Yes it would be. I would put a poll but I don't know how or if I even can. It seems that this is a topic a lot of people feel strongly about. I agree with each and everyone of you in saying that each has its up and downs.

I think it is safe to say that since this is a Marijuana forum that every would probably like weed more but from the posts I see there is sort of a mix.

Weed +1

Good luck bud, me too almost two years clean...love my weed and I don't think I could have beaten the drink without it. I feel better everyday mentally and physically...I haven't been sick since I quit, not once. Good luck with the recovery, if you are like me just take a puff if you get the itch.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have beenoff the liquids about 6 years, but still the urges come. I lost all my friends (drinking buddies?) when I quit mostly because I didnt like being around them when they are drunk. Its strange because I use to be the same as them when drinking, but being around them sober, they seemed to be so anoying. I am from a long line of alcocholics as well, so the fight will allways continue. I am glad to have smoke on my side.

I feel ya papajock....never been an alcoholic, but I am a recovering addict. Was addicted to crystal meth for a while, then I changed it up to Oxys and Coke. Been clean over 2 years now, and the weed is what keeps me from losing it sometimes.

I have been smoking pot for 40 yrs and I do not drink. I tried it a couple of times, just did not like it. There seems to be 3 types of drinkers, the happy drinker, the stupid drinker and the mean drunk...pot seems to affect most folks the same way..mellow.

I'm the stupid drunk! I'll try and drive after doing irish car bombs on St Patricks Day!

LOL...so you're the one that drives BETTER after a few drinks then huh?

this is a great topic. booze is bad for the body and relationships, people use it as an excuse. drunks kill people, high people miss their exits! i love a beeeeeer and a bowl though at the end of the night, but I only buy a tall boy so i can't overdo it. i have noticed alcohol helps with the uptake of the smoke and i get just a little higher than normal and it last much longer. i noticed i spend $$$ at the bar and at the end of the night if i dont get a girl that i'd find myself wishing i used that 80$ to buy more chronic.
