    Alcohol. By far.

    Although they both have been around for thousands of years, alcohol has been proven to cause far more damage to both the user and those around him/her. Alcohol makes the user more violent, while pot makes you more laid back and relaxed. How many deaths attributed to marijuana use? Zero. Alcohol use? 1000s of people die from drunk driving accidents and alcohol overdoses yearly. Alcohol has been proven to kill brain cells in significant amounts, while marijuana has actually been linked to reducing neuron degeneration as well as having many other medical benefits. The fact that marijuana is illegal and alcohol is not is just maddening.

    It is open to debate, however most likely pot is unlawful,but can without problems deal with some clinical ailments. Nevertheless there's scientific evidence showing that alcohol (and nicotine) are both extra harmful to the health and are extra addictive than pot. So for my part, in a controlled atmosphere, pot is healthier. Verify out these links beneath...

    It's an old star trek episode. YOur choice is SPock going crazy or Dr Bones dieing. Pot does far more damage to the brain and Alcohol does far more damage to the Liver. One of the worse attribute of POt is it stays in your system forever. Granted in society Alcohol does more damage but that is because it's legal and common. If we legalize pot, it's damage would excalate.

    Think of it this way. Small amounts of Alcohol is actually beneficial, but would not get your drunk, on the other hand just a toke of pot effects you.

    Prolonged and consistent use of alcohol affects nearly EVERY organ in the body, while cannabis on the other hand can cause chronic cough or throat problems due to smoking. So in the long run I'd say alcohol is more severe.

    i think pot is worse for you mentally in the long run and alcohol for your body.. like i dont care what people say but pot stuffs up your brain and people do go crazy from it especially if its everyday.

    but alcohol obviously is so bad for your liver and stuff but if its only in small amounts i dont think either would do too much damage

    Well i believe Alcohol. It can get you addicted quickly, it's not natural, it's high in calories. And well weed well it's more natural depending which one you chose, it helps with your eye sight, and chronic pains or illnesses. The only Alcohol that's not so bad is red wine, they say a cup a day can help the circulation.

    Both done in moderation wouldn't be that bad for you. But alcohol is more addictive, whereas pot isn't. So my pick for worse would be alcohol

    Alcohol, you don't hear of people killing people when there high, you only hear of drunks running people over and attacking people. Alcohol can also give you cancer in the mouth, throat, or liver.

    Alcohol is by far worse for your body than weed is. Alcohol is more toxic, more addictive, more harmful to the body, more likely to result in injuries, and more likely to lead to interpersonal violence than weed .
