they are completely different. that loss of motor skills thing you get when your drunk - thats intoxication. for the most part you dont get that at all when your high. this will vary from person to person, of course, but usually, rather than making you loud and unafraid to say anything on your mind, like alcohol, pot makes you keep those things in, sometimes. it is a psychedelic, so it has a whole different side to it - it can make some people really on edge and paranoid, and it has been known to cause occasional panic attacks. unlike alcohol, it is possible to freak out on weed, but not very common. the situation you're in is probably a bigger influence on this than how high you are.
dont get me wrong, though, this isnt an intense, edgy high, its very relaxing, warm and comfortable, sometimes trippy. also its much easier to look sober when your stoned than when your drunk. the way i see it, if you need to, like if you find yourself in a realy bad situation, you can sort of push the high to the back of your head and it will go away. you really have a lot more control over yourself. seeing the police, for example, can be really sobering. all of a sudden, no more fun time, we have to be sober, and smart, and get out of this situation, so bam, the police kill your high
i like marijuana very much. i dont really care for alcohol, being drunk, or waking up the next morning. the stuff tastes bad, makes you act stupid, then makes you feel like shit the next day. its fun once in a while, but for the most part, i think alcohol sucks. i stick to my herb, because its green and fruity and good, and it makes me a more relaxed person
and i've never had a pot hangover....but i have woken up still high a couple times lol
and hey lets not forget the fact that alcohol is toxic. it doesnt take much more alcohol to die than it does to get really drunk - its not hard to kill yourself with alcohol, you can do it with a big bottle of vodka from the grocery store - just drink yourself to death. it happens pretty often. alcohol claims somewhere around 300,000 lifes per year in the US. but marijuana? none at all. in fact its literally impossible to overdose on marijuana by smoking it. it is possible by eating, though, but youd still have to eat a shitload of pot
