I would say that cigarettes are worse than weed
Cigarettes are worse than anything. There's a lot more than just tobacco in there. That's why people who smoke cigars are usually better off.
but hey, it was good for you in the 50s even if it was a lie. the big corporation dont want marijuana to be legalized because marijuana is a backyard industry and they want that narcotics money for themselves.
S H A ID O X To play devil's advocate; saying that smoking weed is harming your lungs "but it's not the weed" is like saying that smoking cigarettes is harmful but "it's not the actual cigarette's fault".
Granted however even just tobacco by itself which contains no additives still is poisonous and still has nicotine in it so it's obviously toxic whereas weed isn't.
So there's really no debate to be had in terms of which is more harmful. Cigarettes are the most deadly cocktail of chemicals on the market.
cigarettes are worse than alcohol and alcohol is ridiculously worse than weed. we arent talking about straight out of the ground tobacco, we are talking cigarettes vs weed. unless the weed is laced (which if pot were legalized im sure laced would be illegal)... (actually even if it is laced it'd still be safer than alcohol) theres alot less nasty stuff in a joint than a cigarette.
Duh
Marijuana & heroin in the same category still blows my mind
Alcohol is not on the list because it creates profit smh
So would weed if it was legal. Duh.
They’re on the same list because it was made before they discovered that marijuana can have some health benefits, schedule 1 drugs have, “no health benefits”. And since it was hard to do research on an illegal drug that made changing the schedule difficult

@@mcozy333 not really, just look at the numbers, I'll use 2018's numbers, 1.3 million people visited rehab, about the same number of people were in jail that year for drug charges, yet the statistics show that only 10% of prisoners get go to rehab as part of a deal in their sentence, so really, our of the 1.3 million people in rehab that year, only 130 thousand of them were criminals
@@detectivepayne3773 regardless of that ,saying someone needs rehab for ingesting cannabis is saying - hey no protective lipids for you !!!!! no one needs rehab for cannabis use ... LOL ...
@@mcozy333 Well. Weed isn't physically addictive. If you build up a routine, or remain high 24/7, and suddenly stop, you will feel a difference. It means that your body is adjusting to life without weed, instead of actually needing weed. With that being said, it is very much possible, and easy to develop such a habit. Many stoners don't really care that they need weed, because they aren't feeling like death if they go 12-24 hours without it.
Many people need weed, and are therefore addicted to weed. Few of those will actually visit a rehab clinic. A heroin addict might get clean and relapse later, not because their body needs it, but because they've built up a routine around using the drug. The same goes for weed. The only difference is you won't actually feel "sick" without having already established a routine. In other words; you can be a functional weed addict, but the same doesn't go for heroin.

after alcohol prohibition ended the alcohol enforcement agency had no job ... the word marijuana was created and cannabis/ hemp was the new object of regulation ... touch it go to jail ETC....
Since my friends started smoking pot, they stopped abusing alcohol, some of them even dropped all alcohol except for a beer or glass of wine from time to time. I dont smoke, and only drink on special ocasions, but i'm fully supportive of those who want to make pot legal.
I was on the brink of becoming an alcoholic. I drank myself drunk maby 4-6 times a week for almoust two mounths. When i feelt that i started to crave alcohole the first thing in the morning, I got scared and went back to smoke pot to calm down. thing was that that two weeks after i still drank 3 times a week but i mixed it with weed. at first I got sick allot vomited when i was mixing. but as time went I lowered my alcohole intake to maby 1 liter of beer those times that i drank. so in 2 weeks i hade gone from getting drunk 4-6 times every week to not even getting drunk. and now i can go weeks without thinking about it. It wasn't even a struggle to be honest
hope they didnt drop the wine on the carpet or something...
That's a likely possibility, to be honest, ;)

Alcohol is way worse than weed
As an alcoholic, I would give anything to go back in time, smack the bottle out of my past self's hand and replace it with a joint.
I am physically addicted, unhealthy, I will literally die if I quit and I don't have the money for rehab... Alcohol is one of the most horrific drugs in the world. It being more legal than weed just blows my mind.
you wont die if you quit
Cinder Plenty of people die from alcohol withdrawals every year. You didn't know that trying to quit alcoholism can literally kill you?
stay strong buddy hope you get better
i sympathize with you sad the goverment isnt trying to help people that can be in your situation

Putting weed and heroin together in the same category is like comparing a nerf gun to an AK-47
Funny thing is, smoking cigarettes causes more harm to your body than weed but it's still legal. You know why? The government makes too much money from it to ban it.
+karn sXe a lot, and it would be less harmful to the consumer
+karn sXe None. How could they even tax something you grow in your backyard? I speak by experience, my country is the first, and only one iirc that has regularized (differs from legalized because it's controlled, it's not as 'free' as alcohol yet for instance) marijuana, and they make almost no money out of it. But our government is Socialist (real Socialist, not what Americans call 'left') so they don't really care about taxing things like a flower or pot.
***** Well, that may be true for your country. But here although it's true companies are closely controlled, you can grow up to six cannabis plants in your backyard, and you can perfectly sell them (the leaves or whatever their English name is), just not as a 'cigarrete' because people wouldn't know what's inside. Also, you can simply buy cannabis in any drugstore, without any major difficulty.
+***** Sure. But it's not even near as high as you implied before, that's what I mean. The government's economical profit is minimal, but what they do get is people out of much harder drugs. Here some poor people use "Pasta base", which is even worse than crack in every possible sense. It's made of what's left after the crack process, and of what is too hard to be "useful" for crack. People who are on pasta base have literally nothing they fear, and as they don't get a job, they steal/mug/whatever. What makes them specially dangerous is that they tend to kill you regardless of what you do. They ask for your phone, you give it to them, and they may still shoot you. Regularizing marijuana is a way to have those people use drugs (as you can't get drugs out of the picture, pragmatism) but not "hard" drugs, that being mainly pasta base. And so you may get some rastafari-like poor people, instead of a lot of gangsters or murderers. That's the main profit, not taxes.
Any change to the status quo is massively difficult to convince people of, even without vested interests pushing back against it.
But this is also why wider legalisation among states is likely to be the best route to legislation (or at least downgrading in the Schedule). As more people see no significant negative change to areas where cannabis is more legal, then any federal move against it will become less popular (at the very least being seen as disproportionate, if not entirely unjustified). This will also make it easier to argue for further changes towards legalisation.
Mind you, we also had that here in the UK, where cannabis was downgraded from a Class B to a Class C drug (the downgrading mainly changing the severity of personal possession), then upgraded back a few years later. Mind you, the upgrade was not a popular nor evidence-backed move (it was arguably on the opinions of a few people), and there're a number of people even in government arguing for return to Class C.
As an interesting aside, if the Federal government came down hard on legalised cannabis, you'd also get the strange paradox of young liberal Republicans.
why would they allow cigarettes but not cannabis
Sweet Cakes the government profits sooo much from cigarettes
but wouldnt they get a huge profit from cannabis too?
Marijuana is a "backyard drug" or something like that, I can't remember the term exactly. Pretty much it means that the PEOPLE grow marijuana (hence the need for dealers). You don't see many people growing or making cigarettes, because the government, or industries do that. It's just the fact that marijuana can be made by the public, so they can't directly tax it really.

Because alcohol has been a part of society for millennia, if it was as new as weed you could be sure it would be illegal as hell
Weed isn't new. It's been part of human culture ever since Ancient times, probably even before, but it more commonly referred to as 'hemp' and even medicine was made out of it before the US (and eventually Western civilization) made it illegal. Weed has been made illegal for sheer propaganda to target blacks in the USA, man.

I know it's just a personal anecdote, but I was a very heavy drinker until I started using marijuana regularly. Weed makes you not even care about alcohol (unless you're chemically addicted) because you still get the mind-altering affect with much more mild side-effects, and the plus side of not destroying all of your insides. Also, your dealer doesn't judge how often/much you buy.

ive been smoking for 4 years and ive never had paranoia (aside from being scared of getting caught with it which would go away if it were legal) ive never had a panic attack i was getting a's and b's all year in school half the time i went to school high, im not saying pot is for everyone some people dont like the way it affects them and it affect everyone differently if yo get paranoid when smoking then dont smoke but legalizing it will really help the world
+ItsJustAPrankBro haha nice prank😂
C9 Benner ive been paranoid from lsd but never from weed
McLOVIN SAME
Ever since I started using marijuana recreationally, I haven’t drank alcohol outside of a social glass of wine here and there.
Plot Twist:
He took some marijuana before recording and he suddenly became an expert of drugs. Before taking, he was just a regular guy.
i would use marijuana instead of alcohol in most situations.
ZWar101 I would rather use Cocaine instead of alcohol. and ive used alcohol. so i would use Cocaine.
at leat coke makes you productive eheh. But I don´t really know about health risks compared to alcohol
Diogo It's way worse for your health.
Once had 5 jello shots, I was laying on the ground petting a pitbull, telling him he was a good boy. I didn't think that what I was doing was out of ordinary, but yeah it was apparently.
In ALL
The government only cares about one thing and that's the most Important thing to man: money.
legality isnt to protect you its to protect the government
The only comment the covernment did NOT want you to read
US govt* a capitalist country with a consumerist polity. Pretty sure makes money the most important thing.
Marijuana will create more income
If they legalize weed they’re make more money so that statement is false
I get this recommended after 9 years, on the day germany legalizes weed...
woahh are they really, that is sick
Straightforward into the point I really appreciate it cause I looked at all the videos about 10 or so and yours was the best I thought when it comes to simply putting that marijuana versus Alcohol and you did just that thank you.
"What are they smoking?"
That was pretty damn good. :D
nein
You can't smoke alcohol
cain delima go look up people and teens smoking the vapor from alcohol lml I seen that being done 2 or 3 years ago
i replaced weed with alcohol completely. After I started smoking weed, alcohol is just not enjoyable anymore. Everytime I have a drink now, I wish that I could be at home smoking
freyja potet So true, when I drink I always think "why am I hurting myself drinking when I can just smoke a joint and be alright?"
Make sure you stay at marijuana, I know it’s not a gateway drug. But sometimes people like a better high and will go on to hard drugs
Donald Trump Yeah, I've tried lots of other stuff and I'm not very proud of that
HomySwagYolo maybe it's mush, but for sure it's not for weed.
HomySwagYolo Add links of researches where you took those informations from.
I stopped drinking when i became an active weed enjoyer and i enjoy the lack of hangovers
hit the cart whilst watching this
Statistically speaking, weed is much safer as compared to alcohol. It's about time the demonization and stereotypes associated with it are put to an immediate end.
THANK YOU. i agree completely!
Jo O Lol that shows what you know about weed, First of all there is two different types of weed, Indica/Sativa, Indica slows down the system causing people to feel lazy and lethargic and is often used as a sleep aid, Sativa is the exact opposite, Sativa instead Gives your mind a sense of energy which lead to people doing more things, like dancing/singing/running etc it even boosts the creative process by shutting off the part of the brain that Causes people to worry about what other people might think about whatever an artist might be creating, there are tons of artists that suffer from anxiety that say they probably wouldnt be able to create if it wasnt for Weed (Sativa) which puts that self deprecating voice in your head on mute
Right
Big words blah blah
Yea, I’m talking about the other words 😂
Ok I’d rather deal with the aftermath of getting really high then getting wasted. High me makes bomb ass almond tarts and pet my cat while watching planet earth. Wasted me throws up everywhere, thinks she can handle a knife and wakes up covered in vomit with the worst headache imaginable. Thank god I live in Seattle.
I WONDER WHICH ONE I’LL CHOOSE?
"Thank god I live in Seattle". Not sure how to correlate that to everything else you said. Is that common in Seattle? I heard it's a pretty run-down city but I don't know.
@@SuperKako17 weed is legal in Seattle dumbass
I thought i was the only one watching planet earth after getting high
@@SuperKako17 Washington was the first state to legalize weed and it is literally everywhere
@@aaryakcool Planet Earth high is just the most majestic thing ever. Try going to a planetarium too, its going to blow your mind
As a French that has been living in Canada and currently in the Netherlands (legalized), I can tell you I have smoked way more when I was in France than in those two other countries together... telling you it doesn't affect people's habits if marijuana is legal or not
Weed is exceedingly less dangerous than alcohol. I am an alcoholic and stoner. 21 years sober from alcohol and got high this morning on weed.
Then you're a problem
@@mpgodjrpeople that use alcohol are the main problem 😊😊
how's it going now?
@@robinvanderpal372 good.
Lol at the "what are they smoking" genius line, I repeat, GENIUS.
BaconToast
I didn’t get it though
If you think that's genius, you're probably stupid
ABRAXAS what are you smoking
@@dvdxfr probably not marijuana
I think the government was high when they put it as a schedule 1 drug lmao
More like drunk
What I don’t get is why marijuana is banned but tobacco, something just as bad if not worse for you, isn’t.
Weed is good and weed is great, I love it, why the ignorant hate?
If I could walk down to my corner store and buy a bag of weed, I'd never touch a drink so long as I live.
I hear that!
Of course more then half of pot smokers will do the same the only problem is that we as americans will take advantage of it. Since we werent raised with it unlike amsterdam where peoplevthere understand and know how to use when to use it n when n9t to use it. Just think of it like this cali and colorado r "test" subjects in whether or not the government will ligalize it or not
that was my exact thought!!
same :)
Diego Hernandez Lol you'd be way too lazy to go to the club if you smoked first.
thanks Nixon you made people think weeds bad for you
Clorox Bleach's it's bad for you
Clorox Bleach's smoking sometimes like 2-3 times a month sure not any significant health problems smoking every single day will cause something nasty for you
maplebobo nah dog I smoke weed like 5 or 2 times a week weed is good but I'm not a pothead and I'm still ok
smoking is bad in general. smoke a lettuce, it's bad for you. but smoking pot is a whole lot better than cigarettes and tobacco. Ingesting marijuana, using concentrated oil that isn't burning plant matter are both very good for you, and have a number of health benefits. Its a shame they forget to say the hemp industry was the largest in the world, ropes, sacks, paper etc. for the ship industry. Wonder what they did with all the buds they took off...
Seasonal_clorox_bleach dude wiz smokes like 30- 50 joints a day and he is healthy and has nothing bad in his lungs
Thank you for all the information you give us ❤️💗
9 years later this just seams like a well known fact
I think I know why marijuana was classified as Class 1. It is because under marijuana, the user becomes much more paranoid than usual, and thus, paranoia leads to conspiracy. In fact, most conspiracy theories are created under the use of marijuana. Especially during the 1960s, the hippie stoner was not only a stoner but an active protestor against injustices such as the Vietnam War, segregation, outlawing homosexuality, etc. As a result, the government feels it is dangerous because it promotes protest and motivates social change.
Now whether protest and social change is good or not is up to you. But a government that bans a drug that makes the user question the actions of said government seems a bit mysterious in itself.
+Anon Ymous (Anonymous) That is definitely not true. Just watch the X-files. ;)
+Catalepsy
"That shit is disgusting" your opinion, not fact.
"biologically unnatural." thats just a straight up lie....
+Anon Ymous (Anonymous) Actually, Marijuana is classified as Schedule 1 for a different reason. When the drug war first began, and drugs were being identified and listed, Marijuana was temporarily listed in Schedule 1 during testing in the event it was horribly dangerous. However, after multiple studies determined that it should be lowered in classification, or altogether dropped from the list of controlled substances, Nixon (being Nixon) decided that it would remain as Schedule 1 despite the evidence, likely to add fuel for the war on drugs.
+Anon Ymous (Anonymous) Ha, ha, what dude? Sounds like you're describing yourself.
+Catalepsy You are disgusting. You hateful homophobe.
Alcohol is the devil's piss.
The alcohol industry is Evil.
Weed is the devil's lettuce, duh. He grows it in his garden, but I can't tell you where.
i had a lotta piss in my stomach then...great.
no the devil doesnt exist lmao
memehead dude please coukd u tell me, i just wanna steal a bit lmfao
Amazing coverage! Very nuanced and level-headed take
Who drinks alcohol? That craps disgusting
People who enjoy the taste of alcohol
I read first ''Weed is more dangerous than alcohol''
I was immediately triggered

donald trump would be on a drug called wall. not very popular drug in mexico.
they're all perpetually slammed off PCP
America is still wack and getting worse.
Anti-weed but pro-alcohol is one of the most hypocritical things to do.
It's 99% of the population
Alcohol isn't banned because it's a big source of income
Cannabis is a larger source of income, it' deeper than that.
No, it isn't banned because of prohibition. We learned our lesson, you should learn it too. www.history.com/topics/prohibition

Legislators don't like history or science, they like what they feel. If they're scared of something they'll ban it. And you're partially right as well as he is. There is an array of reasons for why it is still legal. Not only does it provide tax revenue, it provides jobs and facilitates international trade. The prohibition wasn't quite as rowdy as people would have you believe, however it did obviously instigate organized crime and bootlegging. Hopefully you're right and people did learn their lesson.
And dont forget the fact that j cole went double platinum without a single feature

Lmao
Cristian! Tf does that some time have to do with the video
Monroe Slabaugh cos it's lit...
I'm sorry...
i love being high on weed. it makes me feel so relaxed and happy
Marijuana should be legal in hole world
Only developed countries. 3rd world countries need to establish a baseline level of productivity before they indulge in recreational drugs.
