[Skooz]

I have to agree with you. I have no idea what the effects (if any) of occasional pot smoking are because I was a chronic user from the first time I smoked it until I stopped 11 years later. I had some very significant side effects that lasted for years after, and some of which have not gone away completely though I haven't smoked any since Feb 1988. But then, I was smoking a lot of pot every day.

You sound like me. I first smoked at 14 in 1971 and a year later I was a daily smoker till 1983. All through high school and college and into the beginning of my professional life. I was traveling all over the world on business by then to places where pot was plentiful and cheap but I soon found that the whimsical nature of pot did not mix with my fairly risky life and I gave it up....never looked back. I just knew it was over for me. I have continued to always be around a lot of pot but I only smoked once on a dare from my ex-wife in 1991. She didn't believe I was once the big dope smoker I claimed so one night after a little tequilla, i indulged. It felt like I had never quit. She went to bed and I sat up outside and smoked up her whole stash of skunk....she never dared me again and that was the last time...lol


I rarely drink either and never ever to excess.....but I do smoke cigars daily . Big fat La Gloria Cubana Charlemagnes....there is no substitute in my book except maybe a Cuban Bolivar or Trinidad or Sancho Panza.....my only vice left...sigh.
