When keepin it real goes wrong. Very, very wrong.
I'd love to be able to smoke week everyday but i'l need to get a decent pipe for that (I in time i will invest) but atm Booze is the best for a long lastinf buzz that makes everything the best who else likes just likes to invest a good amount for a decent drunkess ?

You will eventually feel like complete shit on a daily basis if you drink to a heavy buzz or to drunkenness every night. If you smoke a lot every night, your brain will feel a little cloudier, but it won't interfere with your functioning as much.

Anyway, a decent pipe shouldn't cost you very much at all. An 8th probably costs about the same amount of money.

For me weed>>>>>>>>booze. It is something I can entertain myself with for a couple/few hours and then it wears off. Unlike booze which would just wear on me all day. You can smoke weed at like any time of day and it is enjoyable.

Booze has the obvious advantage of being legal, and won't interfere with any potential drug tests for obtaining/keeping a job.

I enjoy both though.

Booze > Weed for me. The nuanced levels of buzz to drunk (and being able to jump off at a level) is great instead of weed which is always full on drone zone for me.

I don't agree at all man. To me, alcohol is like an unrefined buzz, sloppy and general. To me the initial effects of alcohol are pretty agreeable - you get a very good glow and feel very nice, but the glow is quick to recede and alcohol has undesirable effects associated with "come down" or "sobering up". For me it is very often fatigue, sometimes less frequently but still common are headaches. I'd say 70+% of the time I drink almost any amount of alcohol I end up with fatigue and headaches not too long after.

I'd much rather smoke weed (or kratom, or oxycodone, or valium, or etc - literally, alcohol is almost the absolute last/bottom on my list of drugs I enjoy) than alcohol. On a non-productive leisure day, I can easily wake in the morning and enjoy a nice joint or bowl outside then proceed to have a great breakfast and if I wish, I can continue smoking before sitting down with a book or a game etc throughout the day. I find weed to be a good precursor to many activities such as reading, watching a film, playing a game, fishing, taking a walk, etc, none of which I enjoy on alcohol. In fact, I don't enjoy much of anything on alcohol sans the first 45 minutes or so. Then it becomes a chore no matter the activity. In short, I just don't see how people can drink all day, or even a moderate amount over a long period of time and still feel good or okay. I can smoke until the cows come home.... I know this isn't the case for everyone, but I love to get stoned.

depends on whether or not I want to socialize with a group.

I ate some space cookies last night. It was like a David Lynch flick. Way stronger and longer lasting than a J for example.

OT: depends on the situation. If I just wanna chill and have a good laugh with good friends I prefer weed. If there´s a bigger group or girls involved I rather prefer alcohol/beer.

edit: since I have a good connection to Holland atm I think I´ll stick with cookies/cake for now. It´s way healthier than smoking.

Weed >>>>> Alcohol

I find the high from smoking weed much more enjoyable, no hangover and sex is great.

I was a pothead for 8 years, smoked daily and still managed to 'manage my life'. If I had done so with alcohol I would probably look 10 years older by now...

I don't know if you smoke pure. That could be the reason for getting the whole buzz. I suggest smoking a small mini joint. Mix the weed with Knaster Blend (has no nicotine).

This should give you a mild buzz only.

And when you smoke pipe only take one hit, keep it in for a while and then wait 10-15 minutes before you take the next hit. Repeat until you have reached the level of stonedness that you feel comfortable with.

I dunno man. I been to both some dark places and some bright spots with either one. But, in general, alcohol will sneak up and physically addict you, and weed will just mentally addict you if you come to rely on it for dealing with shit, ya know?

Truly I think life would be simpler if I had passed on both of them. That would always be the default answer and there'd never be any mental debate (is now a good time? am I having too much? should I be able to enjoy life/tonight without it?). That's what I tell my kids, anyway. Because I'm a fucking hypocrite, that's right.

Everything's a fucking slippery slope. Once you leave level ground behind, it's all more... complicated.

That said, no one ever gets into stupid deadly fist fights, or rockets down the wrong side of a highway and creams a family of four, or croaks in the hostpital with charcoal vainly pumped through their stomach because they smoked too much weed.

A few years ago I got to a point where I couldn't enjoy either one any more. I went through a similar cycle with both, trying it out, enjoying it, moving on to more heavy compulsive use for a while, realizing that I don't really enjoy it any more but continuing to indulge out of habit, and then finally stopping.

It's like I had an uncle that caught me smoking a cigar and locked me in a closet until I smoked the whole thing, only I did it to myself.

Now I just enjoy caffeine. Time for another cup of coffee in fact.

That comic is scarily on point. I was thinking about this very thing the other day - if I had to, which would I give up?

I can't control myself with weed. If I have some, I will find a way to smoke it that day, and every day until it's gone. And then if I get drunk enough in the following week I will probably go out and buy some more. It's no good for socialising in public and makes me (even more) unproductive at work. At night if I'm stoned I will rather watch something than work on my personal projects or play video games (although I have recently discovered the perfection of Sonic after a bift).

When I'm drinking I have about three pints where it genuinely makes me a better person and then another three where it makes me the worst person on Earth. By the end of the first three I've lost the self-control needed not to get totally shitfaced.

However I have the funniest stories from nights where I was drunk and I have the best nights in with my mates from home when we're smoking and playing Smash Bros. It's like choosing between your kids.

used to take weed all day every damn day for two years (loooong time ago).
you will stand still for the time beiing. wasted years basicly.

if you want to smoke one or two a day, you could be fine.
Personally, i will never smoke one again. (will never smoke again in general, sigarettes, weed, etc.)

I now drink a couple of glasses of wine a day (ony late in the evening).
works for me.

as far as the "high experience" goes THC indeed > alcohol.

I prefer weed to alcohol. No question..
Been getting stoned since I was around 13, 24 now. I mostly vape, trying to save my lungs. I don't intend to quit. Always been good to me..

I'm not very good at drinking, usually take it overboard.

Ahh you kids. I been there. You make your call. It's just that anything you end up having to do every day is a prison. Warning signs:

Compulsion - Dude I told myself I wasn't going to do BLANK today and here I am doing BLANK.
Preoccupation - Man I can't get ahold of BLANK. I wonder where I can get some BLANK. Can't stop thinking about the BLANK.
Tolerance - Man every time I get some BLANK it takes more BLANK to get me satisfied. I'm going through all my BLANK so fast!

Addiction is prison, moderation in all things. But if you replace the BLANK with Sasha Grey, then lock me up now, fuck moderation.

Weed, it's way healthier.

For those who fall asleep with weed, get different weed. Not all marijuana gives you the same effect, some get you high, some makes you stoned etc

Weed > Booze

I like the introspective aspect more, and I'm more into just chilling and talking with friends than getting drunk and rowdy.

But the real answer is mixing both.

It depends, really. Weed is something I only do when I'm with a few dude friends or relaxing. I much prefer drinking at parties, because it's more social and generally more fun. Also I really like beer and can see myself having a beer or two on most days during the week

But you can get high every day, while getting drunk every day is sort of, well, frowned upon, unless you're my parents.

I guess Booze > Weed for me, but it's close

I don't smoke though, tried it twice and never got anything out of it. I'll take a beer after a long day at work.

Anyway, here's my real answer as to why Weed > Alcohol. P.S When I say weed, I mean pure marijuana, none of this tobacco laced bullshit.

  • You can't get a hangover
  • You won't gain weight from smoking weed
  • You can't overdose on marijuana
  • Long term weed use is far less harmful than alcohol

What pisses me off is that marijuana is perceived as more dangerous because it's illegal. The only reason it's illegal is for racial reasons and not health reasons.
