Alcohol vs Weed

[AKDejaVu]

The most reckless, stupid, brawling drunks I've ever met were all stoners.

I do love these "one OR the other" debates.

Why limit oneself? do it all...

Dude, come to Amsterdam in the summer......outside pretty much every touristy coffee shop (read: hash bar) you'll see these absolutely sh*t faced American tourists who thought they could stomach 12 beers and a large, pre-rolled joint.

It's just the funniest thing ever to see em sat there, unable to move cos they feel so bad.......thinkin they're gonna die.......worst they'll do is throw up.  Dutch hospitals have the proceedure for this.......Yank is carried in complaining of drug overdose.....they ask what drug, he says weed, they give him a valium and throw him out again with a bill for $400.

Why do people with virgin lungs come over here and think they can mix the two?

[Maniac]

[Swoop]

A good friend of mine is a rastafarian.  He was up in University in Toronto finnishing his fine arts degree a few years ago and was in the computer labs working on a project.  Being a dredlock he stepped outside for his first spliff of the evening.  There he met up with a Jamaican girl who asked him if she could share in his joint.  He passed it over.

A few minutes went by and the Jamaican girl started to get the spins.  She was panicing and kept asking him "What was in that weed?"....she went really pale in the face and started to sweat apparently.  So, after trying to calm her down he told her he was going to get her some juice, and that she should calm down and try to take deep breaths.

When he returned there was a crowd of students standing around this girl who was laid out flat on her back and moaning that she had OD'd from something my friend had put in the joint.  Some of the students were looking at him as if he was the devil.

"Screw this"...was his last thought before getting his stuff from the computer room and heading as far away as possible.  Security had been called, and an ambulance was on its way to take her to the hospital.  

He called the girl the next day to find out what had happened to the girl.  Her roomate told him that she was too embarrassed to come to the phone and that she was fine.  Turns out that she "sobered up" in the ambulance and by the time she reached the hospital she felt very foolish.

Almost got my buddy in a whole lot of trouble too.

Turns out he had a friend that had grown some weed from some seeds he picked up in Amsterdam.

I've had two friends die from alcohol - one, a Marine Lt. from a car accident DUI and one because his body finally shut down after years of alcoholism. When he started getting seizures, you knew it wouldn't be long after that. There is an old fraternity buddy that is "on the bubble" right now too. A semi-functioning alcoholic accountant.

I can remember alcohol-related date rape issues in college (its funny, one of the new "War on Drugs" commercials is trying to paint pot as a date-rape inducer, what a joke). I can remember alcohol-related beatings that caused brain damage to the victim. I almost died, and killed others, in alcohol related driving incidents in my late teens and early 20s. Only one accident, thank god, with no injuries and no DUI (I was drag racing in an old Volvo - that says a lot - and hit a parked car), but more than a few one-eyed drives and hyper aggressive driving even when far less buzzed. Frankly, alcohol is to be feared if you are at a point in life when you have trouble controlling moderation. Fortunately, I can have only one or two today without too much trouble, and still get a good buzz on from time to time in safe situations.

I've seen friends whose lives were completely ruined by coke too. I see alcohol as being closer to cocaine in life damage, but not nearly as addictive. If there is any moral substance to the war on drugs then alcohol must be criminalized again.  Anything else is gross hypocrisy. Or, perhaps, we need to rethink the whole issue, which has been totally opposed by all recent administrations.

Pot is hardly a vitamin, but it seems to leave less carnage. The pot heads who are losers are likely going to be losers whether they have pot to smoke or not. The same applies to other drugs, but... because of their aggressive physical addictiveness, physical damage and the extent to which the drugs can take over someone's life I feel there is a difference.

Moderation is the key to anything. Any drug can become a hindrance, pot certainly included, particularly if you're predisposed to look for or need a crutch in life.

I see a lot more alchololics than stoners.. and I live in a ski resort that's kinda of a throw back to the 70's.
more stoners here than I've seen since high school.

both are bad and both types of users have their bad sides.

the drunks beat their wives/gf's in the off season and have serious health issues later in life
the stoners can't hold a job because it's too difficult to stay focused and it ruins their high

both are losers IMO.

 Well mixing weed with booze can be dangerous,  espesially when the booze is taken first.  Pot has a multiplying effect on booze by a factor of about 4.

 The thing I don't understand is why Euro's have to mix tabacco with their hooch?

[BUG_EAF322]

I really regret that i am a smoker (normal cigarettes)

that's my only addiction i can't do without

i can do without weed

i can do without coffee

but the last 2 are just a kind of must

even non drug users can be addicted without they now, for instance runners or race car drivers. Just because our body makes adrealine it gives a rush.
This also includes sex .
Our body makes drugs too.
