  1. 51% Rate Alcohol More Dangerous Than Marijuana
    via Rasmussen Reports
    Fifty-one percent (51%) of American adults say alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 19% disagree and say pot is worse.
    But 25% say both are equally dangerous. Just two percent (2%) say neither is dangerous.
    Younger adults are more likely than their elders to view alcohol as the more dangerous of the two.
    Fifty-three percent (53%) of women say alcohol is more dangerous than marijuana, compared to 48% of men. Men by a two-to-one margin over women say pot is riskier, but women are more inclined to say both are dangerous.
    Unmarried adults are more critical of alcohol than those who are married. Those with children at home think alcohol is more dangerous than those without kids living with them.

    Change indeed.
     
  2. At the same time, 49% of people think of weed as either more or equally as harmful as alcohol.
     
  3. It all depends on the use of each substance. Getting high is better for you than getting drunk. No question about that. But smoking a joint everyday is worse than drinking a glass of red wine everyday. While it won't give you cancer like cigarette smoke, inhaling any kind of smoke isn't good for your lungs in the long term. Vaping is another story however. As for each substance's danger to society, alcohol is worse hands down.
