Which Is Worse for Your Health: Marijuana or Alcohol?

A few days ago, I stumbled upon an article which is quite fascinating in my opinion. It is about the widespread and legal use of alcohol and how it when compared to Marijuana( illegal ), is commonly assumed to be very detrimental to your health. So here I would state out the points and let you decide which is worse for your health, marijuana or alcohol?

Prolonged and consistent use of alcohol affects nearly every organ of the body

1. the gastrointestinal track
2. cardiovascular system
3. central nervous system

Alcohol is a contributing factor in

1. Gastritis
2. ulcers
3. liver cirrhosis
4. pancreatitis
5. hypertension
6. muscle weakness
7. memory impairment.

Other symptoms include:

1. Tremor

2. unsteady gait

3. insonmia

4. erectile dysfunction.

In pregnant women

1. Abortion or fetal alcohol syndrome and birth defects.

Drinkers fall more and cause accidents. Alcohol is related to 55% of fatal auto accidents. Half of all murderers and their victims are believed to involve alcohol. Furthermore, alcohol leads to disinhibition of feelings of sadness and aggression which can lead to suicide.

On the other hand, Cannabis

1. Increases appetite,
2. Dry mouth,
3. Tachycardia,
4. Euphoria,
5. Sedation
6. Slowed sense of time.
7. Chronic cough or throat problems due to smoking

These are the symptoms and consequences of cannabis and alcohol according to the DSM-IV, the bible of the psychiatric community. Now, that you have read them yourself, what do you think?

Lawrance the Wannabe-Wise

I couldn't sleep and my thought was on Facebook wondering how do some people come up with some nice quotes for their statuses, so I decided to give it a try:

If you truly love her then let her lives happily, and live happily yourself because if she loves you, that's the way she would want it to be.
