http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11660210For high spirits, it's important to know how to be dope and sprinkle yourself with the magic happy dust so you can enjoy yourself at full speed. I knew alcohol was generally considered rather harmful, but some of the findings surprise me. I didn't know that hemp is more harmful than ecstacy or acid. It's ironic that psychodelic mushrooms are least dangerous according to this study, while the sale of that was outlawed here a few years ago. It would be interesting to read the paper if I had the time, I wonder how the methodology works.

I think alot of the findings are based on what it can do to your personality outside of health reasons, i.e. marijuana makes you lazy and alcohol will make you beat the s*** out of people, because drugs like heroin can get you instantly addicted (effectively ruining your life. Seriously, heroin sucks), while alcohol is less directly harmful to your body and isn't as addictive.
Even outside of that, it's obvious that weed is worse than shrooms, ecstacy, and acid, because weed does some damage to your lungs while the others won't really do anything as long as you don't seriously overdo it.

Have you never heard of vaporizers?
And alcohol does deal quite significant damage to the brain with high dosage, leading to neuron apoptosis.

Yes, I have one. It goes without saying that alcohol is bad in high dosage...

True, but it is more common to consume alcohol in high dosage than, say, cannabis. Though I admit I'm a bit biased on this.
Which does leave you wonder, how do they compare difference in dosages? I really should look for that article.

While it is true nobody ever ODDed on weed, that was not what I said. Anyway, I just read that it would take extremely high amounts of marijuana to die that it is downright impossible to consume that much accidentally (it would take a few ten thousand times the dosage to get high.

I was referring to your statement about how it was more common to consume high amounts of alcohol than weed.

I know, that isn't really the same as overdosing, though.
