Which "high" lasts longer: Weed or Alcohol?

Pot is better for your body than alcohol

Let the lion protect you from the bear.

-----

I personally like drinking more than smoking. My best buddy is a hardcore blazer, so it was always hard to turn down pot. Also, for some reason my alcohol tolerance is off the hook(12 beers to feel a buzz).

Lately, for about a year now, have been turning down both though. Only drink when there's a truely unreal occasion to(max is 6 beers now b4 cut myself off), and don't smoke at all. I think I'm over that stuff... I still hang out with a beer, or take a hit on a joint, but never enough to feel it for any kind of high.

I don't believe in poisoning my body anymore.

All this sh1t comes back around to rape you in the future, regardless of what "evidence" there is against it.

Don't be one of those losers preaching out against weed and booze tho. It's a personal choice if you abstain, so don't force your views on others.

There are a lot of bullsh1t studies out there regarding marijuana, considering how long the government has had to rely on lies to demonize it.

I'd probably be for legalizing it, if I thought it wouldn't increase the number of "drunk drivers" on the road ("drunk" from a legal Mary Jane high). We learned from prohibition attempts that caused more problems than it solved. I'm not so convinced that'd be the case with pot though.

On that point, that's where smoking pot is worse than cigarettes in my mind. I don't really give a s*** if someone wants to kill themselves (aka smoke cigarettes). Ive never noticed smoking to cause bad driving habits.

Eating it is a way different buzz. It's kind of like weak acid, and it can last for a couple days instead of a couple hours. (or so I've heard)

Uh... no... if you EAT weed then the high will take longer to happen. If you smoke you'll be high in 1-10 min, depends on the weed and how much THC you ingest. If you eat weed though, the body has to digest it and will actually take 1-2 hours to get blazed. The high is stronger and will last longer.

Whoever said 2 alcoholic drinks for men and 1 drink for women is a moron. Wine is the only "healthy" alcohol you should drink daily. Well since most Americans are fat they can drink two glasses, but most people should stick to one a day.

In the end, weed and alcohol both burns up brain cells and you will get dumber. I'm all for doing that kind of stuff in moderation, so your body can cleanse the system properly.

Weed is illegal becaues of the cotton industry, they don't want to compete with hemp. They pay the government off... why would the government spend 1 billion on fighting illegal marijuana trade? They get more then that from the cotton industry. If weed was dangerous why would hospitals use it? More pros than cons, every drug can be dangerous so that argument won't work. You can kill yourself with percription drugs, but you can't OD on weed cuz you will pass out from all the THC.

That guideline wasn't so much for "health", rather its the guideline to follow if you don't want to damage your body. As for the "who" said it, its coming from M.D.'s; a rough rule of thumb Ive seen on more than one site.

I did a bit of research on that because I wasn't a drinker at all for years, but I decided I now like a drink every now and then. Since I'm also a health nut, I didn't want to start a habit that was going to do me a disservice.

Pot is better for your body than alcohol, but it is usually much worse for your social life. Most pot smokers become introverted and anti-social, the opposite of alcohol.

Also, if you are the weightlifter type, pot will increase your metabolism, which can make you skinnier. Despite pot's tendency to stimulate appetite, there are a lot more skinny potheads than fat ones.

(or so I've heard)

The thing for me is that I wouldn't do it more than once a week. I save all of my drinking for party occasions, and rarely just do it for the sake of having a beer. I would treat weed the same way. You do bring up an interesting point though. I guess weed at a party would make me less inclined to approach girls and stuff like that, but even when I bring home a girl when I am drunk, I am usually too wasted to "finish" anyway, so it kind of defeats the purpose, although I can still perform, sloppy as it may be.

A problem that some of you brought up is the whole stigma attached to people that smoke. My one friend is completely against it, and I admit that I used to have a problem with it. I do want to give it a try at least. If the high can last about as long as the drunken high, then hell, I'll give it a shot. I'm not too worried about damaging my body with it, because I won't be a daily smoker.

Girls tend to have strong opinions about pot. Women who don't smoke tend to look down on it. But the younger a girl is, the greater the chance that she'll be cool with it.

Pot is great when you're at a kickback with some friends, or alone.

Stick to alcohol at parties and social events though. Past Saturday went to a party, there was no alcohol but, I did smoke a lot of weed. And it totally makes me extra nervous to talk to girls. **** that. Drinking ftw!

haha...I once walked to the corner store (5 minute walk tops) it felt like 3 hours. Lately I just pass out, its not really fun anymore.

I don't get it... how much do you have to smoke till you pass out? What's so fun about that... you gotta limit yourself. Good thing you're passing out on weed and not alcohol. Passing out on alcohol is bad news.

Doing pot alone is pretty sad and stupid, first of it's a social drug. Don't be a stupid pot head and do it alone... you're gonna get depressed and pretty soon you'll be smoking daily. I know plenty of potheads who don't feel "normal" without smoking a joint a day. By doing it with your friends, it's more fun and you can limit yourself. That said, alcohol is a better social drug... weed makes you tired.

Parties / Alcohol and maybe a hit of weed.

Chilling / Weed with friends.

 

[theunflushables]

not much, just a couple hits. I've given up on it completely now, there is no point to it.

Well I guess people have different reasons for smoking... but I think it's useful. I don't do it myself, but like alcohol and caffeine it's a drug. You can abuse it or use it responsibility.

1. Opens your mind in a good way, more open to philosophical stuff. Reading and learning ideas.... 1000 times better.
2. Relaxes you and relieves stress.
3. Makes your happy and everything more fun and enjoyable, depends on the environment. You can actually sense better, so interacting is more meaningful. That's why you should GO OUT and have fun SOCIALLY instead of sitting alone and doing it.
4. Increases metabolism and makes your eat.
5. Has a good culture, very unique and peaceful. Have you been to stores that cell bongs and hemp products? They got cool stuff. Too bad hippies taints some it... with their dirtyness (WTF) I like to think them more part of the ACID/LCD culture.

There are draw backs though...

1. Damages your lung and burns brain cells.
2. You can get psychologically addicted and weed becomes the center of everything... POTHEAD/STONER!
3. Illegal so you can get caught by cops. Most adults are against it... such hypocrites! They did it when they were teenagers, but they criticize it now.

what the **** are you talking about? Alcohol is the social drug. Drinking by yourself sucks. Pot is awesome no matter if you're with friends or alone. It just relaxes you and makes you feel good, without having to worry about consuming sh1tloads of liquor and getting physically sick. It's perfect for just chillin in front of the tv, or right before you go to bed. Great for temporarily numbing your worries and anxieties, lol. in fact I could use some right now......

I guess you're too blazed to understand my post... I said Weed and Alcohol are both social drugs and more fun with other people. That said alcohol is a better social drug than weed. Weed makes you tired after a certain point and the only way to feel better is to sleep. I also said that weed was good for relaxing and reducing stress... please read carefully before making comments, that way you won't look like an imbecile. Happy tokin! :rock:

1. FALSE

2. FALSE

3. Not in Cali (half-joking)

As if this country isn't brainwashed and fed stupid **** by the media and government already... stop telling people lies.

That's what I was responding to, genius. Or did you forget what you wrote already?

No, pot can become psychologically addictive. I am against the government propaganda and misinformation campaign, but pot is habit-forming even if not physically addictive. People who smoke a lot get intensely irritable when they run out of pot. Smoke 3-4 times a day for a few months, then cut it cold turkey, and you will want to kill everyone for about a week. (or so I've heard)

 

[beastmaster79]

if you drink a lot late at night you'll be drunk for most of the next day. then you'll get a really bad hangover. once i was drunk the entire next day and hungover the day after that. it sucked.


i'll go for months hardly drinking then i'll be at a party that puts me in the mood to get wasted.

if you want to avoid a hangover eat while you're drinking and drink a ton of water. also eat well the next day. continue to drink water.

it kinda sucks not drinking when you're in college becuase most parties have no focus besides getting wasted. dance parties are fun sober though.

does anyone have advice on how to have more fun at parties/clubs/bars when sober? i'm starting to feel these venues are only fun when you've got at least a buzz.
