Alcohol Vs. Weed: what's the difference ?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Drinking alcohol and smoking weed are two completely different things. There are pros and cons to both, and which is better depends on who you're talking to. Personally I'd rather be high any day, and I choose not to drink alcohol because I don't enjoy it. It pretty much breaks down like this:

Alcohol- Is a poison. It will destroy your body over time. When you drink alot of it (depending on who you are) you get drunk...which means that you'll likely become aggressive and potentially violent, you won't remember things, will probably vomit, likely do something regrettable like having sex with someone you wouldn't bone on a normal day, and you'll get a hangover. A hangover depending on how severe and how old you are, can take a couple of days to completely recover from. Alcohol consumption will also dehydrate you. If you consume too much alcohol, you can die of alchol poisoning. If you consume alcohol and drive, you can cause an accident. Grog takes a little while to feel the effects of and generally is more sociable to do. It's legally sold (I don't know why poison is legal but weed isn't) so it's easily accesible. You can party with alcohol and rage all night.

Weed- Is not nearly as bad as most people think it is. It hasn't been proved that marijuana use actually destroys brain cells...on the contrary, it HAS been proved that marijuana stimulates brain cells. This is evident in the fact that a huge number of musicians, writers and artists smoke pot. It doesn't impair your memory...this is a myth. It is only damaging on your lungs IF it has either been spun with tobacco, or grown with radioactive fertiliser...like tobacco. Marijuana cannot kill you. There are zero known marijuana related deaths world wide. There are also zero known crimes of violence caused by marijuana use. Pot smoking is less social because it's not accepted...because it is illegal, it's harder to get, can be more expensive to buy and people generally don't let people know that they do it. That said, I've made hundreds of friends through being a pot smoker. When you have a toke, the effects are more immediate. For someone who does not use regularly, the experience will mean feeling 'high'...happy, giggly, comfortable. You can still function (drive, walk straight, do normal every day things) and your memory stays in tact (for the most part...) You definitely won't be stabbing anyone or robbing a bank while high...you'll feel loving and then you'll get hungry, and good will tast 100% better while your metabolism is boosted. After you eat you get sleepy, so you sleep and when you wake up there's no hang over or after effects.

A stoned person won't be as loud and hard to control as a drunk person. A stoned person will not be violent, aggressive or malicious, nor will they be easily provoked as is the case with a drunk person. A stoned person won't go home and bash their wife and kids, while someone who did go home and bash their wife and kids was probably drunk (as well as nuts.) Stoners can drive just fine, drunks will cause an accident. A drunk will sit in the gutter crying and vomitting, a stoner will find their way to the local take-out joint and smile merrily to themself. A drunk will wake up the next day not knowing what happened and feeling like death, a stoner will wake up the next day feeling fine and remembering what they did that night.

When I've been drunk it was more like I was sloppy and stammering around dizzy talkin **** falling down, then I kinda passed out and woke up with a headache. With marijuana it was more like experiences were intensified, I was listening to music and it was like the best thing ever, then I was hungry and the food was delicious. I kinda felt like I was floating, everything was funny and then I went to sleep. I'd suggest not getting high and drunk at the same time...that really messed me up.

Alcohol, for me, makes me loose control of what i'm doing and makes me look stupid.
Weed, however, I can control everything I do but it makes me think about things more. It makes me be more observant and think things through in a different way. It really made me look at things in a different perspective.
It does depend on the person though.

weed is fun.
alcohol makes you sick after.
they both make you do dumb stuff.
alcohol tastes bad, and smells bad.
weed smells pretty good (i know) and it can taste good? (brownies)

alcohol is ---
i like weed its funner to, makes you feel all happy and stuff.
alcohol makes me wanna sleep and jump off a mountain.

First, they're not both depressants. Weed speeds up your heart rate while alcohol slows it. They are not anything like the same in my opinion. When high you'll just think about things and laugh usually with out as much physical buzz. Being drunk is much more physical with you stumbling and seeing the spins and being outgoing and confident. They're both fun but just different.

The difference is marijuana is illegal and alcohol is legal. thats about the only thing that should be important

the price is different
