  No, I still think bud is safer.

    Health wise?

    Depends. If you’re an edibles fan you’re set, but smoking is smoking, cope.

      Safer doesn’t mean perfectly safe.

      You could much more easily die from over consumption of alcohol than you could from smoking weed.

      Hey cope, thanks for the reply. Consider how we use alcohol to make things like turkey, pork etc tender. Alcohol breaks down fibrous connective tissue, so your bourbon-bbq pulled pork is especially soft and succulent.

      Now, consider what happens in your body. A toxic agent reaching all corners of your body, vs an irritating cloud of ash which gets trapped in your alveoli. Neither is good, but evidence strongly suggests that it’s harder to hurt yourself with flower vs booze.

      For the record, I partake in both on occasion, but I definitely think alcohol is worse for me, personally. Everybody’s different.

      Weed is much safer than alcohol, even if you smoke it

      Check out dry herb vaping, the safest way to “smoke” weed without combustion. Still not perfect but way better in every way.

    That’s two of the reasons why drug testing is bullshit:

    A) Alcohol isn’t considered a part of it and you can fail a drug test if you had weed a week ago but pass if you got drunk before pissing in the cup.

    and

    B) If you can do your job efficiently, who cares what substances you take? If someone shows up to work drunk or high and can’t do their job, by all means, fire them. But so many people do their work just fine drunk or high.

  I’m a fully functional stoner (full stack dev) living in a tropical country full of drinkers. It’s not the same. I can’t imagine functioning on alcohol and honestly never saw anyone succeed though there are a lot of successful stoners here. It’s a different drug though cannabis definitely will impact your performance and motivation so you have to plan accordingly.

    I’ve seen a ton of people argue that it’s fine to drive after smoking and how it doesn’t affect it. With alcohol everyone knowns it makes you a worse driver, with weed you sometimes get people who say it makes them better.

    source

    • Rootiest@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Seen plenty of people try to make that same claim about alcohol.

      Also I think the reduced inhibitions often causes people to become overconfident in their ability to drive safely.

      I’ve had to drive while under the influence of marijuana a couple of times and can say that is bullshit lmao.

      If you smoked a little, you’ll probably be fine just like if you drank a beer or two. Smoke a lot though and you are going to get distracted easily, spaced out, etc. Anything other than totally sober will make you a worse driver unless it’s something like amphetamine

    Biggest danger from weed is secondhand smoke. A drunk might crash into you with their car and then beat you up for being in the way.

  I was high everyday for 3 months approx, memory got worse, hunger suppression and actually lost weight, stopped like a month ago, no side effects, felt a little weird being sober, I think I actually like weed less now. But I know that if I did the same with alcohol I would be dead.

      Weed smokers are less likely to get lung cancer than non smokers, they have a bigger lung capacity and it acts like a bronchodilator, making it (the substance, not the smoking part) an effective medicine in patients with asthma. People who’ve used marijuana and develop COPD also have a lower mortality rate, and it is beneficial when it comes to corona as well. But yes, smoke is still bad for you.

    “May be” is the point.

    From the Forbes article you cite:

    “KEY QUOTE

    ‘It’s important to emphasize that these findings are observational, and they provide insights into patterns within our dataset. However, they do not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship,’ lead author Dr. Anees Bahji, at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine, told Forbes.”

    Drinking anything other than water, breathing anything other than air, and eating just about anything have been shown in some study somewhere to be harmful in someway.
