Harmful effects of Alcohol Vs. Cannabis?

When they do these studies compairing cannabis to cigaretts it doesn't really tell me anything. I am a non-smoker. I would like to see them compare alcohol and cannabis. I think the findings would be shocking. Alcohol is much worse for individuals and society in general. Agree?

yes. i agree.
alcohol kills people every year, its more addicting, your more prone to car accidents when driving drunk, and if you drink to much you can get alcohol posioning. Marijuana is grown from the ground, it isnt a poision like alcohol is. A high person drives slow and tries to prevent car crashes unlike a drunk person, and you cant die from smoking to much, and a high person makes better decisions then a drunk person. I'm more likely to have sex and get pregant if i was drunk then if i were high. Becuase if i was high i would have more common since and i would know not to have sex or allow my self to be raped. And pot relaxes people. It helps them to think out side the box and be thankful for what they have. If marijuana were to be legalized then there would be less alcoholics, and the government would make soo much money. And marijuana isnt a gate way drug. It just seams like it is becuase when you buy marijuana, you can also get things like heroin, or cocaine. But if you were to go to Burger King, you can buy fries and a hamburger, but no one is making you get both. If you want just the pot, then thats it. No one is making you buy those other drugs. And if the government were to legalize marijuana, worse drugs would be used less.

Completely agree. I would rather have 1,000 stoned drivers over 1 drunk driver (though I would rather the 1,000 stoners to be at home!).
I would bet the world alcohol has ruined many, many times more lives than cannabis.

agree.... no one has ever overdosed on cannabis. I'm sure alcohol has much worse health effects for an individual. But both are huge probelms for society because of the way people act while under the influence.

No in all reality they are both equally as bad. They both kill brain cells, marijuana has the same damage as tobacco cigarettes, but even worse because it has more tar. Even though cigarettes have 5000 chemicals blah blah, most of those chemicals are in the food we eat too, its the tar that gives you throat and lung cancer. Alcohol can damage your liver and give you mouth cancer. The beauty of it though is that if you use them moderately like once a week nothing will happen. Remember everything in moderation. If you ever smoke weed, you, like most people will give it up when ever you get your first actual job, due to drug tests.

It wouldn't matter what the study said people would still accept alcohol and not marijuana because that is our society.

both are dangerous if you are behind the wheel of any vehicle. taken in excess both are dangerous to the person. Alcohol can be healthy if taken in moderate amounts, wine and beer especially being good for the blood. Marijuana taken moderately can be good for helping some problems like muscle cramps, nausea from chemo and glaucoma and in small amounts, even lowers blood pressure. But excess alcohol can affect every organ of the body and eventually do permanent damage. Excess marijuana can be as addicting as alcohol and can damage the lungs and the brain and possibly affect the stomach and intestines. Both are mind-altering drugs and affect judgement and reaction time while making the user think they can handle driving. No difference between the two as far as driving. Both are dangerous on the road. One last bit.... as I'm sure both you geniuses know, marijuana stays in the body longer than alcohol. So if you are driving and in an accident and taken to the hospital where they have to draw blood, you can get a DWI if marijuana shows up even if you haven't used it that day or the day before or whenever. Hope I don't see either of you on the road!
