it all depends on the person. from my own perspective, weed is worse than alcohol by a long shot. of course, my opinion is biased due to the reaction i get from bud. terrible trips.. ugh.. definately bad times.

plus, anyone who says weed is healthier than alcohol hasn't done their homework. well, actually, it depends on which part of your body you want to damage. yes, alcohol does kill brain cells and yes it does damage to your liver. however, weed has a large amount of tabacco in it, which still coats the shit out of your lungs. i believe there's nicotine in bud also... i forgot the exact numbers/statistics, but smoking one joint, or one bowl, or however you do it, is equivalent to several cigarettes. i can't say that bud fucks with the chemicals in your mind to cause permanent damage, because from what i've read, it doesn't. only downside is the damage to your lungs. so what's healthier? it's a matter of opinion. besides, bud is a stimulant. raises blood pressure, heart rate.. sometimes by up to 50%. your heart only has a certain amount of times it's going to beat in your lifetime.. :P

alcohol is a depressant, no that doesn't mean it makes you depressed (i hear that a lot <_<) it means it slows down your system. no risk of heartattack, etc etc

i dunno, from experience i just happen to like alcohol much better than bud anyway

this is similar to what I've been saying all along .....but potheads always deny the facts....speak to an alcoholic and they no they've got a problem 100% .......alcohol addiction is different from drug addiction. Drug addiction causes denial...due to chemical inbalance in the brain....these chemicals arnt increased or present during alcohol abuse, so the symptoms are different.
