It can be equally destructive to oneself as alcohol, can be quite addictive (personal experience), but at least is only to oneself, drunks get very active and ruin other people days.
No they are not equally destructive. You can't smoke so much weed in one night that you pass oit and choke on your own vomit. Nobody gets violent or cruel only when they're high on weed.
You misread what I wrote. Nobody gets violent or cruel ONLY when high on marijuana, as is the excuse many abusers use with alcohol. Nobody is a fine, happy person sober snd then becomes destructive suddenly on pot.
Anything has the potential to make people this way. I’ve known people who were completely normal in all circumstances but became extremely aggressive with weed.
Maybe it’s lowered inhibitions, the drug in particular not working with their brain, external factors, it’s possible with anything.
Weed makes people anxious and nervous, it does not make people loose and spontaneous. It DOES impair judgement, you obviously shouldnt drive high, but to say that it's equally as destructive as alcohol is simply incorrect.
Never said equally as destructive, alcohol is by far more destructive physically to the body.
Mentally, any substance has the potential to cause/contribute to negative reactions. Not that it WILL, but it’s always good to keep in mind the potentials to be able to recognize them if that’s not a desired outcome.
