Why Is Marijuana Better Than Alcohol

Marijuana vs. Alcohol

Is marijuana safer than alcohol, many people will say that marijuana is a dangerous and addictive drug that has destroyed many lives of teens and adults. It can lead to lung disease, heart disease and more importantly can influence the use of harder drugs such as cocaine, heroin and PCP. Alcohol on the other hand may not cause lung cancer, it’s simply a social indulgent. In my opinion, I believe that both marijuana and alcohol are equals. Use of both carry health risks, alter mental and physical states, impair one’s judgments and are addicting. They can be even more dangerous when used together. I think having a casual cocktail with dinner or while listening to your favorite band is more socially acceptable than smoking a joint. Used is moderation is the key. Whether its alcohol or marijuana, if people had the self control to use them in moderation it may be safe. However a lot a people cannot control the use of either alcohol or marijuana and that is what seems to cause a problem.
In this article, the writer says that Americans, we have been mislead, in regards to marijuana and how
marijuana. The argument was in defense of marijuana. All the information presented was pointing to alcohol as the worst habit a person could have. There was little supporting details given and when stats were told, they reference studies from Britain. The information should be related to stats and studies from our country. Both of them have been studied by many organizations and conducted in various situations. These tests probably have positive and negative results. People should be made aware of this information but I think that is should be presented in an unbiased way because most people do not like to be told what to do or how to do it. Information is valuable and how we choose to use it should be left to us. On
