WEED vs ALCOHOL

Marijuana is much less addictive than alcohol, with just nine percent of users becoming dependent, as opposed to 15 percent for booze. And marijuana is much less toxic. Heavy drinking is well-documented to damage the brain and liver, and to increase the risk of many types of cancer.

Lies About Marijuana Drive People to a Much More Harmful Drug — Booze. Anti-pot propaganda drives most people to drink alcohol instead. But booze is far more dangerous than marijuana.
