Kinda but a lot of different effects, like when you drink and you can't handle your liquor you vomit, you get hangovers... Weed: you act like a fool >.> and you get hungry after so slightly different but Beer is more casual depending what you drink and weed is like more secret and the problem is 2nd smoking you don't want to accidentally get high because someone breathed in your face, regular smoking is kinda harmless unless you recently quit >.>
