why marijuana is better for you than alcohal
Alcohol is a poison.
Marijuana is not.
Alcohol can make you sick.
Sick people use marijuana to make them feel better.
Alcohol can significantly damage the digestive system, especially the stomach and liver.
Smoking marijuana has never been shown to do significant damage to any organ, even the lungs, does not cause cancer, and when eaten does not cause any damage at all to the human body.
Alcohol can be physically addictive with significant withrawal symptoms as severe as the frightening delerium tremens.
Marijuana has never been shown to be more than psychologically addictive and cessation of use has never caused anything more than the stress that it was probably being used to treat anyway.
etc., etc. etc.

why marijuana is better for you than alcohal
point 1: cannabis IS a poision
point 2: never heard of a whitey?
point 3: cannabis lowers the immune system, making it easier to pick up all sorts of viruses. it can massivly damage the lungs, i know this for a fact, it litterly strips the lungs of the cila, and this can lead to emphysema after only 6 or 7 years of heavy smoking. that makes it about 3 or 4 times worse for the lungs as tabbaco. even if you consider that an average ciggy smoker smokes 20 aday and doesnt get emphysema, youve got to remember that drawin on a cig is far easier on the lungs than rippin a bong as fast as you can. also weed, if its used for long enough by an unhealthy person, can damage your heart, dont belive me, check yer pulse rate 5 mins after a big bong hit.
point 4: although there is know way that weed is anywhere as physically addicative as alcohol, any heavy smoke who has to stop smoking will get some mild physical withdrawl problems, such as innsomnia and poor appertite.
dont get me wrong guys, i love weed and hate alcohol for what it did to my mums pancreas, but it makes me laugh when people beleave with a passion that weed is so harmless

Alcohol is much worse for you then Marijuana, nobody is saying marijuana is HARMLESS but honestly..If you were to take both in moderation alcohol would still be worse for you.
Smoking weed isn't going to be any worse then eating mcdonalds, watching too much tv, or not excercising frequently.Just Cause You Feel it Doesn\'t Mean It\'s There
If the words \"life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness\" don\'t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn\'t worth the hemp it was written on.

why marijuana is better for you than alcohal
I am rather sick of people touting the dangers of marijuana smoke.
1) Even if "per hit" it's worse for you than cigarettes, no one smokes twenty joints a day. As far as I know, there are no well-documented cases of anyone developing lung cancer *solely* from using cannabis.
2) No one is screaming here about criminalizing cigarrette usage, so the marijuana smoke is really a non-issue.
3) You don't have to smoke it! I only vaporize and eat it these days.
Honestly, I've been using cannabis almost every day for a long time, and the only negative side effects I've noticed are
1) I went from 120 to 145 pounds. As I was considered anorexic for my height, this is actually a benefit. Marijuana has stimulated my appetite, leading me to eat healthier amounts of food.
2) When I don't smoke one evening, I tend to get stressed or depressed. Of course, this is one of the reasons I smoke daily anyway, to relieve stress and depression that were already there.
3) When I get completely fucking blazed, I feel a little fuzzy-headed the next morning.
Now, here's what happens when I drink:
1) I lose my inhibitions and act irresponsibly.
2) I vomit for hours.
3) I have a terrible migraine the whole of the next day.
Granted, a lot of stoners smoke every single day, multiple times, and this is not particularly healthy--but there are people who drink several times a day, and they tend to develop serious behavioral problems and die an early death (which does not happen to stoners).
There is NO WAY weed is worse for you than alcohol. Absolutely no way.

Point 2 : A "Whitey" is not a serious illness. Ever seen someone puking blood while emptying their stomachs from smoking weed?
Point 3 : Go to that website in my Point 1, and then go here.
Here's a quote on the subject, from that site.
Some research suggests that marijuana has no significant effectâ??good or badâ??on the immune system of people living with HIV. Studies from the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study evaluating outcomes in 1,662 HIV-positive users of psychoactive drugs (marijuana, cocaine, LSD, etc.) found that none of the drugs were linked to a higher rate of HIV disease progression or loss of CD4+ cell counts. Of the men who took part in the study, 89% reported using marijuana in the preceding two years. A recent study, presented in 2000, examined the short-term impact of marijuana, dronabinol or placebo on HIV levels, CD4+ cell count and HIV levels. After twenty-one days, the use of marijuana did not appear to have harmful affects. Much longer-term studies are needed before concluding that marijuana use is either safe or unsafe for people living with HIV, however.
and another ...
Itâ??s not at all clear that this kind of weight gain, that consists more of body fat than of lean muscle, will benefit the overall health and longevity of a person with HIV-related wasting. However, if medical marijuana is combined with a comprehensive nutritional and weight maintenance program, as well as exercise, it may prove useful. Because of these concerns, it is important that evaluating the medical effects of marijuana not be limited to measuring weight gain, as this may lead to false conclusions about its value.
When considering all the safety factors associated with marijuana use, itâ??s important to weigh these factors against the harm being done by wasting. What may sound harmful to a healthy person may seem irrelevant to another when compared to the alternatives they face.
Point 4 : In certain cases, I'm sure it can be psychologically addictive to certain people; but to the general populace, it is not nearly as addictive as is alcohol, nor as dangerous.
