It’s a good thing that alcohol is completely safe and has no harmful affects upon its users or society at large.
Of course it's not, but we tried prohibiting it and look what happened.
Studies have shown that moderate alcohol consumption yields some health benefits. The key is moderation.
This study on MJ seems to suggest that even a small amount of pot consumption can result in neurological damage.
These two things are neither equal or the same.
Hey bong man, we are discussing weed not alcohol.
Personally I think alcohol is way more detrimental than Pot.
But everybody handles themselves or reacts differently.
I know guys that “Wake and Bake” and are on top of their game. I’ve worked alongside of top exec’s from the CEO and all his top exec’s that smoked while running a multi-multi million dollar business. Well over $100 million in revenue.
Some people get paranoid and just want to chill, while others can get extraordinarily creative.
From my experience, alcohol may provide an initial boost of energy and creativity, but lends itself to mind numbing indifference.
There are a lot of really smart and creative people that are complete social misfits. With one or two drinks, they begin to feel comfortable in expressing themselves. Some can’t stop drinking.
Alcohol is highly addictive where as pot is not.
I’m old school, and recall “Lemmon 714’s”, drunk in a pill.
I recall buying dime bags of “Mexican” weed.
I recall “angel dust” (seriously F**ked up S**t)
I don’t smoke pot today, but would rather have access to pot than access to alcohol. Alcohol is evil. Vodka is really evil.
When someone smokes a joint, they don’t want another joint and another joint. That’s the difference.
Maybe it’s just me.
Of course not. Which is why these items should not be used by the under 18 year old crowd.
By adults is another matter.
We’re talking about marijuana....pay attention!
No one denies the effects of alcohol, laregly because of the many deaths associated with drunk driving. Perhaps now, more studies will be done on it’s long term effects and ‘dosages’ recommended. Pot heads have no idea what a can of worms they’ve opened. I agree that casual users shouldn’t be clogging up prisons and such, but there are effects that shouldn’t be ignored.
