Question About Weed Liquor and Cigarettes?
Question by hotreez718: Question about weed liquor and cigarettes?
I have a question that I was always wondering.On tv they make it seem like smoking weed and cigarettes is bad.Im not sayin its not bad but its not worse than liquor and beer.For some odd reason liquor and beer get promoted on tv,billboards internet etc. encouraging people to drink it such as Corana Budweiser,Budlight etc.
I find that to be quite odd.Yet nobody complains about liquor being promoted.I really dont understand this.there’s a lot of underage kids who drink alcohol and smoke but yet alcohol still gets promoted on tv and stuff.
Dont get me wrong I smoke weed and drink ocaassionally(dont smoke cigs).I was just curious and wanted to know the answer to this question.
Why does weed and cigarettes get downplayed but liquor and beer doesnt?Why is luquor and weed getting promoted when its just as bad if not worse then weed and cigarrettes

beer will only kill you if you drink large quanities, cigarets will kill you and can make birth defects making life challenging for others and weed is just illegal

Hmm.. good point.
But ciggarette brands DO get promoted.
& I don’t think they promote weed because isn’t it
like illegal? Ha. Sorry, I’m not well informed.
alcohol only messes u up if u drink constantly and irresponsibly, cigarettes hurt u always, and weed doesnt do much…it doesnt kill braincells like people say it does, it only kills weak ones that u most likely arent using…if u smoke weed all day everyday u will smoke yourself stupid tho
liquor is made from wheat. Wine is made from grapes. The fermentation is a natural process. It helps to thin out our blood (in moderation) and can be beneficial to your system.
Smoking is made with poisons and added chemicals. It affects others who don’t smoke and costs tax payers millions in health care costs.
i have no clue, alcohol is a lot worse than weed, I don’t know many people who go crazy for smoking weed, or getting in car crashes that smoke weed.
i get your point, but firstly i think that cigarettes are by far more dangerous than drinking or marijuana.
they cause more deaths, are more addicting, etc.
eventually alcohol consumption and advertising on tv will probably disappear much like cigarette smoking/ads.
only recently have cigarette companies not been allowed to heavily advertise
People do complain about it. And weed withdrawals can be just as bad as heroine withdrawals i have seen it and read that in a book and it is a lot worse than cigarettes. notice the labels on alcohol? all of this stuff causes cancer and addiction in the long run. A lot of people don’t even believe that weed is addictive but it is. I’ve been to a rehabilitation hospital and I know that weed always leads to other things whether you like it or not. It’ll lead to pills and stuff and it makes your teeth yellow and makes you stink and unattractive… you know.
alcohol and cig companys fill your heads with bullsh*t anti-weed above the influence propaganda, when there are so many more deaths caused by alcohol and cigs then weed.
Dont ever compaire weed to herion, they are in completely different classes and watching a herion addict “come down” is nothing like loosing your weed high.
Marijuana is not a gateway drug, your minds have been filled by a misinformed society who wants to “blame the plant”.
ok here’s the deal. this was done by our govt. who in the raging 20s first banned liquor but, when mexicans came in with cheap labor and too many began to enter the borders flooding our country the govt. panicked so put a special tax coupon on weed that was a catch 22. so basically no one could get the coupon without having actual weed, hence breaking the law and going to jail. they found that this was effective, however, americans were ticked off that liquor was still illegal and rose up attempting to make it legal again.so to compromise so to speak the govt. *fbi at the time, taxed it huge , which gave the govt. money and in turn made the ppl content. maybe not happy but, content and the new laws made for a good reason for deportation of illegal working immigrants during the depression era. if u look back into the legalization of drugs in america u will find this is redundant behaviour on our govts part, first it began with opium with the chinese immigrants working to build the rail lines. morphine, cocaine, liquor, then weed, then liquor was legalized again, making weed illegally obtained illegal. now they are doing it with things like exstacy, heroin & tobacco. see the twin pairing up one is made illegal for deportation, one taxed to all hell for the govt.
Because of vested interests and phony morality
Alcohol makes money under capitalism(as a matter of fact we digest our food through fermentation). Cigarettes also made money, it is because of health reasons, which were disclosed in 90’s (which is bad for heath), they took a step to make it look bad after a long time. Well Weed doesn’t make money for capitalism, it will give too much freedom and true existentialism, which is bad for capitalism, we need labor slaves to make money(no democracy). Other countries recognize it, why not us. It is all about $ bucks my friend.
there are alot more people who get sick over smoking then liqour pretty much but thats because alot of people smoke like a pack a day i dont know many people who get drunk every single night. but weed is perfectly fine in my books 🙂
