Weed V Alcohol

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

Well it's a heated topic, one which we were debating over in the personal issues thread (didn't really belong there)

I want to know if you prefer alcohol or mary jane. Those of you who do not drink or smoke or only do one of the two, why is this? Are you health concious?

I know there is a "free the weed" thread around here somewhere, but I would like to see peoples opinions on the differance between alochol and weed.

Thanks.

Given the choice, I would prefer weed. However, the hassle of aquiring a dealer isn't worth it, imo, so I just stick to alcohol. Not that I drink that much anyway.

All I know is, the two together means great misery the next day...

Well what if you were to get it legally, become a "drug tourist" go to amsterdam and smoke a few joints? I don't know what a dealer looks like. I would rather have a smoke than a drink. I went out lastnight, got drunk and today I am in a pretty bad way, not able to do much, eat and just tired as hell. Last week I was stoned, got up the next day and lived my life. Not a bother on me...

Then I would smoke it more often than I do now, which is pretty much never. I haven't gone to Amsterdam (yet) because I just haven't gotten round to it, I will eventually I would imagine.

Weed's good once in a while, find if ya do it regularly it becomes sh*t, though difficult not to smoke if you have any on ya.

Since going to college I've just been drinking because no one really does it here. Alcohol's more fun for going out and hanging out with new people.

Actually this one says it all:

Do people really find this? I can hardly remember the last time I went out to a pub/club and didn't have a cheeky spliff in the smoking area.

it takes a lot of love and nuturing, and a lot of sleepless nights, but eventually, after much perseverence, the two can live in perfect harmony.

weed by a mile had me in absolute tatters last night and no hangover at all today AND i loved every minute of it

if i was in the same state with alcohol id be puking falling over etc etc and id be in bits today

The_B_Man

I pick drink.

I absolutely hate smoking. i live with 5 smokers and I'm the only person on my street who doesnt smoke. My throat does be in bits. Hash is the same. Nicer smell, but still something I dont like. I wouldnt smoke it for the same reason I dont smoke cigarettes. Actually, and also coz having one legalised drug with bad effects is enough, let alone 3!

That'd be the tobacco then.

Drink. By miles. Used to a fair bit of weed, particularly last year but I haven't done it in ages for the simple reason that I way prefer alcohol. If you have a spliff or two it's a good buzz an' all but it makes you lazy as **** and therefore not in the mood for drinking. And that doesn't sit well with me. Drink all the way.

Overheal

Well, with a vaporiser the weed becomes the healthier option, but to be honest Ive just fallen out of love with it. alcohol just affects my judgement and my motor co-ordination, not my ability to keep a straight train of thought: when i used to get stoned my brain would go off in 12 different directions until the only thing I could do was lay down and wait for it to be over. Alcohol is the clear winner.

I suppose we all have differant experiences of them both. I know personally I become useless when I drink, yet I can actually do stuff when I am stoned.

When on the internet:

Drink = strange porn...

Weed = stand up comedians...


While working:

Drink = a lot of mistakes and very very sloppy...

Weed = wouldn't make so many mistakes and I can actually work somewhat...


While having sex:

Drink = it's clumbsy and not great, normally forgetting everything. Did I wear a condom?

Weed = hightens my feelings where it matters and it's not so messy.


How it affects your social ability:

Drink = fights and arguments, which are over nothing.

Weed = very chilled out, wouldn't harm a fly, get along with everyone.



Normally when I get stoned I have a good debate about stupid things, sitting in the same room or chair for a few hours enjoying the feeling. Never been sick from it, have been a bit lazy after if I had lots but normally I am fine. Never affects my judgement, I know my actions have concequences.

When I am drunk, I do stupid stuff, talk crap and can have a bit of an argument over nothing. End up places I can't remember getting to and make there doesn't seem to be any concequences for my actions. Makes me sick and is generally crap for me for the next day at least.

I am not preaching here, I am giving you MY personal opinion based on my own experiences.

Weed makes me anxious, paranoid, edgy and very unsocial.

A few drinks on the other hand makes me the opposite so I guess alcohol wins.

If I had to choose, then weed.

As for mixing the two?

I have good nights with both, but I try to avoid smoking when drunk as it hits me like a tonne of bricks. By comparison, I do not suffer adversely when I drink when stoned. I merely drink less. No idea why the order affects things as it does, but it does!

The drink wins hands down. Ban all forms of smoking. Forever.

So which one makes you lick mens faces?

Keep quiet you... Actually the drink makes me do that. I wouldn't do something so stupid if I was stoned :P

You dont have to smoke weed to get stoned, you can eat, put it in tea, but its a lot more intense i found. :eek:

Weed makes me just want to be alone and do lazy things like tv or games, alcohol makes me want to chat and go out. So, for me each has their appropriate time.

flushje

There both totally diffearnt, Im off smoke about 3 weeks now and I feel great, smoking hash and weed makes alot of people paranoid and unsocialable. Im 22 now and after smoking that dirt for 7 years has really taken its toll. People in this thread who are saying it makes you friendly,carefree and get along with everyone are speaking bullsh*t.

I think its okay if you smoke it in moderation like at house parties etc. Id prefer a few pints for sure.

The Master

I'd have to choose drink

Alcohol and night swimming it's a winning combination

Black Swan

Weed should be packaged, regulated, taxed, and sold like alcohol. I won't smoke it, cause I hate smoking in general, and want to keep my lungs healthy. But I see it no more harmful than alcohol, when taken in moderation, and I like a pint or a glass of wine every now and then, so what's all the fuss about weed?

Prof.Badass

caffeine= 0.4
alcohol = 1
weed= 1.8
weed + caffeine= 1.8 (no synergy between the 2)
alcohol + caffeine = 2 (so much better than either drug on it's own).


alcohol + caffeine + weed = 2.5 **** yeah !
