Alcohol and Cannabis - Double Standards

I find it strange how those that drink alcoholic beverages look down on stoners, or how stoners look down on those that enjoy their alcohol...

The same people that talk against using weed are the same ones that go out with their friends and get drunk - and vica versa for stoners.


It's just such a huge double standard. If you have ever gotten drunk, or continue to get drunk here and there, then what is wrong with others getting high? They are both intoxicants, so why look down on each other?

I don't get it. Do any of you?

 

i think most people do both. they're just very different experiences. maybe people just can't relate since drunk people and stoned people kinda do act in completely different ways, like rowdy vs. mellow.

another double standard is how if someone smokes everyday it's fine, but if someone drinks everyday then they "have a drinking problem."

 

Well, all the people who drink and hate on stoners, or the other way around need to do both at once and find out what they're really missing.

 

" like rowdy vs. mellow.

That's true.

"if someone smokes everyday it's fine, but if someone drinks everyday then they "have a drinking problem."

It really depends. I know people that can drink everyday and are still responsible people, and the same goes for people that smoke everyday. How much one smokes or drinks can be different for each individual.

Drinking alcohol everyday is different from smoking everyday in that there is a huge difference in health implications. It's safer to smoke everyday than to drink everyday.

I would be more worried over a friend drinking everyday as opposed to using cannabis.

I have never gotten drunk and that's mostly because I don't want to experience a hangover. I have gotten buzzed, and that can be nice from time to time.

 

People who look down on the other for smoking or drinking should honestly do both at once.

Its so nice.

You won't get sick, like a lot of people say, If your an experienced smoker and drinker.

 

Even though LOTS of people smoke, even more drink (practically everyone at one time or another). It just makes sense that someone who doesn't understand and looks down on marijuana is more likely than not a "drinker", making them an unintentional hypocrite.

 

my crowd does a lot of both...and other things

thats the way it should be, not lookin down on each other

 

idk call it double standard for me but i think drinking is worse than smoking. if a person gets drunk they look stupid and irresponsible but when one is high they just look happy i guess idk.

 

It doesn't matter to me if people judge others on what substances they consume, as it usually means more substances for me to consume

 

yeah like everybody I know does both. People don't even really even like look down on coke and acid and shit that alot of people don't do

 

just do a little self-experimentation: drink everyday for a week and then smoke everyday for a week. Then document how you feel at the end of both.

chances are you are going to feel like a walking corpse with swollen constipated bowels after alky week.

 

actually smoking everyday you are now a stoner/pothead so its the same shit people should just try a little of both so they get where everyone is coming from
