This is one of the reasons I hate weighted GPAs - it’s causing you to consider not taking a course that is obviously worth your time for one that produces a “higher” GPA, when in reality, an A in either is a good grade. In fact, the organic chemistry A might actually be more impressive to colleges, but because your school only offers one version of the class, it’s not honors.

My advice to you as a future STEM major with organic in your future is to take organic, lower GPA be damned. It will prove to be far more valuable, will probably be just as if not more impressive to colleges, and any reduction in your weighted cummulative GPA (which is of limited worth) will be miniscule.
