As a former alcoholic, I'd vote for pot. Much less dangerous, not addictive, and actually benefits people medically. There are so many benefits to hemp as well.
I can't smoke pot, it makes me dumb and sleepy, but I have no problem with others using it.

If Pot were legal to be a pretty, green plant in folks' backyards, again, then I'd vote for pot, wine or beer and making Illegal, all of the manmade crud, but then I'm dreaming.

Personally, I would not use any of it, except a glass of redwine when flying. Heck, it relaxes a person and is helps to thin the blood, too.

My bottom line is that I think the human condition of needing to change the consciousness is truly pitiful. I meditate to become more sober and in-control. It was the seventies and I did enough escaping and "getting high."
Now, I see that each "high" is actually a new Low.

What's my take? Both, lol

Seriously, pot has a lot less side effects, but alcohol doesn't make me thirsty, so......

However, I do think it should be legal, I just wish I could get away from it. One of the not-so-great benefits of living on the California coast...there's almost no getting away from weed, it's everywhere.

As for alcohol, I do enjoy a drink here and there. I like going wine tasting, I like tasting craft beers and I really enjoy making up cocktails. However, I rarely get 'drunk', I just like the taste.

My vote goes for alcohol
I would rather have a couple of potheads in the next car then a violent drunk.

It's not clean.

I've gotten into plenty of trouble drinking, but I never care for pot.

Then smoke alone. Even when its just me and the wife . She has her own to smoke and so do I.

You sure are obsessed with gays. No surprise given your name.

To answer the OP: neither. I can't stand drunken idiots or loser potheads so I avoid both.

Freedom for all, to do as they wish and to suffer the consequences of their own actions, good or bad.
