Weed vs Alcohol...your thoughts?

Drinking is bad after your mid-20s.

Weed is a waste of time. But if you do a little to help you relax at night and ease into sleep, it's good. Makes you a little dull though.

All in all, if you cut out both of your life you will probably do better.

When you're high you don't really do much, you just kind of hangout and exist. When you're drunk you're overly confident, sometimes aggressive, and make a ton of bad decisions. And you can also drink enough to kill yourself with alcohol poisoning.

So alcohol is way more dangerous, and has worse side effects.

However, you can casually drink alcohol and not get drunk. Not sure if you can casually get a 'small' high, or what the point of that would even be. I genuinely like the taste of beer, and drink it in moderation.

Telling yourself it is okay to do these things is a bad habit itself.

I suggest to not indulge in either. Both will rot your brain and destroy your character.

I have always wondered whether the potheads I know would have amounted to something but for all the weed smoking or whether they were never going anywhere to begin with and weed just gives them some pleasure in what would otherwise be a fairly dismal life.

There is no contest between weed and alcohol. Alcohol is worse by a magnitude of 100. Drunk driving, domestic abuse, bar fights, addiction and just generally being bad for you even if you are in control of yourself when you drink.

The drinking attitude works if you’re in your early to mid 20s, but other than very occasionally, I don’t really desire to ‘party.’

Lighting up a joint with friends you’re hanging out with in a chill setting is a lot of fun, or even by yourself if you have an evening you want to spend to yourself and relax. Edibles too.

Pills, man.

Pills

Both are for the weak.

Hahahahaha. GTFO of here, bro.

I stopped drinking a few years ago and now vaporize cannabis flower twice a week. Not only have I dropped a lot of weight on account of cutting out the booze, but I'm also a much BETTER person. Cannabis centers me, gives me time to be reflective, etc. It has added to my character, not subtracted from it.

I've also read 14 books so far this year and read all of the time, so it definitely doesn't rot your brain, bro.

I used to drink a lot - and I stopped 20yrs ago in my mid-30s, which probably saved my life.

I smoked weed in my 20s, and I noticed it made me slow/stupid. However, I started vaping recently, and I can more easily modulate how high I get, and have no, "weed hangover" side effects. This is probably due to not combusting everything in the bud.

When you are HAF, (in your 50s) you are perhaps more aware that you shouldn't be driving, or even walking around. When you are drunk, over-confidence is a common side-effect.

Weed for the win, easily.

I finally just straight up stopped drinking.

Thinking about it, it is absolutely ridiculous that drinking is promoted so much in society.

3 reasons to drink, and the reality:

1. Social - so you need a substance to socialize? No.

2. Buzz - buzz is fine at 1-3 drinks. After it is just a stupified

3. Taste - Heineken 0.0 just came out and it is fantastic. I have one of those after a good run or gym sesh.

I guess I’m not normal but I don’t sit around when I’m high. I actually am full of energy and am more prone to getting things done.

Alcohol is my crutch though. It’s what relaxes me and takes a load off at 7:30pm after a long day. Weed hasn’t ever done that for me.

I can drink without getting drunk and I and my clothes don’t smell like a skunk afterwards. I’ve never smoked so I have no idea what it’s effect on me would be. But a a couple fingers of bourbon after work gets me feeling right.

Common wisdom will tell you alcohol is worse, which is probably the case but there are some things to note about this statement. There is more evidence that alcohol causes more damage than marijuana partially because studying marijuana use is far more difficult. Marijuana use is less common, and illegal in most countries, including Canada, where it hasn’t been legal long enough to do proper long term studies. I guess that if you use either of these two, you need to get the best quality available.

Neither. Successful productive people prefer stimulants.

Seriously though, I’ve yet to meet someone who smokes a good amount of pot whose life and accomplishments I would want to have. Alcohol in large amounts isn’t good either. Maybe I’m old no-fun guy but I drink until I’m relaxed then stop. Usually that’s 1-2 drinks. Don’t like being drunk or hungover
