Right, the different people are trying to get a different sensation.
The sensation people are trying to get with a glass of wine is relaxation. The same with pot. The people who do pot need a bigger dose usually, but I have seen some people take only one puff, so they don't get the same as the person trying to get high. Same as the person who just has a glass of wine vs the person who has three or four.
Your "take" is valid, and so is mine.
I have never used pot, but I do partake of alcohol.
True to a certain point. Today's pot is very high in THC content compared to the pot of my youth. I smoked pot a few times when I was a ute, and it took an entire joint to feel anything. My brother still has a puff now and again, and he has told me that one toke gets him high.
