I actually don't smoke/do pot, so I'm not sure how that was supposed to help me...now that I think about it.

Reality is what it is. I can't even believe you brought alcohol into the picture as a comparison. :stoner

pot is legal in my state.

but let's face it,most everyone who smokes does so on a regular basis and are constantly high. [from the time their feet hit the ground in the morning until they go to bed at night.]
Seriously?
You are ill-informed or just do not have a clue.
Would you say the same thing about people that drink alcohol? Do most of them drink from sunup to sundown? Are they constantly drunk?
No, most are not.

Yes,OK, not everybody in the whole world smokes everyday. Back when weed was $10.00 an oz and plentiful, that's what was done. When and if the fed lets the grow operation begin and it is readily available anytime you want. Then we will talk again. Granted,is was a weaker product back then but the urge to have the satisfaction is too much for "SOME". High cost will hold some peopler back until the weekend but rest assure that the casual smoker will fire one up as soon as he or she gets home from work. Reality is what it is. I can't even believe you brought alcohol into the picture as a comparison. :stoner
But if they do it when they get back home is it hurting anyone?

I know plenty of people that get home and have a glass of wine or a beer during dinner or while watching some tv to chill out.

Its the same thing.

Its comparable.

Some people abuse them. Pot heads and alcoholics. Though if I had to choose which to be around it would be a pothead everytime.

i'm not against pot, but those are not comparable. a single glass of wine or a beer is going to have little effect on a person besides being a little relaxing. i have never heard of someone smoking pot but not doing so to get intoxicated. if you didn't get high after smoking it was for nothing, weed doesn't have the cardiovascular health benefits that a single drink does so noone uses it that way.

WoW helter,
Not everyone that uses pot does so to get some extreme high.
Some just like to smoke A joint and relax.
Just like some people like to have A drink and relax.
So, yes, it is comparable.

i understand some do it to relax. i never said extreme high, i said get high, as in feel the effects of it. when you drink a nightcap you aren't getting drunk but when you smoke a joint you are getting high. it is not comparable.

:banghead I not only find it comparable, I find it to be two different versions of the exact same thing.


You're making an awful lot of blanket statements that are completely wrong.

I'm for legalization and I used to smoke all the time. I'm not trying to talk down on it, but they are not the same, not even close. One drink will calm you, it will improve heart health and actually increases focus contrary to popular belief ( through GABA release). It will not get you intoxicated though, you won't feel it.

Not once did I or any of my friends take just one hit and say I don't wanna feel it I just wanted to smoke a little. No-one smokes without the intention of feeling the effects of smoking, plenty of people have just a drink or two but don't drink to feel the effects of drinking.



having a single drink when you get home is not comparable to smoking a joint. having a lot of drinks is, but that's not what we were talking about if you jumped in half way.

yes, but a single drink won't intoxicate you and a joint will. don't act like you don't understand what i'm talking about.

I think a joint would be comparable to a 6 pack or so. :deal

There are several factors at play here.
Tolerance is one of them.
One joint will not affect everyone the same.
Same with one drink.

Im confused what you guys are arguin....

Weed wins due to the fact of no hangover!....lol. Really I think alcohol can be more dangerous than alcohol. some ppl tend to get very angry when drunk. I have never a person get angry when high. I think high driving is safer than drunk driving...not safe though.
