Which is worse: Cocaine or Marijuana???
FACTS
COCAINE:
- Addictive stimulant this is made from leaves of South American coca plant.
- Crack is a form of cocaine made to create a rock crystal (also known as “freebase cocaine”) that can be smoked. The crystals are heated to produce vapors absorbed into bloodstream through the lungs. “Crack” refers to the crackling sound made as it is heated.
- Powdered form either inhaled (snorted) through the nose and absorbed through nasal tissue, or dissolved in water and injected into the bloodstream.
- Intensity and duration of cocaine’s effects depend on how it is administered. Smoking or injecting delivers quickly to bloodstream and brain, producing faster, stronger but shorter-lasting effect than snorting.
- To sustain effects of cocaine use, the drug is often used in a binge pattern, taken repeatedly within a relatively short period of time, at increasingly higher doses.
MARIJUANA:
- Smoked in hand-rolled cigarettes (joints) or in pipes or water pipes (bongs); can also be mixed in food or brewed as a tea.
- Main mind-altering chemical in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.
- Concentrated, resinous form called hashish; has oil is a sticky black liquid.
- Dry, shredded green and brown mixture of leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the Cannabis sativaplant.

All drugs are dangerous period. All drugs can be addictive. Legal status of drug does not determine a persons choice to use it or not. Prohibition gifts the drug trade to organised crime. All drugs should be part of a regulated market with all the proper controls in place to give adults the information necessary to decide on assessing the risks associated with said drug of choice and wether they are worth taking. The vast majority of humans who use any type of drug do so without becoming addicted or needing to go into drug treatment. The problem is not which drug is worse for you, the problem is the draconian laws that allow the state to sanction one substance over another as to what an individual may wish to put into their own body.
Just like chocolate.
