Very few people who smoked pot end up like your sister....tiny percent

We have what......200 plus million current or former pot smokers now versus very few hard drug addicts relatively speaking... but not counting alcoholics

And pot and heroin are not alike whatsover...pot is not an escape drug

I take it you have never smoked it?

I don’t endorse any drug....nor have used any for many years but in my personal experience normal pot use is on par with normal alcohol use social detriment wise

And is no more likely to correlate to heroin addiction than alcohol or tobacco other than both being illegal mostly

One does not wake up and say... hey pot is just not doing it so ill be a herlin addict

Pot today is rather potent....no one could be immune from it...its like 100 proof and up

Truly there is much much more connection effect wise between alcohol heroin or sedatives...and othe opiods of course
This is first hand knowledge speaking...not reading or observing

You may wonder...well just what is that old redneck addicted to?

Well buddy....
Aint but one thing on Gods green earth getting do workef up over and throwing your money and good sense away over

a fine woman....and that special treat that comes with em
A fine addiction i plan on overdosing on one day

Beautiful women OH I CERTAINLY DO HEAR YOU PAL

You must have smoked some very ineffective pot. If it isn't ‘an escape drug’, then what is it? One hit and your mind is in a different place. Get good and stoned and your perspective changes on everything. Think about the impersonations people do of people smoking pot. “Hey man, you ever think about how belly button lint gets in there?” Manc, you are completely correct in your perspective on pot. It's especially insidious because defenders, like the otherwise intelligent folks here, make it out to be relatively harmless. And these views get passed on to our children.
