Are you implying smoking pot = drinking alcohol?

[Trampled by Lambs]

I have known too many regular pot smokers in my day that were also perfectly productive, intelligent people. Would they be a little sharper if they never touched the stuff? Maybe... probably. Have I known people that got "carried away" and allowed Maryjane to have a negative effect on their life? Sure. But it is hardly as destructive as this article would have you believe.

I've seen much more damage caused by alchohol. (I know, I know.. the dopers favorite argument.. But its true, at least in my experience.)

I'm implying that the same devastating effects can occur with alcohol... and much like many people can drink without ruining their lives, many people can smoke pot without ruining their lives.
