Disclaimer: I've never used the evil weed.
From a medical standpoint, I'm certainly willing to consider the concept that weed might less harmful than more socially acceptable and legal substances like booze and tobacco. But it just seems like inhaling smoke--any smoke--is just plain bad for your lungs. Am I wrong? |

Compulsive, addictive behavior over any substance is a Bad Thing.
Alcohol can be a very good thing. In moderation, as part of life's passages and enjoyment. Marijuana, when partaken excessively, is surely not good for you. Acid---um, what can I saw about acid? . . . I forget.  That being said--- it's always 4:20 somewhere!

Booze is worse.

Alcohol probably kills more people than anything...in one way or another. But in comes in better flavors than pot.

Booz is of course the worst thing for u weed can do a lot of good things for u, but the government wont let people do full studies on it so how will the general pop know. All u know now is that it is very helpful for people going through medical conditions and thats it, but i think that it can do a lot more than that. Also it dont slow ur reaction time down that much i would knw

are you crazy??? if the amount of people that drink beer smoked pot, and did it in the same amounts, the world would spiral down into a gutter. neither is good in large quantities but the day marijuana is legalised in australia will be the day i lose all faith in its people.
people smoke weed and think amazing things are happening to them, people drinks alcohol and know that its a bad thing. a society can function with booze but not pot. i've had my good time on pot and other drugs. but the only one that i felt had the least evil sense to it was alcohol. nicotine was the worst. make that illegal.

Definitely alcohol.
From my own personal experience, by observation of people I know and from the facts. I will offer one supporting example - I have known some lazy stoners in my time who decided one day to stop/ seriously cut back on their habit and change their lives. I have not known anyone whose life was as dependent on alcohol capable of doing that. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm just suggesting it's harder to come back from a serious drinking habit.
