Marijuana vs. Alcohol? Which Is Healthier?

Question by Sim V: Marijuana vs. Alcohol? Which is healthier?
Well I am about 99% sure I have the right answer to this question, and it’s that marijuana is much safer and healthier for your body, everything except the lungs, but that can be fixed since marijuana can be cooked into food and eaten instead of smoked. This method does not affect the lungs at all. I’d like to see any studies, or research, or any legitimate website that says that alcohol is healthier than marijuana. Every website I go on says that marijuana is healthier, or it does not specify which is healthier and just says bot are bad. I want to see any proof from someone who thinks alcohol is healthier. Here are some sources that I used: http://www.lycaeum.org/paranoia/marijuana/facts/mj.alcohol.toxicology
http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/#More_Information
Here’s a whole page of different studies about marijuana: http://www.lycaeum.org/paranoia/marijuana/facts/
Now here’s a study disproving the popular myth of marijuana killing brain cells: http://www.lycaeum.org/paranoia/marijuana/facts/pots.tab
Then there is also common sense. There is no overdose on marijuana, there is on alcohol. There is not one documented death as a direct result of marijuana, there are many from alcohol, not including accidents or murders. Pot smokers or “pot heads” are generally less violent and angry than people who use alcohol or alcoholics. I’ve never heard of a rape case where someone was high, or a child abuse case where someone was high, now what about when someone was drunk? Countless cases. Also how many idiotic things can someone do when they get so drunk that they blackout? Quite a lot. Alcohol is also way more addictive, and you can die from withdrawal, you can’t die from withdrawal from marijuana. A good quote just kind of sums it all up: “God made pot, man made beer, who do you trust?” It’s funny to me how someone can try to argue that alcohol is healthier than marijuana when alcohol is actually classified as a hard drug such as PCP, heroine, crack, and cocaine. Hope some people that read this got more informed about MJ. I myself used to say well it’s all right to have a few drinks but marijuana is a “drug”, but when I heard marijuana is healthier I decided to do some research of my own, and this is the conclusion I have come to. So anybody want to argue? Make sure you look through the links before you start saying stuff.
Illegal and legal? Tell me something smart guy has the law always been right? Yeah, you are right I don’t give a sh*t that it’s illegal, but I’m not looking for a job, and if I was I could purchase a detox kit, taking the THC out of my hair since it includes a shampoo, and out of my urine, blood, and saliva. The best detox works within an hour, the best hair shampoo form of detox works in like five. Also, it’s addicting? That is a load of sh*t, because I smoked 3 and a half months straight daily, now I haven’t in 3 weeks, and I can’t say I was at all addicted, and am not feeling any withdrawal symptoms. Also I’m not looking for your opinion or your so called “common sense”, give me some credible studies like I gave, then you can say all you want. Also I wouldn’t say I’m a druggie, since I don’t rely on weed, I don’t need it, and in my opinion it’s not a drug. Warped my mind? In what way? Because I’m interested in whether an illegal substance that all credible studies have proven to be

YOU are comparing apples with oranges. It’s dependent on how much you use. If you use the same amount of pot as alcohol, ounce per ounce pot is worse. It’s actually wrong that pot head is less violent. There is a strong correlation between pot and psychological disorder. not everyone react the same with pot. Just because it mellows you, doesn’t mean it mellows everyone. In certain ways Pot is far more damaging to the brain. THis comes from lancet, Britsh medical journal.
