a little help

so my friend is very very anti-marijuana. however, he sees NO problem with drinking. i got into a debate with him last night, and he wanted me to tell him all the health problems that could come from drinking, and all the heath problems that could come from smoking.

i googled "what happens when you drink too much" and the first link listed a ton of health problems caused by drinking excessively.
i didnt bother googling anything for pot, but the only reasonable health problems i've found were depression and possible respiratory problems but thats only related to smoking, not just weed itself (if you were to eat it or something)

so apparently that wasn't good enough, so he wanted me to find the chances that various health problems would occur from drinking excessively, and then the chances of the SAME health problems from smoking weed excessively (every day or so)

so if anyone can give me some reliable sources that would prove this that would be great.

Why don't you like.....do it yourself instead of asking other people to do the work for you.

 

how accurate are the legal things on that site? like when you click on a state and it gives you all the stuff... like, is that all definite or is it just depending on the area and such?

 

cause i want to make sure i dont go to a biased site and i want something reliable... it seems like a lot of the info i try to find online isnt reliable, and my friend refuses to believe anything unless there is proof cause hes so ridiculously stubborn.

 

I hate when people are like that. It's widely known alcohol is far more dangerous than weed. Everyone just thinks weed is this insane killer drug because it's illegal. Laaaaaaame

NORML is THE site for weed and legalization and stuff. Everything on that site is 100% correct.

 

Tell him to shut the fuck up, if he doesn't want to smoke weed then he doesn't have to, but he shouldn't criticize others for doing so. He can stick to his mediocre legal alternatives.

 

theres raised risks on shizophrenia. Pot can make it surface sooner. Plus many many other possible fucked up side effects. But most allready exist, pots just enhances them.

 

So you came to a place called the stoners lounge?

 

sounds like me in the 7th grade.

my advice?

wait for him to grow up.

:cheers2:

does it really matter to you that much to look up all that shit just to prove to him that pot is better than alcohol? just let him find that out for himself..

 

Think of why society sees weed as worse.
Basically, alcohol is legal because you can drink and not get drunk. If you smoke any (at least two hits) of weed, you're going to be "under the influence".

 

its always these dumbasses that stop being your friend because you smoke pot.
then they get arrested for dui or robbing a convinience store for alcohol while both severely underage. (two true stories about two shitty friends)

try this
http://www.reddit.com/r/Marijuana/comments/82xf0/hey_everyone_this_is_the_letter_i_drafted_in/

It was written specifically about a bill in canada, but has alot of good writing and some very cogent points

 

well hes like my best friend, and he doesnt like how i act when im high, he doesnt like anyone smoking near him, he doesnt like when anyone has weed on them if hes there (even if we arent going to smoke it), he doesnt like anyone to talk about it... its so fucking dumb cause pretty much all of his friends smoke weed.

he also wants proof that driving while high isnt really all that bad. cause hes all upset that i drive high, but im not gonna stop, cause i dont think its all that bad....

 

we had a guy like that back in the day...we finally convinced him to party with us and try weed.......now he's a hopeless heroin addict and we dont like him anymore so the problem for us kinda worked itself out...good luck
