"There is a HUGE difference between physical addition and physcological addiction. Smokers have a strong and controling PHYSICAL addiction to nicotine. And that would be 4:20, not 4:30."

Agreed. Your addiction is also strong. Physically, you don't need it, but mentally you think you need it. The difference is not so huge!

I suspect you are not, nor have ever been a regular smoker of cigarettes.

Actually, long term tobacco use creates a deficiency in the brain. The addiction is chemical, not psycological. The U of Minnesota Medical Center has some researchers that were working on a "vaccine" that counters this change.

With THC, there is no such fundamental change. With long term, heavy usage, THC can build up in certain portions of the brain affecting short term memory and cognative functions. Cessation of usage and time clean out this build up.

Alcohol destroys portions of the brain via swelling of the tissues due to displacement of water with alcohol. This swelling is where the hang-over comes from.

From a purely physiological stand point, dope is definately better for recreational usage than tobacco or alcohol.
