Alcohol V Weed
Just thought I'd get a few peoples perspectives on the whole deal...I myself had to justify myself to a friend who drinks on a regular basis.
To me, it's just a matter of how each would effect you personally.
I'm not here to try and change anyones opinions or anything...so yeah, here's my side of things, I'll just repost my side of the convo I had earlier...
"I personally think it's a little more sensible than drinking...but that's only from my individual perspective, I don't expect anybody to have to adopt my views on the matter. The way I see it, if it's done in moderation, there shouldn't be a problem with it.
I don't drink alcohol (apart from y'know occasions n shit), or smoke tobacco...so overall my body is in better shape than the majority.
For at least myself, weed does not induce violent behaviour, and you'll be WAY less likely to be involved in a car accident.
Why? Because alcoholics seem to think it's a good idea to drink drive when they're wasted, where those that are stoned simply cannot be bothered to.
I'm kinda sick of getting judged about this, yknow?
I mean a lot of people that have worse, more self destructive, and more REGULAR habits (eg smoking and drinking) actually put shit on me, simply because of the legality issue, or using the same old "it's a gateway drug" line, yet to date, all I've tried is weed, and 'shrooms (once), and nothing manufactured.
Again, I maintain that I'm doing my body far less damage with what I do, and I'm also less of a public threat this way...dont ya think? No secondary smoke for others, no getting into fights (trust me, when I'm drunk, I'm one big, angry, almost unstoppable motherfucker), no drink driving...see, when you just THINK about it, it's pretty much better for the user, and the general public than either drinking OR smoking...
As for the legality issue, in my opinion, this was clearly a law created to benefit the drinkers.., and enforced by those that aren't prepared to meet half way. Laws aren't always fair.
So...thoughts?
Let's try to keep it mature, shall we?
