    Never smoked a cigarette, but I do try a drink now and then. I find the phrase “drugs & alcohol” relevant here in that they’re different categories.

        Yeah they are. One is less hassle, comes with no stigma and therefore no stress. “Why yes I have had a drink, officer, but just the one.”

        Also if you’re a lightweight like me, you reach your limit at 2 pints. With cannabis? Who the hell knows, the quantities and potencies are still being standardized, and if you want to mix a lighter load you have to mix in more tobacco which is another stimulant.

        No thanks, I’ll have my brown lake water with 3% alcohol mixed in please.

          no stigma has nothing to do with anything. people do die from its usage (or the consequences of its usage). It is more toxic than a lot of other “harder” drugs. It can ruin lives and break up families just as well. we’re talking about what it is, not how it is perceived. I am also not implying you should smoke weed instead. Everyone has their drug of choice. To each their own. But make no mistake, it’s a drug nonetheless.
