But lets not forget, it ages people terribly and it has been proved that it changes people personalities.

I've never smoked or drank. So what, you wanna fight about it?

I know a lot of hardcore stoners and if you ever saw some of them try to order food at mcdonalds you'd know what I'm talking about. :p

*grabs machete*

...

Wait... What's this about smoking or drinking?

I was just looking for a fight. :p

...

Oh, and on topic: I can't handle the weed. Used to look down on people who could, when I was straight-edge (early HATE-edge in my youth after catching my parents growing weed in the basement which broke my little suburbanite A-student dreamlife)... But, at the moment, I'm to the point where, honestly, people can make their own decisions. I did my preaching in high school.

I choose not to smoke. I drink heavily on occasion.

So what?

Honestly, I have very little interest in discussions and topics that consider smoking to be good, interesting, and cool enough to BE a thread, but, well, here I am reading AND posting in it. So what's the point in complaining? I am merely perpetuating.

I am begging your pardon Mr. Newb, but my vocabularic selection is substationally larger than average! :D

thats pretty much my goal in life.

Anyone that thinks weed is worse on the body, mind or society in general, than alcohal seriously needs to do some research.

Enjoyed in moderation, they're both delightful. Taken to excess, pot will make someone extremely lazy and/or forgetful while alcohal kills people on the road every single day. This discussion should be a no-brainer. An extremely intoxicated person may start fights, say things they later regret, do things they later regret, etc... An extemely stoned person will sit on the couch and much on Doritos.

People die on the roads from alcohal all the time, sometimes people that haven't even had anything to drink. People can die when they drink too much of it and give themselves Blood Alcohal Poisoning. People can die when they've had too much of it and do something stupid (like climbing from balcony to balcony at a tall hotel on Spring Break or something.) I've never heard of a single person dying as a result of marijuana consumption. I don't even see how it can be debated.
