well, weed isn't for everyone.
but for me i actually find it to be a much more positive experience than alcohol.
i am unfortunately one of those people who can get, lets say offensive, when i have drunk too much.
i find that if i just have a couple of joints before a night out, maybe a couple of pints out and then another joint or so when i get in that the night tends to be good. even if it goes wrong it's funny.
yes, your short term memory can be affected. this, combined with the effect that cannabis can have on your short term memory (sorry) can leave you a little confused at times. i'll just weigh things up for you
alcohol;hangover, liver damage, sometimes vomiting, sometimes makes people want to fight, can make you depressed. loss of balance, vision, self control, inhibitions. can make sex impossible.
weed; a bit slower the next day (never smoke the day before a sparring session). makes everything funny, even if something pisses you off you can't be bothered to do anything about it. can make sex better.
for me anyway weed is better.
