Nation Of Pot Smokers

[dgridley]

Been having a conversation on another forum regarding pot vs alcohol. My reponse to whether we'd lost the war on drugs (we have) was (in part):

One of the main differences between being intoxicated and being high is: if you're high, you're usually too lazy to get up off the couch to drive I think in that case, lethargy is a good thing :D

I think cannabis smokers are less likely to get belligerent too, as those who drink alcohol often do.

My grandmother was an alcoholic and tho I have consumed alcohol in my lifetime, it's been a rare and generally unpleasant experience for me (I hate being tipsy). On the other hand, I've also "inhaled" on occasion (tho haven't in a few years now) and would generally feel safer in a nation of pot smokers than a roomful of drunks.

What are your views?

A buddy of mine brought up a good point last night. He mentioned that now days the THC content of marijuana is much stronger than it was 30 years ago. Back then the average THC amount was 3%, the average now is 8% with the highest known being 33%. This may change the way marijuana effects the body because it is a much stronger dose of THC. Even still, I'd rather be around smokers than drinkers. Much more mellow.
