Taoism is more go with the flow of nature whereas Buddhism is the 4 noble truths (about life being suffering) and following the eightfold path to stop being reborn and escape the life described by the 4 noble truths
Taoism is basically a religion based upon the respect for nature, whereas Buddhism, the more popular religion, focuses on the teachings of Buddha, and getting rid of desire(achieving Nirvana)
I like the idea of Taoism better, but the first answer is right, there are a lot of potheads in that religion.
