Weed Addiction or Booze Dependance. Which is Worse?

[MMP]

My belief is that a weed addict is generally more functional than a person that drinks to some level of inebriation daily. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good drink and have a well known affection for quality IPAs; but give me a stoner over a drunk any day.

You?

[Buster Highmen]

Booze kills. Ask me how I know.

[iceman]

Apparently I'm much more tolerable on the weed-only program. So there's that.

Booze is far more likely to fuck up your life if you live in a state where marijuana is legal (health concerns, DUI, etc). If you live in a state where possession of a joint is viewed in the same light as selling fentanyl laced heroin to middle schoolers, then it's more of a toss up.

Possession charges for less than 3.5g and/or dirty paraphernalia have royally fucked a couple of my friends over, and will likely limit their income potential for the rest of their lives.

Chronic use of the chronic is probably more sustainable in the sense that it's less likely to kill you either directly or indirectly than alcohol. The key with both seems to be moderation.

Thus far, the ~1g of herb and 1-2 beers per day program has been working for me. YMMV

Booze 100%

Fuck drink drivers. Lost a lot of good people to it just in my hometown.

Neither is worse, or better.

The addiction is in the personality, and it manifests itself in different, destructive ways. Booze, pot, high risk sex and other behaviors, etc.

[CarlMega]

There is no meaningful comparison between substances when one is physically addictive and the other is not.

[Hott Butt Mud]

Booze is way worse.

Stupid thread.

[iceman]

Well now it is.

I agree, but I also think that alcohol has a much higher risk quotient. Any addictive behavior can be destructive, but not all addictive behaviors are inherently fatal on their own. Liver cirrhosis and alcohol poisoning is.

[SkiBall]

I tried to get addicted to high risk sex and failed miserably.

I practice a lot by myself.

[XXX-er]

I would say Booze has killed way more people than pot

and besides all those stoners have to do is remember to breathe

MJ is now legal everwhere in Canada and its a huge non-issue eh

Lefty. Dry. Pace yourself!

Regarding the addiction manifesting itself destructively but differently, that sounds right, I just find drunk behavior annoying unless it’s me or we’re together. I imagine sober folks laugh about what they see and hear around drinking people.

A 1/4 oz a week seems like....a lot. An oz a month?

And I am certainly no Puritan.

Could easily drift into a private prisons have to be kept full discussion. Jail for weed or paraphernalia, pathetic.

As a matter of fact, yes. It’s fun watching the progression but it gets old quick usually.

[XXX-er]

maybe a fuckup is a fuckup ?

a fuckup can fuckup by doing too much of anything

I was 100% sober to run door & sell drink tickets at newyears ... that was entertaining

This. All things in moderation. But if you have to lean towards one or the other, Herb is the way to go. Especially after a beer or two

[XXX-er]

Including moderation

Stupid thread.

100%

[k2skier112]

Alcohol is a toxin
Marijuana is not
/end thread

[Game Over]

Well everything is a potential toxin at the right dose....

But for once I agree with K2

[schindlerpiste]

too Much booze sucks and definitely has detrimental effects, while one can never get enough of the tasty bud

[Game Over]

Well I’ve known of several hardcore stoners go off the deepend skitzo like....
