"If you think of smoking pot like drinking booze, think of all the things you can’t do while you’re drinking."

Drunks may be less likely to start themselves on fire while driving.

Only the most inexperienced users of cannabis will "OD" or have a "bad trip"...and set themselves on fire, as you suggest, but even with newbies, that is so unlikely to happen. When people first experience the psychoactive effects of the THC in MJ, they may not thoroughly enjoy it because the "high" can be very intense and maybe even a bit frightening. However, that is normal and with practice and semi-regular use of MJ, the effects become more quieting and comfortable. I would say that this is true for every user and for those who were upset and scared off by the initial effects, please don't assume that people who are still smoking are getting as stoned as you did before you said "never again". It's like walking into a haunted house as a kid. You might be scared by what's in there but after you walk through it a few times, it's not so bad and you end up laughing at all the stuff that freaked you out the first time.
