When it comes to effects on your health, which is worse?

Alcohol is more damaging acutely, and if used too often, chronically. Unlike marijuana, alcohol binds to less abundant, more localized receptors in the brain (GABA). It's also possible to overdose on alcohol, while impossible to overdose on marijuana (unless you decide to inject pure THC just for the fun of it). In addition, alcohol can cause more widespread bodily damage to the liver, brain and kidneys. Marijuana MIGHT damage the lungs if smoked heavily and chronically. It could also acutely impair brain function... But unlike with alcohol, there's not really good evidence to support the theory that marijuana can cause permanent impairment of the brain.

The obvious answer is alcohol, but it's not that simple. Weed leaves mental problems, like your brain doesn't work as well as it used to. And weed often leads to hard drugs, like cocain and heroin and so on. So ... It's kinda the same shit. (Sorry, but it really is.)

Not 100% accurate. I'm fairly sure that my brain is working fine at the moment :P

I would have to say alcohol. Getting high from weed is generally relaxed, while getting drunk can be pretty wild. Drunk people tend to do very stupid things, which can be very dangerous. Alcohol can lead to liver damage, and other internal problems. Also, alcohol poisoning is a very serious matter which can lead to death - if you smoke too much marijuana you'll lay down and take a nap.

i agree with beans, alcohol can really mess you up, but weed just chills you out, i mean yea, if you smoke it too often, you can damage your lungs, but marijuana has ben proven not to cause cancer, and it makes you feel good, where as alcohol is a depresent

That's not even a fair comparison. If you want to be fair, do 10 "pots" of weed vs 10 bottles of beer. You're really going to tell me weed is worse?
And for anyone, can someone send a link to show that weed destroys your brain? Or causes death? Or anything besides being illegal to show it's worse than alcohol? Just wondering where people get this from.

I'm going to answer for them.
They get this from being very misinformed about the subject as a whole, but they think its true for the most part - when in reality it is very inaccurate and they continue to spread the misinformation.

But okay, back on topic.

I dont think this guy knows what pots are. I live in humboldt county and weed is alot more available than alchohol and we smoke every day. 2 of my friends have gotten alchohol poisoning and had to go to hospital and almost died but nobody has gotten any health issues from weed which we smoke as often as cigarettes. I like the feeling from alchohol alot more probably because i have less of a tolerance to it. Weed never gives u hangovers either just makes you sleepy as fuck which is good thing sometimes

Weed is amazing and it gives you some piff buzz trust. But alcahlol just makes you sick at the end of the night and you cant remember whats happened. I love both. But if I had to chose, I would choose weed to be the best, and alcahol the worst.

Both are bad, but it matters the quantities you take them in at once, and over a longer period of time.

I heard that if you smoke 10 kilo worth of weed you will be a dead man.
But weed can cause mental illnesses that might increase the chances of teen suicides. Weed isnt as innocent as it sounds, its fucked me up and my boyfriend compeltley, our lifes have changed and we are both a mess if we dont smoke. We both smoke the days away, day after day. Im not sure if alcahol is additcting fuck knows I cant rememberbut im sure they are both as bad as each other.

... Or if you drop 10 kilos from a height of 50 m on the subject's skull :D

Anyways, alcohol is about as addictive as heroin (the Perrine study, it's from some book if I recall), while cannabis is about as addictive as caffeine. Some studies put cannabis below caffeine (as well as bit more addictive than mushrooms/LSD) while caffeine is ranked about as addictive as cocaine (nasal

Alcohol has been proven to have more problems on your body than Marijuana, particularly the liver (or kidney?).

Alcohol is by far the worse of the two. That's why I am a light drinker.

Alcohol is far worse. Which makes me wonder why weed is illegal when alcohol isn't...

Well, I guess I know why, it's just so easy to make alcohol... I made alcohol with grape juice on accident once.
