How is it fine? Alcohol is ok for young people in small doses. I've been drinking beer since I was 2 no really I have but not much. When I was 10 or 11 I got smash at a New Years party there were 18 year olds giving me tequila and my mum gave me my first 1. You might think well your brain must be fuck well it isn't I pass all my subjects at school usually with Bs. Yes I was drink alone out of boredom but what else could I have done? Played games? Finished them all and all my online games get boring fast. So alcohol seemed good at the time. Another reason I was drinking was because I was watching Walk With Me in Hell and half of it they were drunk so I was like such role models I'll try to be like them. Well no really it was more of mmmmm beer then I was like want alcohol fragile mind needs alcohol.
Wow you must be 14. Of course you don't know how much better, and healthier weed is tht alcohol. Research and come back to join us when you read up about pot. Alcohol is addictive, ruins lives and kills people; no one has ever died as a result of marijuana. So slow down chanchito, and stop the drinking. It's much worse for you than any marijuana. Just because you get B's means nothing as well. School is damn easy. Even high school. And yes, I took advanced courses.
smoking weed before you're 16 doesn't allow your brain to fully develop. smoking weed in excess at any age may not kill you but it will decrease your quality of life and make you not reach your potential.
alcohol is very healthy in very small doses, especially for men. alcohol in excess will kill you.
i have done my research.
My quality of life is not decreased.
99.9% of people don't reach their potential sober.
Almost every good artist did at one point or is smoking cannabis.
People who let it control them don't reach their potential.
You put the drug in you, the drug didn't put you in it.
I disagree with immature beings smoking it.
And to get healthier, don't smoke it. Eat it.
Alcohol is lethal in high doses.
Cannabis is not.
Alcohol kills 100,000+ people yearly.
Cannabis does not.
Alcohol use is involved in:
One-half of all murders, accidental deaths, and suicides
One-third of all drowning, boating and aviation deaths
One-half of all crimes
Almost half of all fatal automobile accidents
The health problems associated with alcohol include brain damage, cancer, heart disease, and cirrhosis of the liver.
Moderate daily drinking reportedly may be good for the heart, but clearly for many the risks outweigh the benefits. Even one binge may produce irregular heartbeats, and alcohol abusers experience increased risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks, heart arrhythmia, and heart disease. Alcohol may cause cardiomyopathy (a disease of the heart muscle). Cessation of drinking aids recovery from this condition.
Nearly 14 million people in the United States--1 in every 13 adults--abuse alcohol or are alcoholics. However, more men than women are alcohol dependent or experience alcohol-related problems. In addition, rates of alcohol problems are highest among young adults ages 18-29 and lowest among adults 65 years and older. Among major U.S. ethnic groups, rates of alcoholism and alcohol-related problems vary.
Marijuana ingestion has been shown to change the worried state by producing alpha waves, experienced as well being.
When we ingest marijuana, the heart swells through capillary enhancement and is fueled more by more fully oxygenated blood, while, at the same time, its contractions and expansions are greater, allowing for stronger pumping action to the rest of the body.
As rigidity in the body is released or reduced by the action of marijuana, there is a corresponding reduction of mental tension that translates into a feeling of expansion and well being and explains the reverential attitude commonly expressed by marijuana lovers.
For a serious psychosomatic disease such as cancer, the benefits to be derived from marijuana cannot be overstated:
1. The causal element of unconscious (repressed) pain can be ferreted out.
2. The breath can be restored to fullness, thereby eliminating directly the built up toxicity and, at the same time, enjoining balance throughout the whole organism. A depressed system is a weakened system, and since it works holistically, marijuana gives strength where weakness exists, and expansion and relaxation where there is contraction and nervousness.
3. The more richly oxygenated blood that is in effect with marijuana can help to cleanse the poisons at the cellular level.
4. And a broader perspective through activation of the entire brain leads to positive feelings and thus eliminates the usual and debilitating attitudes so common in cancerhelplessness, depression, fear, resignation, and dread.
In a Costa Rican study, it was found that chronic marijuana smokers who also smoked cigarettes were less likely to develop cancer than cigarette smokers who didn’t use marijuana. Since marijuana (smoking, as well as ingestion by other methods) dilates the alveoli, toxins are more easily eliminated with cannabis use regardless of its method of application.
Cannabis extract gives powerful relief for chronic pain, and should be studied for future clinical use, a medical researcher has told a conference in Glasgow. Dr William Notcutt of the James Paget Hospital in Great Yarmouth, England, said the cannabis extract used in his study - applied as a spray under the tongue - was remarkably effective in easing chronic pain.
"The cannabis extracts can produce high-quality pain relief, symptom control,
and improvement in the quality of life, without significant side effects," said Dr Notcutt. He tested cannabis extracts collected from cloned plants, in 23 sufferers of chronic pain.
Subjects were mostly patients with multiple sclerosis or spinal injury. Nine had used marijuana regularly in the past, while the remainder were 'na?ve': they had either not used it at all, or had tried it infrequently. The cannabinoid extract was given over eight weeks, and participants' pain levels monitored. Asked to rate their improvement in pain relief on a scale from one to 10, the majority rated it at "between 9 and 10".
Without their knowledge, a placebo was introduced during the trial, and later replaced with cannabinoid. When the extract was removed, pain levels shot up 20 to 30 per cent, and subsequently dropped off once the extract was again provided.
Dr Notcutt said subjects reported improvements ranging from 'life-changing' to allowing them to get a good night's sleep. One subject had returned to work; others had started driving, gardening and caring for children again.
So whats so good about alcohol?
I did some research.
Dr. Kenneth Mukamal, an internist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, was the lead author of a New England Journal of Medicine study examining the roles of drinking patterns and heart disease that found, after 12 year of follow-up, that men who consumed alcohol between three and seven days a week had fewer heart attacks than men who drank once a week.
Don't want heart attacks?
Eat, and Live Healthy.
More recently we've done some work on moderate drinking and dementia. We looked at a group of older adults in the United States - average age was in the mid-70s - and found a reduced risk.
Might help with Dementia.
Yeah, not much.
The younger the age of drinking onset, the greater the chance that an individual at some point in life will develop a clinically defined alcohol disorder. Young people who began drinking before age 15 were four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence (alcohol addiction, commonly known as alcoholism) than those who began drinking at age 21. The risk that a person would develop alcohol abuse (a maladaptive drinking pattern that repeatedly causes life problems) was more than doubled for persons who began drinking before age 15 compared with those who began drinking at age 21.
Driving under the influence of alcohol is one of the most serious dangers of alcohol use. An estimated 513,000 people are injured in alcohol-related crashes each year, an average of 59 people per hour or approximately one person every minute.
Everyone dies every minute from alcohol related car crashes.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeeeeee.
Cannabis over
Alcohol
Whos with me?
