse than a cigarette.  Alcohol damages brain cells, but so does weed.  Alcohol can become addictive and weed can too.  Depending how much it takes you to get high or drunk, it can be cheaper to do the opposite. Weed does not have side effects such as hangovers but it will kill your diet plan!  Weed falls under the anti-depressant category of drugs (makes you happy) whereas alcohol falls under the depressant drug category.  If you need any other information check this website out.

Answer 7

well, the fact that you are seeking knowledge shows maturity. a friend of mine was a regular drug user and she pointed me to erowid.org. she said she researched anything she wanted to try before she tried it. i'm not for drugs, but i respect her for being smart about it. hopefully this site helps you out.

Answer 8

yes, it is pretty much impossible to die from pot, unless laced.  you would have to smoke POUNDS a day.  it does have side effects tho.  first off, its smoke.  anytime you're inhaling anything thats lit its going to cause damage to your lungs/throat.  it can still cause cancer and other problems.  it is worse for you in that aspect than cigarettes because its not going thru a filter first.  

other than that, it can slow down your reaction time.  a lot.  so driving is not a good idea.  its funny because if you know anyone who smokes pot and then drives, usually they are going about 10 under the speedlimit and following that line as closely as possible because they feel like they are flying all over the road.  

it also tends to cause laziness.  people tend to flop down on the couch and eat.  which in turn is bad for your health.  fat and lazy and smoking...

it has also been known to raise heart rates.

but, on the other hand, before our "war on drugs" got out of hand, it was being tested for treating depression and anxiety.  it has been know to lessen the pain in glocoma and cancer paitents.  i personally use it as an antidepressant.  i have tired many different meds, all with horrible side effects.  since i started smoking pot about 7 years ago, i have had no need for medications.  yet, when i have stopped smoking (not by choice, just by lack of availability) i have had anxiety attacks that were pretty bad.  other than the anxiety/depression coming back, there arent any effects like withdralw that you would see with other drugs.  in fact many people say that you cannot even become addicted to weed (physically, but people with addiction problems can become mentally addicted to anything)

its good that you are doing your homework, lots of people just see it as a drug and assume its on the same level as something like heroin.  there are extream differences in drugs

just remember that alcohol was illegal for a while.......

Answer 9

"Safe" or not, it is illegal in most places.  That means that it can ruin your life even if it does not take your life.  Pot also stays in your system much longer (about 1 month) than alcohol.   I, however, would much rather ride with someone who is driving who has been smoking pot than someone who is drinking alcohol.  I do not do either one myself.  Remember that alcohol was once illegal, also and was legalized.

Answer 10

I have not read so much bullshit in all my life ! I have lost Friend,s too grass ! Grow up and Grow a brain ! It kills the brain and it kills you ! and it kills the family left behind !

Answer 11

weed is better because like everyone said it cant kill you and it doesnt make you violent like alcohol can.  you cant get addicted to it the way you can with heroin.  you can only get addicted to the feeling and crave it, but with no physical withdrawl symptoms.  similar to a person who overeats because they are addicted to the chemical rush they get when they eat.  even then, if you smoke a lot and quit, the only things you will notice are difficulty sleeping and some anxiety for a few days

Answer 12

Since time immemorial, people have striven to alter consciousness. And during that time, there has always been controversy over the activity. You are making a point about one method of doing this and it is well taken. There are other consequences to ingesting your toxin of choice that should also be considered. What is often ignored is the fact that almost all medicine is toxic and has consequences.

Answer 13

One's preference doesn't make the other one better... some people enjoy beer, while others enjoy margaritas or wine...but in the end is, weed is illegal...in most states of the U.S. and if you don't like the rules, you can move to Denver or ship out...no one needs to tell you alcohol is better than weed, if you enjoy smoking, you enjoy it, don't question yourself or even care about what others think... shrug it off and go on to the next subject.

Answer 14

i smoked weed for years and years, all i can tell you is it does become a habit that will make you miss out on many things in life. the thing with weed is that it seems so harmless, but you end up smoking everyday, and not having much motivation to do much besides sit around and play videos or watch TV. and just b/c you prefer weed doesn't mean you won't have other addictions like alcohol.

take my advice kid, don't spend too much of your time smoking weed, it will slowly eat away your life. i quit and have never felt better.
