Is drinking better than smoking pot?

Marijuana is less addictive than alcohol, although it can still be addictive. Alcohol is known to be generally safe when used moderately, but alcohol abuse can lead to liver failure, cardiovascular problems, and has been implicated in several forms of cancer. Thousands of people die from alcohol use and abuse every year, many of them from alcohol-related accidents of various kinds. Marijuana smoke has more carcinogens than cigarettes. It is difficult or impossible to overdose on marijuana. Alcohol overdose can lead to death.
