How much harder do we have to be on alcohol than we are now? It is a rare person whose usage of drinks that effects his work, is allowed to continue working. Drivers who drink, are jailed. The vast majority of bums on the streets used MJ, Heroin, Opium, Cocaine, Meth or other DRUGS. Vast swaths of homeless shelters are full of DRUG users, not boozers.

...but it’s not like booze is suddenly 10 times more powerful than it was 40 years ago...

It doesn't have to be. It does it's magic even if it's 3.2 beer or grain alcohol.

The pot of today is far more potent and evolved than the Maui Wowie and Acapulco Gold from the 1960s and 70s.

The current strains of pot have been selectively bred and even genetically engineered to make them both far more potent and to produce a wider range of novel psychoactive cannabinoid strains that never previously existed in nature and have been engineered to produce more intense psychoactive effects .

And the new strains produce so much THC that they have to be pruned to prevent the plants from sagging under the weight of the THC laden buds.

Our new pot is crazy stuff that can be a very hard core drug compared to it's old time

Apparently we need to be a lot harder. From an “AI Overview” in Google:

>According to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 28.9 million people in the United States ages 12 and older have an alcohol use disorder (AUD).<

There are MANY “boozers” in homeless shelters.

This can’t be true, pot heads have assured us for years that it cures everything, including pimples!

Cloward-Piven. Overrun the medical system driving up costs and forcing people into government programs. It’s happening in every industry.

“Legalizing weed is a tool for a plan to destabilizing a society and it’s working.”

That’s why George Soros bankrolls all the legalization efforts.

“ Between smoking weed and vaping, you don’t stand a chance. Legalizing pot is working as planned.”

I’ve been smoking weed since they scheduled Vicodin. I use it for pain relief. Works like a charm. I have two rules for myself. I don’t use it during business hours and I won’t use it if I need to drive. But as soon as my computer is turned off for the day, I’m smoking.

—”Remember 3,000 years...”

For about 2.900 years, fermented beverages were the only SAFE long-term storage of fluids... mostly low alcohol content.

The Pilgrims’ beer supply on the Mayflower was rationed at about one gallon per person per day...

Martin Luther was a home brewer of note, some say it was his wife that made the best.
Martin Luther’s Beer Recipe comes out around 4-5% ABV

Because beer boils during the brewing process...
Drinking water away from home was to take a big chance.

"Of the numerous lies foisted upon the sheep over the past 30 years or so by the government-run mainstream media, one of the most egregious and sinister is that cannabis ranks somewhere around cotton candy in terms of harmlessness."

Similar to the early days of cigarettes, artificial sweeteners and covid vaccines.

Worse yet is the babies in the womb soaking in it for 9 months. Big gov med. overs that up by not testing, routinely.
Just lik they cover up dangerous chemical abortion.

Based on both my professional and personal experience, meth, aka cowboy cocaine-does more damage to humans than other drugs-on a par with heroin and cheaper/easier to buy. I’ve seen users so psychotic-paranoia, hearing voices, delusions, etc-that they are no longer able to function outside of a controlled environment like a psych facility.

Last year, a 22 year old local man who was a hard core meth addict disappeared from the rehab facility his family had committed him to, went home late one night and shot both his parents to death. Neighbors called the sheriff, and the guy was found hiding in the barn-now he is facing life in prison-too bad he didn’t off himself. It is like the effects of LSD seen in the 70’s, but with more of a drift to violence-and suicide attempts are common. It makes “real” cocaine look like a party drug...
