10 Reasons Marijuana Is Better Than Alcohol

In states with recreational marijuana, it's a tough choice for those turning 21. Which should I experience first? Personally, since being 21, I've already lost my interest in drinking. Maybe it's just the traumatic drinking and driving car accident I was involved in because of my friend, but drinking has started to lose the appeal for me almost entirely. I've been way more of a stoner recently than a drinker and this is why.

1. There's no hangover after smoking weed

Giphy

Everyone who has had a hangover KNOWS they're the worst. You wake up and your head is pounding and you can literally feel how dehydrated you are. Not a fun time.

2. I've never gotten sick from weed, but alcohol had made me throw up more times than I'd like to admit

Giphy

I absolutely detest when I can feel my drunk self getting too drunk. I can literally feel the need to puke and then I know the rest of the night is going to be a rough one.

3. One of the worst things that can happen from being too stoned is getting super sleepy

Giphy

This can be a major worst case scenario if you're at a party. It's time to go home and go snooze, my friend.

4. Being too stoned can make way for some mild hallucinations

Giphy

Hallucinations are pretty wild, but they're usually kind of fun as long as you don't let yourself get too freaked out by them.

5. On the other side, being too drunk can make you feel like the entire room is spinning

Giphy

This is one of the worst feelings because the only thing that can stop it is to lie on the ground and hope that you're not about to throw up.

6. Marijuana smells way better than alcohol tastes

Giphy

Some alcohol tastes straight up nasty and I can't even handle it.

7. If you forget to eat a meal before drinking, RIP

Giphy

Eating a properly balanced meal is ESSENTIAL for surviving a night out. I try to eat a meal containing bread because it's known for absorbing alcohol easily.

8. My tolerance for alcohol is much lower than my tolerance for weed

Giphy

This is mostly because I always forget to eat a meal before I go out drinking which is the WORST decision. But I can still smoke more weed (and have more fun doing it) than I can ever drink.

9. Knowing your limits with alcohol is ESSENTIAL, but with weed, it's harder to overdo it

Giphy

It's taken me quite a while to learn my limits with alcohol, but with weed it never was that big of a deal. Smoking too much and drinking too much are COMPLETELY different. First of all, you can literally DIE when you drink too much. Second of all, you can't literally die when you smoke too much (that I know of).

10. It's ~usually~ easier for me to function stoned than it is to function while drunk

Giphy

Drunk me has very little social conduct and doesn't give a F*CK in comparison to stoned me. Stoned me just wants to do my own thing and not bother anyone else.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
