rarely feel the need to consume intoxicants, but if i feel feisty, cannabis>alcohol. if you like not having hangovers, enhanced music and sex, and thinking about things in novel ways, then its cannabis over alcohol. cannabis promotes peace and alcohol promotes discord, cannabis potentially promotes creativity and alcohol promotes sleep (one can counteract the possible soporific effects of mj with coffee), and high conversations are more intriguing than drunk ones. just some, assuredly trite, opinions. not saying cannabis is panacea, it just seems more thought provoking and intp friendly. alcohol strikes me as a dead end, intellectually and in terms of personal growth. something for adolescence and the perfect poison for frat boys and esfps who never really grow up.
