This is strictly for my term paper. I'm doing it on the effects of alcohol compared to the effects of soft drugs (such as marijuana.) What's your take on the two? Do ya'll have knowledge about either of the two's effects?

Alcohol. Alcoholism is a genetic trait, which explains myself, but their is no drug dependency that can be passed down through families.

Alcohol is a drug and is far worse than marijuana. I vehemently oppose both.

Well first off you need to specify what all drugs (other than Marijuana) fall into the "soft" category.

IMO, your probably better off just taking off soft drugs and only leaving Marijuana. You can make a much better argument if it's just marijuana vs alcohol, because in this case alcohol crushes marijuana on the danger scale.

Ahhh, yes. My favorite part was with the overly hyper piano player.

But about the topic, marijuana really isn't even bad for you.

Alcohol is more dangerous. Cirrhosis, hepatitis, stomach damage, pancreas damage, more addictive, can actually poison you in too large quantities, and impairs driving skills on a level that drugs like marijuana can't match.

People like to make the argument that heavy marijuana use at a young age can lead to mental illness. What they are forgetting is the fact that statistically alcohol abuse is a 4x greater predictor for developing schizophrenia...

No matter how you look at it, alcohol is much more dangerous.
