Yep. What’s the point of drinking alcohol other than to get a good buzz and to become uninhibited?

"One takes it in a brownie or cookie for an even more immediate effect -- sometimes a deadly effect."

No way that marijuana in a brownie or cookie has a "more immediate effect." Quite the opposite in fact.

One feels the effects of marijuana in a pretty short time after taking a few puffs, whereas it takes a pretty long time after ingesting it to feel any effect at all. ong time.

In fact, the danger of having it in a cookie is that it takes so long to feel the effect that one keeps eating the cookies thinking that the lack of a "buzz" is due to eating inadequate amounts of cookies.

Moreover, there is a noticeable difference in the effect of marijuana depending on whether one inhales or ingests it.

Not that I'd know from personal experience, of course. But that's what I've heard . . . (cough, cough).

Let me clarify that by saying, in the company of others. If you do it while alone, you REALLY have a drinking problem.

Yes, I know, R. Emmitt Tyrell is a fascist from way back. I guess he’s bitter that people used to think he made sense and that’s very definitely not the case anymore.

And you are full of it, noobie

The increased level of THC ... This little known fact

It is a very well known fact when buying the stuff or buying the seeds on the internet. It is also a well known fact the THC blood tests are increasingly prevalent.

Who would ruin a perfectly good scotch by adding soda? :-0

One of those authors who I wish would STFU and go away. They obviously know nothing of what they write.

Good scotch (single malt) is properly ‘opened up’ with a few drops of distilled water, not diluted with soda water. Not to dilute it but to make the aromatic elements more volatile and detectable.

Marijuana is neither completely harmless nor especially dangerous. As with nearly everything, moderation and more moderation is the key to enjoyment, no one getting extremely stoned every day is going to make much of their life, with the exception perhaps of some entertainers or such, but the occasional toke is not going turn someone into a slacker or drug addict.

“But, c’mon... people drink alcohol PRIMARILY for the buzz.”

Clearly we didn’t invent alcoholic beverages for the flavour. Yep, people drink for the buzz. They may pretend otherwise, they may even delude themselves about it, but that’s what I think.

“Let me clarify that by saying, in the company of others. If you do it while alone, you REALLY have a drinking problem.”

I will occasionally have several drinks, enough to catch a buzz, my myself. I don’t have a drinking problem. I often go weeks, months even, without a drink. I can take it or leave it. But sometimes I like to take it.

Sort of how I feel about Scotch, especially the single-malt stuff. One tiny sip of it makes me feel nauseated.

In 1979 when we were stationed the last time in Germany (Mainz) the ClassVI Store had a stash of Rommel’s Scotch for sale. My husband bought a couple of bottles and we brought them back and later donated them for a charity raffle. He didn’t drink Scotch and neither did I
