Would you support the legalization of weed if it meant making alcohol illegal?

With marijuana, being "out of control" isn't even part of the picture. I can completely step off into the 12th dimension and not have to worry about doing something stupid that I don't remember the next day. Even when I'm talking to Jesus, I'm still in complete control.

Yeah, I feel what you're saying. That's one of the reasons I wish I was a smoker as opposed to a drinker.

The problem for me is that I get paranoid and legitimately think I'm going to die when I smoke. Everything slows down, I can hear/feel my heartbeat (which is usually beating wayyy faster than it should) and get really scared. That and the fact that I get probably the worst cotton mouth imaginable pretty much ruins the high for me.

I've even had the option to smooke over the years. Maybe have taken a puff or two once in a very very blue moon.

even if i was legal, I'm not even sure I'd smoke all that often, if at all.

hmmm. Interesting - I wonder if it would effect me.

and I haven't smoked in probably 20 years.

This is why I'm moving to Colorado ASAP.

I got my dog high once and she peed on the couch.

I quit smoking pot a while back, and I consume more alcohol than I ever have. That said if only one can be legal, weed is the easy winner. Alcohol does so much more harm than good, and weed doesn't do any real harm at all besides robbing some of it's users of their motivation and ambition.

Seattle is better, and their law is better too for the common smoker. Money is better up there as well.

OK either or.

I like the mountains though, seems like it is always raining in Seattle.

There's mountains in Seattle. And a lot less snow...

Yeah I get the same thing in addition to just sitting somewhere indefinitely just looking at shit. It just isnt fun for me at all. I don't drink often anymore, probably twice a month and its jus5 a more fun, free feeling. If you just have enough to get you buzzed thats all you really need. I only get hung over if I just go get plowed. Even if I have 7 or 8 I still fe3l perfectly fine the next day.

AussieChiefsFan · 01-31-2013, 04:52 AM

Neither should be illegal IMO

It's not for everyone.

I remember this dude used throw up every time he got high. He tried to get used to it, but could not.

A few years later, he started smoking meth.

Go figure.

Definitely not for pussies.

I had a roommate who would get dizzy all the time.

So I made him listen to "Billy the Mountain" once - he puked all over our neighbor.

I'm curious about the motivation behind this poll. It seems like a strange question.

This.

Even once legal employers will frown upon either one being in your system...

It seems like a strange question. __________________ Obamacare’s fix for an American health care system that the federal government long ago broke, is to give the federal government far more power over American health care; that its solution to escalating health costs is to mandate greater health benefits (and, hence, higher costs); and that its solution to the pricey overreliance on pre-paid health plans — offered by insurance companies in lieu of real insurance — is to have the government require Americans to buy those pre-paid health plans under penalty of law.
