Neither are exactly health food. Despite what's been said about moderate amounts of wine being good for cholesterol or whatever, I'm sure there are healthier alternatives. At the end of the day, it's all about enjoying what works for you, and if that happens to be something that's not good for you, it needs to be done in moderation.

Not being a doctor or having any kind of knowledge of medicine, I'd say pot is likely less harmful than alcohol. But I don't like the high from weed, and I don't drink alcohol to get drunk. I enjoy wine with dinner, scotch before bed, and beer when I'm playing with the band or working on the car. I wish they were all available in non-alcoholic forms!

As said before, pot is smoked solely to get high. Alcohol is very frequently consumed without the intention of getting drunk. But the fact that pot is illegal and countless billions are spent every year losing a "war" on drugs instead of earning tax revenue from it is absolutely asinine.
