which to u guys think is more dangerous, i'd have to say alcohol because it ruins so many lives each year. i think pot is way safer, there has never been anyone overdose from pot. most people that are high on pot don't have the motivation to go drive or anything, they just wanna sit down and relax.
Achohal is more dangerous, but i'd like to try both. Marijuana is about as safe as you can get as far as something that will affect you.
I typed up the most kick-ass response to this. It was well planned, eloquent, detailed and made me seem uncharacteristically intelligent and informed. I was fairly stoned after completing my evening time-wasting-extravaganza. Naturally, I went to eat, got distracted and ended up falling asleep. During which time the computer was prematurely shut off by my electricity-conserving Nazi of a father. My masterpiece floated off into the mass grave of cyberspace mishaps. Anyway, this story sums up my views on one of the greatest debates in history- Pot vs. Booze. Marijuana causes laziness, a tendency to forget about earthshateringly (it's a word now damnit) well-done forum posts, and a propensity towards eating all the Doritos. Then, I considered the same night had I been drunk. I undoubtedly would have fucked up in the process of posting, just as I did while stoned, except there would have been no masterpiece to lose. If I had the mental/motor functioning to operate the computer, the attempt at a reply would have read on something like this "weell i likje two drank cccuzz..........buut geewtin bllazed is reeel funy 2". There's no way I could have attended an entire year of high school drunk every morning, the way I smoked up ninth grade. And memory? I once dated a fellow for a week, then one day I called him and he had no idea he asked me out. Alcohol, my friends, it can erase entire days from your memory if used properly (or improperly, depending on your perspective..) Let me tell you pot has made me forget about plenty of math assignments and trains of thought, but never has it caused me to forget I had a girlfriend. Unless I'm unwittingly dating two chicks, which I am not nearly hot enough to do. What about laziness, you ask? Alcohol does worse than make you lazy, it allows you to have enough energy to be totally obnoxious for a few hours yet too chemically inconvenienced, sobriety challenged, inebrieated, or if you prefer retardified to actually be productive. Then you pass out, and the real fun can begin, at least for those who are still awake and in possesion of shaving cream. Unlike our good old mj which, to many, actually increases creative drive and ability. Even if you're a lazy stoner like myself, a red-eyed giggling lump on the couch is much nicer to deal with than a stumbling, puking, mass of stupidity breaking all your shit while trying to lick your "dead sexy" cat Pussykins... as your mother watches in horor from the kitchen. Then there's the obvious fact that marijuana isn't as harmful physically, especially if you're comparing large amounts of alcohol like I tend to drink. In fact smoking weed makes me feel better physically if anything, relieves rid of nausea, headaches, and my grandmother's "glaucoma". Said nausea and headaches are usually caused by alcohol. 'Nough said. I had a whole bunch of other points about how the lifestyle associated with heavy weed smoking is much less harmful than heavy drinking. Instead I will type this- Basically I said that at worst, heavy weed smoking leads to the memory of a goldfish, long-term employment at Pizza Hut (no offense to anyone associated with the pizza delivery industry, I love you all), living in mom's basement, excessive use of the words "man" "dude" and/or "uh...", and being really fucking happy with your own mediocrity. While heavy drinking leads to totalled cars, waking up in crack houses two states away, losing your virginity behind one of those moon walk things, pissing people off, sleeping in your own puke.... OH YEAH and the whole DYING thing might be a bit of a drag..... That being said, I really love me some alcohol. It just depends on the situation and amount in which you use each substance. Booze is best for getting losened up and partying your ass off, while pot is (or could reasonably be) more of an everyday, anytime thing. Moderation is the key to both unless you are me. In which case you find it completely impossible, not to mention boring to avoid making an ass of yourself at every possible opportunity. To be completely honest I'm getting bored with both. The novelty has long worn off, and I'm just not getting stoned like I used to... very sad. Yes, I know you'll tell me to take a break from partying for a while, lower my tolerence all that jazz. Been there done that, but I'd really prefer to just get a hold of some pills or caps or something. Hold my interest for a while. And I would if I wasn't a poor little white girl whose best connection just got locked up. Ok wow... Time for the COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT TO THE THREAD ALERT. I will now shut up.
Well holy shit. One post and a failed attempt later, Katie realizes that she isn't actually answering the question. Slow clap. Oh well, read the above in it's entirety if you love me. I put a surprising amount of effort into the whole thinking and typing thing.
