I never tried it and have no plans to, I think it smells awful.
I know people that use it that are fine responsible citizens (like a couple of my uncles!) and others that are not like the jagoff tenants my father just had to evict.
I would gather that using a lot of it clearly **cks up the brain somehow. More or less than booze? I don’t know. Probably about the same. I’d advise anyone that uses it to practice moderation.
I’m not a drug warrior type but I expect negative social effects to manifest themselves in Colorado.
“I never tried it and have no plans to...”
Me either. Khent tried it once and it was laced with PCP; he was f***ed up for days.
I’d like to see the lung cancer rates for tokers; the sh*ts smoked unfiltered.
Can pot be “used in moderation”? I thought that a single puff can get you high, thus affecting your reasoning? (I’ve never tried it, nor would I ever do so, but I have plenty of friends who have smoked pot and they all claim that it affects you immediately.) You certainly need more than a sip of wine to affect your brain.
For millennia, the most advanced civilizations in the world have enjoyed alcohol in moderation. There is no similar tradition for use of other drugs. I would never advocate legalizing the recreational use of mind-altering drugs. But then again, I also think that drunkenness, which denies a person of the reasoning ability that is God’s gift to mankind, should be illegal. (If that makes me a bad conservative, tough titties.)
