Personally I think alcohol is way more detrimental than Pot.
But everybody handles themselves or reacts differently.
I know guys that “Wake and Bake” and are on top of their game. I’ve worked alongside of top exec’s from the CEO and all his top exec’s that smoked while running a multi-multi million dollar business. Well over $100 million in revenue.
Some people get paranoid and just want to chill, while others can get extraordinarily creative.
From my experience, alcohol may provide an initial boost of energy and creativity, but lends itself to mind numbing indifference.
There are a lot of really smart and creative people that are complete social misfits. With one or two drinks, they begin to feel comfortable in expressing themselves. Some can’t stop drinking.
Alcohol is highly addictive where as pot is not.
I’m old school, and recall “Lemmon 714’s”, drunk in a pill.
I recall buying dime bags of “Mexican” weed.
I recall “angel dust” (seriously F**ked up S**t)
I don’t smoke pot today, but would rather have access to pot than access to alcohol. Alcohol is evil. Vodka is really evil.
When someone smokes a joint, they don’t want another joint and another joint. That’s the difference.
Maybe it’s just me.
People do abuse alcohol it is true. But most people have a few drinks and that is it. They self moderate. Pot users on the other hand go for the full blown brain bake - every time. I have never seen someone just take one hit and say no more. They smoke the thing until it burns their fingers while some else is rolling another one.
