Which "high" lasts longer: Weed or Alcohol?

I am wondering this because college is about to start again, and I know that I am going to be at some parties. I work out often and am kind of worried about getting back into drinking as the empty calories/bad hangovers tend to really hurt my gains. My past two years of college I have been only drinking (never smoked weed), usually about once or twice a week. I am thinking about trying out weed in place of the alcohol. But is a high from weed a lot quicker than, say, a good buzz from drinking 6-8 beers? Also, would you consider weed to be a good alternative?

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)

Assuming you get the good stuff, after perhaps three hits you will probably be HAMMERED, especially for newbies, but there will be no slurred speech and no hangover. If it's clean, you won't get headaches. At worst, physically, you will cough. Weed basically feels exactly the same as being really drunk except with the world's greatest and longest orgasm the first time you get high, on about the second or third time. Even though the orgasmic quality disappears with continued use, it's still a very good feeling.

It's certainly one helluva lot healthier to smoke weed than drink. You can so wreck your body with alcohol in so many ways, but with weed, eh, memory impairment and cognitive abilities improve very rapidly and are totally back to normal within six weeks. Foods and sweets taste amazing. Weed isn't great on the lungs but the jury is out whether it causes long-term damage, but that problem is solved with vaporizers.

But think about finances: if you go to a bar, a night of heavy drinking might cost $30.00, let's say, for five or six drinks. If you're in Miami or New York, a good night may cost $100.00 for all that debauchery. Regardless, that's just for one night of fun. Now, an eighth of an ounce of really good weed ("krippie") might cost $60.00 and can easily last a month or more at a casual pace. With two or three hits a high, I once estimated it can cost perhaps $2.50 to get high.

I think "sleepy" and "contemplative" are the more accurate terms, IMO.

After drunkenness wears off you just feel like ****.
After a high wears off you HAVE to sleep. Maybe its just me, but I smoke and pass the ****kk out.

When I go out i'll usually drink for a little bit, let the drunkenness come down and right before I start feeling ****ty I'll smoke. Then the high takes care of the ****ty feelings for an hour or two and then I pass out and am well rested for the next day :D

Wow buddy smoking till you pass out is WAY overboard... it's true though that you can't OD on Weed and it's much safer than Alcohol. The bad thing about weed is some ppl aren't cool with it... and you can freak out, which sucks. The good part about weed is that even if you're f'cked in half you can still go out in public and it's wicked fun. Make sure you use vaporizers and get good stuff. :D

The high depends on the amount too... I did a quater with my buddy using gravity bongs and I was pretty good for 3 hours. I was still pretty blazed goin through customs at the airport. Thank God they don't have random urine checks.

I made a horrible mistake smoking before i drank, Worst headache/hangover ever and i never even get headaches

I hate alcohol, it just makes me feel like shvt, even before the drunk wears off
Oh yea never ever smoke and then drink... it'll make you really sick. If you're gonna mix it, you HAVE to drink first. I still wouldn't recommend it though...

Another thing about alcohol is that the tolerance builds quicker and it kills your liver. Once you shoot your liver... a lil alcohol will mess u up. (In a bad way.)

Weed... you can keep getting better stuff, but it can get expensive. Don't be a stupid pothead (little everyday is pointless to me)... do it once a month.

Lately I've liked weed so much more. It seems nowadays I can't even feel that phucked up on alcohol without feeling physically sick first, so getting flat-out drunk really isn't an option for me. Smoking weed is just so much more enjoyable.

OK, Ive never smoked pot so I'm ignorant of it, BUT if its the equilivant of smoking a cigarette from the lungs point of view, I'd say smoking harms the body more than drinking unless the drinking is really excessive (to the point of stressing the organs).

Drinking in moderation (2 drinks for a man, one for a woman/day) is arguably not only not harmful, but might be helpful. Smoking is bad in any quantity.

Smoking aint great for the lungs if you work out, smoking weed is worse for lungs than normal cigarettes.


If you are lifter you may wanna check out GHB. Its cheap and feels more euphoric and energetic than alco, also makes you feel horny as fvck.
If you know what you are doing and have a very reliable source it is one of the safest as it occurs naturally in the body, research it though, your lifter buddys may know where to get it. Im pretty sure you used to be able to buy it as a supplement in the USofA back in the day, but not any more.

cheers

I try to be as anti-pot as possible, because it does have plenty of disadvantages to it. However, the government propaganda about it causing lung cancer and being worse than smoking is a giant lie. In parts of Jamaica and Belize, there is a large segment of the population who have been smoking every day, some of them all day every day, for decades, and there is no epidemic of lung cancer like there would be if pot caused cancer. Caribbean potheads may be skinny and lazy, but they aren't getting cancer.

After pouring millions into research trying to find something unhealthy about pot, the government has come up with nothing. Here's 24 pieces of research showing that pot actually has anti-cancer properties.

But back to being anti-pot, it will get you in legal trouble, more so in some places. There's one pot arrest in the US every 40 seconds.

By damage to the lungs, I didn't mean to refer only to lung cancer. I'm including all of the other conditions that could result from damage to lung tissue, including a top 10 killer of both men and women; emphysema.

However, apparently the carcinogenic effects of marijuana is also debated. Here's a clip from http://www.well.com/user/woa/fspot.htm

"Can marijuana cause cancer?
Marijuana smoke has been found to contain more cancer-causing agents than is found in tobacco smoke. Examination of human lung tissue that had been exposed to marijuana smoke over a long period of time in a laboratory showed cellular changes called metaplasia that are considered precancerous. In laboratory test, the tars from marijuana smoke have produced tumors when applied to animal skin. These studies suggest that it is likely that marijuana may cause cancer if used for a number of years. "

..............

So I dunno - if i were looking for something fun and recreational to do that wouldn't have a great chance of affecting my health or well-being, I'd probably pick something besides smoking pot.

1. Pot smokers tend not to smoke nearly as much as cigarette smokers. Someone who smokes cigarettes is probably addicted, and probably smokes multiple cigarettes every day, for years. Some pot smokers only smoke up once a week or a couple times a month or whatever.

2. You don't have to smoke joints. Using a bong is better, and using a vaporizor is even much better than that. Not to mention putting it in foods.

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.

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)

You dont eat it. You cook it into butter in a pot, strain the butter so all the leaves are removed and then use the butter to cook food with such as brownies, toast for breakfast, etc. There's many good recipes on the internet for it.

You're right, I should have been more precise. btw, the butter stinks up your house (and the neighborhood) when it's cooked. And chocolate chip cookies are good. (or so I've heard)

smoking pot is better when with your friends, or by yourself or in nature. Getting drunk is better at parties. Pot better for health, less after/side effects. Getting drunk however, is just a lot of fun. Pot is more of a thinking, laughing at jokes and **** kind of high. Both are great, I prefer pot usually

pot is about 1-2 hours
That brings up an interesting point. That's 1-2 hours of normal time. In stoner time, 1-2 hours is 5-10 hours. I swear, whenever I've looked at a watch, I could have sworn 10 minutes elapsed but the watch only showed 2 minutes went on by. :D
