>> One does not sit down to a scotch and soda to get blitzed
Scotch diluted with soda water? I disagree — dare be nottin pophisticated bout dat!
One does not necessarily sit down to a neat single malt to get blitzed.
Ditto.
I agree with you, one that enjoys a single malt NEVER spoils it with soda.
The author does not know what he is talking about.
Drop out. From what? There are millions of hard working marijuana smokers who don't want to drop out of anything except perhaps the taxpayer rolls.
Civilized? What is civilized about lying in the gutter in your own vomit, or beating the crap out of your wife & kids.
Regarding taste, there are a multitude of tasty marijuana flavors. That smokers would just as soon smoke ditch weed is ludicrous.
Brownies & cookies take longer for effect than a joint. When smoking, the THC goes directly from the lungs to the blood, whereas eating it takes a while to get through the digestive system. Which method is physiologically quicker? Smoking, by a wide margin. Wrong again, mister author.
This fool can spout all the marijuana myths he wants, but the plain fact is, in a sobriety test, a marijuana smoker will be awake & active long after a boozer is out cold & unable to even speak his own name. Marijuana doesn't cause staggering or double vision. Marijuana does not make people hyper-aggressive like alcohol does. If you drink enough it will kill you. There has never been a recorded death from marijuana consumption. Scientists estimate it would take 40,000 joints to kill you, an impossibility to smoke. A quart of booze will kill most people.
How's that after taste & breath the next morning? How about that head? Can you function properly after a night's drinking? Nope. Are you a little clumsy & muddle headed? Yep. Marijuana causes no hangover, no disorientation the morning after. One will be as sober as a preacher the next morning after a night out toking. Truth is, after a night of drinking until cross-eyed, a few tokes of a joint will stop the nausea, stop the spinning head, uncross the eyes, & slow you down considerably if you have to drive home. I know this from personal experience. Works good.
This guy is so wrong about marijuana that it is irresponsible for him to talk about the subject. I suggest he & his bottle sit alone in his den & pass out.
Totally agree a good single malt neat lying in bed reading and i sleep like a baby. Sadly i know lots of folks who buy expensive scotch and drown it with ice water soda...and slam em back...why???
Absolutely a travesty. Ice is worse, especially when talking about a fine single malt (Islay preferred) - just a wee bit of water to cut the burn.
I have not scrolled through the posts yet, but I am encouraged by the outpouring of sentiment.
