>- Flavor This is obviously not an objective metric of superiority. >- Fills the stomach (can be a disadvantage too, but is advantageous in some situations, e.g. while waiting for dinner to be served at a party) Also subjective, as you realize its inconveniences and give one positive use case. In my experience this bloat is largely uncomfortable and inconvenient. >- Doesn't consume itself (i.e you can set down a drink and come back to it 30 minutes later) This is only true if you leave something lit that is burning, something I doubt most would do on purpose >- Easy to consume a small amount without substantially altering your mental state. Sister comment addresses this well >- No fire/burn risk Valid concern, but there are many common ways to consume weed that don't carry that risk >- Doesn't generate smoke/odor, which is unpleasant for other people and gets in your clothes/furniture Same as above Ironically I think the traditions and rituals around alcohol is the best thing it has going for it, on most "objective" measures weed is regarded superior.
