Really? Of all the people I have known who smoked pot, got lazy and fell asleep - that’s it.

I think I would probably have to agree. My dad was an alcoholic for at lest 45 years of his life...sober as a young teenager and sober as an old man, but in between, an alcoholic. Not a mean drunk, and it never affected his work, but he would always come home and begin drinking. It was common to see him passed out with his head down on his arms at night.

Funny. Until I was in my mid-twenties, some part of me thought EVERYONE’S father did that.

Alcohol is a lot of fun, but...when it gets you in its grip, it can be evil and nasty. The most unpleasant thing my dad ever said to me when he was drunk was when I was 14 years old and he walked in on my friend and I looking at a Playboy magazine...he slurred at us “You wouldn’t know what to do with it if you had it...”

Not even nasty, but actually kind of funny (to me). Never raised a hand to any of us. He was a 30 year vet of the naval service; WWII, Korea and Vietnam, and I wondered what it was that had caused him to drink.

I have concluded it probably wasn’t anything. He was just someone who got nailed by alcohol, and that was that.

But he got sober 15 years before he died, and it was a wonderful thing. Like meeting a new person...

Pot is also associated with memory loss. Go figure.
