The Potential deadly Alcohol and Marijuana Quiz!
Welcome to the Potentially Deadly Alcohol-Marijuana Quiz! The purpose of this site is to test your knowledge about the relative harms of alcohol and marijuana. There are 10 questions in all.

Here’s the catch – and it's why the quiz is "potentially deadly": If you get a question wrong, you will have to "take a shot" of alcohol. At the end, we will let you know what your blood alcohol content (BAC) would be if you actually had that many shots. We will also tell you how that much alcohol would affect you physically.

Are you ready to put your life on the line and see what you know? If so, just click "Take the Quiz". Good luck!

Go here to take the quiz! http://marijuana-alcoholquiz.com/home/

Let me know how you did...

I only had to take two shots of Alcohol... I'm perfectly safe to drive!

:smoke:

1. Feeling fine

Congratulations! You did a great job on the quiz. As a result, your level of intoxication is so low you would appear basically sober to others.

5. Same here..
The only questions I missed were underestimations on my part RE: alcohol's dangers. Not surprising since I don't drink.

28. Uh-huh. Only missed that one as well. And I didn't believe their answer, but I am prone
to believe in science, so they are probably correct - in the slightest sense. Too bad Amerika does not embrace fact and science as it (we) should.

3. 0.01 BAC, feeling fine....
I only missed one, and I STILL think marijuana is completely non-addictive. I distrust the data that suggest some low level of addiction for some people as simply too noisy to have confidence in. So I missed that one question on the quiz.

6. I missed that question also... Maybe for some there is a small level of addiction..
I smoke a lot of Marijuana... but some days I do not smoke at all and on those days I sometimes find myself feeling irritable... is that Addiction? I'm not so sure... One thing I can say for sure is marijuana is truly harmless. Time to end this stupid war on personal freedoms.

11. I wouldn't say it's harmless..
But it is RELATIVELY harmless compared to most things we consume.

IMO the benefits far outweigh the possible harm, not including prison of course which is a side effect of prohibition, not the substance.

14. Not totally harmless but it's more of a lazyness issue in my opinion...
I have some friends who still to this day sit on the couch and do nothing but get high... 10 years after High School...

Of course I love them but get outside! Get some sunshine! Get a Job!

Is it the marijuana or is it just pure lazyness? Does marijuana cause lazyness? Not for me... but some of my friends I could argue maybe it does attribute... but tend to think it is just something about them...


I'm an educated American who now works full time and I pay my taxes so give me my peace and legalize this nearly harmless substance that is one of the few Highs I can enjoy...

Freedom for the WIN!

18. I bet there are quite a bit more lazy people in the world that don't smoke pot.
Locking yourself indoors to smoke is a result of prohibition, not a symptom of being high.

13. I'm a daily toker too, and I'd argue that on the odd occasion...
...when I don't smoke and miss it, what I'm missing is the stress relief that I mentally associate with marijuana use. Most of the time my SO and I smoke together in the evenings, and it's a little ritual we both enjoy not only for the gentle intoxication, but also-- maybe primarily-- for the stress relief that follows. I think a lot of that is actually indirect, more the result of the ritualized daily behavior than the direct result of being stoned, but certainly pot smoking is stress reducing in general anyway.

Mostly, if I don't smoke pot, I don't feel any adverse affects at all, but when I do the most common is stress related anxiety. If that's true for others, I suspect much of that "addiction" data misidentifies anticipation of stress as "marijuana withdrawal." I've smoked a LOT of pot in my 55 years and never experienced ANYTHING I would characterize as withdrawal.

16. Thats a good point... I have not experiance withdrawls either... Stress is the real issue
Good post and it makes sense to me. I have to agree I've done many drugs and struggled with addiction and Marijuana is nothing like the crazy urges and pain I felt associated with meth. I'm thankful I got free from that terrible addiction. But marijuana has never made me feel that hell... more like heaven on earth...

12. 2 Wrong -Still Too Drunk to Drive
The Verdict
You had 2 questions incorrect!


Select your gender and weight range to see what your blood alcohol content would be if you consumed this many shots in one hour:

Drinks 2
Weight 100-120
Gender Female
BAC 0.07
Too drunk to drive

You did pretty well on the quiz, but not well enough to keep you in the driver's seat. Based on your blood alcohol content, you would likely have slowed reflexes, diminished reasoning, and problems with depth perception and peripheral vision. You would also become more extroverted, have a significant loss of inhibitions, and possibly suffer in terms of sexual performance

15. Had to miss a couple on purpose just so I could have a couple of shots but I have an issue with #4
Less than 5% on the crime thing, when lots and lots of violent crime is due to territorialism when it comes to the SALE of marijuana seems a little low to me. In fact, a LOT low. I grew up on the edge of South Central L.A., and this just doesn't seem possible at all from what I've seen with my own eyes.

19. Seems like all the more reason to Legalize if you ask me...
Don't you think we would see significant drops in the crime rates in Soulth Central and other high crime areas? Or are gang bangers always going to have a reason to want to fight with rival gangs?

25. Uh.
"I only had to take two shots of Alcohol... I'm perfectly safe to drive!"


Not in a zero tolerance state like Michigan. 0.8 on a breathalizer and your ass is grass here.

I'm surprised my state hasn't banned alcohol altogether.

26. Did OK
Congratulations! You did a great job on the quiz. As a result, your level of intoxication is so low you would appear basically sober to others.

missed #6.

Haven't had a drink in 23 years and don't miss it. Another friend of Bill.
