This is a topic on choosing your poison I guess and drinking doesn't hurt me that much so I stick with that. I don't drink often either. Find me one of those articles that scientific evidence of pot not hurting you.
People do far stupider under the influence of alcohol. I?ve never heard of anyone blacking out on weed, or trying to fight every patron in a bar because of weed. Ask a cop if they would rather deal with a stoned person or a drunk. Every cop I know says stoned and don?t even think twice about it.
Anything in the extreme is bad for you and yes some drunks act like idiots. The things pot does do to you, you are taking lightly but that is enough info for me to not start smoking pot. Especially since it is illegal and there is punishment for it along with having to go to drug dealers.
Exactly. Alcohol messes with you more than weed does, that is just a fact. Maybe in your personal experiences it hasn't (speaking to mavsfan), but that doesn't mean that is the case when we're talking about people in general. People under the influence of alcohol have done far worse/crazier things than people under the influence of weed.
I'm just telling from my own years of research - pot is OK!!! But hey I'm all for those who don't do it or haven't or won't try it. I just think they should shut the hell up about things they don't know about.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I've developed a trust with alcohol on personal experiences so those that blame alcohol for doing stupid things don't want to blame themselves for being stupid.</div> Their stupid for drinking themselves enough to act stupid.

But what are the positives towards drinking alcohol? Aren't there more negative effects even with a 1 or 2 a day then positive?

I really don't care if somebody doesn't like to smoke, etc., because that's their own personal preference and that's the end of that. What pisses me off are when people I know tell me I shouldn't smoke and then start talking about all the bad things it does to me when they have actually no idea what they are talking about.
Haha funny how everyone says they researched but than don't put down a source of where they research. I also researched that Dirk is the best player in the nba. No source though. I still would like to see an article of proof that pot doesn't do sh*t.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>It makes fat ugly girls, skinny and pretty.</div> I should have saw that coming. But really, where I see this ending up is whether or not mavsfan would have been for ending the prohibition of alcohol had he lived during that time. If he is, then that's bias right there, because just like alcohol, there are people out there who can smoke weed and not be drastically effected. One who favors a certain poison over another, to where they bash the other is contradictary imo. I personally feel each are more negative then positive, but one is legal and the other not. I can see where the pro-marijuana smokers have a point.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>1. Makes eating more enjoyable2. Makes music more enjoyable3.

I just talked to my dad about pot and he is a doctor. He said that pot is proven to cause chromosomal damage and that the IQ drops from taking it. Anything with long term effects like this I don't want apart of.

I don't care if people smoke it, but stop acting like it's completely safe, a miracle drug, and so on. It's not. It has its negatives just like any drug (legal or illegal) does.

Obviously people who smoke weed 24/7 will suffer in the long run at some point, but the same goes for alcoholics.
Not even close when it comes to long term effects if you are a casual drinker compared to a casual pot smoker. Most people fit into these categories.

Pot does not lower your IQ...your IQ can't be dropped lol...and to Justice, about the 24 hour thing - I was quoting what Mavsfan said.
My Dad is an MD. You would think he has done his research since he's gone to medical school. Stop believing about pot what you want to believe and face the truth. It is illegal and it could be laced are risk as well to not smoke.
