Which is worse for you: Soda or Marijuana?

Assuming you're just drinking the soda, and not smoking the marijuana, I think it's pretty straight forward which is worse.

When you combine the health risks of the way most people choose to ingest marijuana with the current ones of the drug itself, and then compare it to soda, though, the results are different, and lean in favor of smoking marijuana as the one being worse for you.

BzzzzzzzzT!!! Most soda drinkers (like me) drink several a day. Most pot smokers (like me) smoke a couple a week. It's all about quantity. ;)

Oh you know the statistic on that? Could you show it to me?

Quantity is in fact another piece that could be added to my argument, and would further lead to me choosing the side i chose, which presumable is the side you agree with.

If we have equal amounts per square inch of Marijuana and Soda, I also would agree the soda is worse for you, considering the negative things soda has in it, compared to the number of negative things marijuana has in it. So what are you disputing exactly?

Soda is worse for you by far. Idiot on the right didn't understand the question apparently.

Strictly speaking, when asking 'which is worse for you' you're always comparing possible effects. The possibility of arrest is a legitimate criteria here.

Marijuana is a plant with many good side effects. Soda on the other hand is man made is not very good for the Human body. Marijuana can treat many diseases, Soda only cures your thirst.

Soda has not been proven to cause obesity . Also the man made argument is invalid when you consider that the majority of medicine is man made . Also , it being a plant is bad argument as well because their are tons of plants that can kill you . Marijuana has been proven to cause short term memory loss and loss of reaction . It also has a possibility to cause lung problems . Marijuana may treat many diseases but it can only treat them . And the majority of diseases it treats has much more effective treatments with fewer side effects . Also , you say your for marijuana but at the bottom of your statement it says your think soda is better

marijuana demotivates you in completing productive and prominent tasks that are essential to be completed. it devaluates the way you view life and it is scientifically proven that is causes schizophrenia.

Side: Soda, duh

I'd just like to point out that you can do several things with soda that you shouldn't be able to do with something you ingest. You shouldn't be able to clean an engine or a toilet with something you drink. Cannabis does have other uses, but it can be used in other ways besides getting THC out of it. Rope, clothing and gasoline? Sure, some people have used it for treatment of things like anorexia and nausea from chemotherapy, but is that a bad thing? Plus the government can be making money off of it big time, with things like retail and taxing on it. I mean, cigarettes are legal, and they contain tar, ammonia and carbon monoxide. Marijuana is illegal, and it's a goddamn plant. Yes, there is THC that enters your system when you smoke it, but at least it's a natural chemical.

A little soda here and there probably won't cause you a great deal of harm. There are many other foods out there which are not very good for you yet people still consume them. The main problem with marijuana is that it's ILLEGAL. Personally, I do not wish to be caught with an illegal substance.

Where is the list of all chemicals added to make Cannabis grow faster and bigger? Those things are far from healthy, especially grown somewhere in Afghanistan who knows how. Cannabis is addictive and it does cause harm to brain. We all know how pot heads looks like and that they can barely speak. Car accidents with people on pot must in global scale go to millions per year..

Without Water + Sugar you will die.

Without Cannabis, nothing happens.

I smoke pot but I have no need to pretend that it's some super magical cancer healing, dead people people resurrecting miracle... It's a drug a fan one and very dangerous one, but still...
