Pot is safer...RECOGNIZE! Please keep in mind when interpreting toxicology results that testing positive for THC (Marijuana) does not indicate Intoxication! I'd rather have my kids smokin' pot than drinking any day of the week. What a joke! Pot is safer…RECOGNIZE!

Alcohol (addictive) legal Marijuana (non-addictive) illegal
Pills (addictive) legal Tobacco (non-addictive) legal
Ciggerettes (addictive) legal LSD (non-addictive) illegal
Heroin (addictive) illegal
Cocaine (addictive) illegal

it seems as though the government has sort of made what THEY WANT to be illegal and legal, for their benefit, thats not really fair, i mean the government shouldnt have say in what people put in their bodies either, i say decriminalize all drugs, not legalize them but decriminalize all drugs for everyone 18+

Ok, here is the story of someone whos been drinking...bob goes out for the night, bob drinks, bob gets drunk, bob comes down, and bob comes home unscaved...once again, whats the harm! Now, whats the difference here? the first story is illegal, and the second is legal..now i dont entirely get that. Personally i believe that the government shouldnt have a say what we put in our body. Plus the second story, is FAR worse..alcohol is addicting!!!! Now, whats the harm in smoking weed everyday, granted you probably will lose your motivation, but you might not! I just find it ridiculous how people say that drinking is fine, but smoking weed, is a felony, horrible for your health, and WRONG...noww thats where they are wrong, in california i believe that quite a few of the counties allow medicinal marijuana, it has chemicals in it which in fact fight cancer, it slows down the symptoms, and whats so wrong about a non-addictive herb which millions of people around the world smoke? Think about the facts people. Marijuana is beneficial to A. the government. B. people with certain illness's and C. ME, cause i fricken love love love it!!!!

It might not have any significant affect on the brain but I can tell you from first hand experience that smoking pot on a regular basis kills motivation. That laid back nature gets people stuck in a literal rut. Its hard to prove but if you think about everyone who smokes marijuana regularly that it is clear that there is a signficant motivational drop. Marijuana kills motivation.

As for which is more popular, in my area everyone drinks and smokes so we party together, so I really couldnt say. I prefer pot because i get sick when i drink to much, you can smoke all u want and wont get sick.

I dont why i could just sit down and do it but im a naturally hyper person i guess it just chilled me down and i wasnt easily destracted. But i agree that it is way way easier to get pot than alchohal and i believe thats probably why ive never been drunk Oh yeah i also want to mention that when i smoked i actually did better in school and could actually sit down and do my homework when i was high.

I used to smoke, ALOT(weed not tabacco). Every once in awhile I get sad or depressed or I just wanna have fun so I light up. But when i smoked alot I was talking to a friend who was talking about how he drinks and we were talking near his dad and even his dad knows he drinks but I was talking about why i like to smoke rather than drink and when my friends father heard he flipped out and steamed up and started to yell at me about how smoking can kill you and damage your body. I thaught that he was just a naturally a ''cool'' dad that didnt care unless i wouldnt have said anything but after the discussion he called my parents and told them about my ''situation'' and made a big deal of it. But I was just wondering if any parents would tell me why a parent would be fine with heavy drinking but be strongly opposed to smoking. Im a teen. I used to smoke, ALOT(weed not tabacco).
