1. Weed won’t Kill You

It’s both ironic and hypocritical that alcohol is perfectly legal and readily available to anyone over the age of 21 in the United States, yet a completely natural substance with no record of EVER causing death due to overdose is classified as a Schedule 1 drug. Even the fattest of dabs won’t be able to take you down, although you might end up feeling like you are in heaven.

2. No Hangover

The worst thing cannabis will ever be able to do to a heavy user is make them a little foggy and very hungry for a couple of hours. It’s that simple; no hangover, no deep morning regrets, and no laying on the bathroom floor waiting for last night’s dinner to make a reappearance.

3. Natural

Don’t panic, it’s organic! While alcoholic beverages can be filled with sugar, dyes, and artificial preservatives that can take years off your life, marijuana’s simplicity is truly mesmerizing. Straight from the plant to the blunt, you will never have to question what is going into your body when it comes to good weed.

4. No Liquor Goggles

Sometimes you don’t want to roll the dice and potentially wake up in the morning next to someone who is… not your type, to put politely. We totally get that. Fortunately, you have other options when it comes to having a good time that will never give you the dreaded liquor goggles. You can smoke it, you can vape it, and hell, you can even eat it! Weed wins this contest, no question about it.

5. Less Long-Term Effects

Your teacher in high school health class probably tried to scare you with all the horrible long-term effects that alcohol will inevitably do to your body over time if you are not careful. Honestly, we are a little scared too. Surprisingly, weed not only doesn’t give long-term users the harmful side effects of alcohol, studies have found that it may have powerful cancer killing properties. In that case, you might not want to pass up the next hit someone offers you. Who knows, it could be lifesaving.

6. Numerous Health Benefits

No doctor practicing modern medicine has EVER prescribed a shot of liquor or a beer to a patient for a real medical condition. On the flip side, millions of happy U.S. citizens have been prescribed marijuana for almost every ailment imaginable. Do you have chronic pain? Weed can fix it. Do you have unshakeable nausea? Weed can fix it. Do you have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Weed can fix it. We are starting to feel like Sam from the movie Holes (2003), but you get the point.

7. Decrease Violence

Incredible new findings are showing consistently that while alcohol drastically increases the occurrence for domestic violence in the home, cannabis actually DECREASES THIS RISK. You heard that right. It’s been known for decades now that weed has the tendency to mellow users out, but now it can even be used to promote nonviolence and world peace.
