one of the beautiful things about being an older guy is that you get to see the benefits of both drugs and alcohol via friends, family, and aquaintences.
I have never smoked a cigarette .. i've never taken any form of non prescription drug.
I drank a bit when i was a kid .. but as i got older the reality of losing a valuable day on the weekend with a shitty hangover lost its appeal. I hardly drink a damn thing now since my kid was born .. i dont know if i have more than 1 or 2 a month.
If i go out and its appropriate i might have 1 or 2 beer or caesars (something you poor americans havent heard of .. its the drink of the gods)
but although i understand the attraction of a slight happy buzz .. i am a fast drinker and by the time that little buzz comes (if at all) i have already lined up a great deal of alcohol waiting to enter my blood stream .. and i'll end up sleepy - with a headache.
I guess thats my true nature ...a tired guy (re my earlier post)
I dont knock alcohol .. i knock the people who use it to excess that cant handle it.
I'm completely with Vod on the legality issue ..
if i smoked .. i wouldnt think anything about smoking weed .. if it was legal.
Why it isnt legal i dont know since tobacco is .. which is insanely addictive.
therein lies the confusion .. the inconsistency of government and law.
if you are going to make weed illegal then cigarettes and alcohol should be too.
man that was a long note .. i need a drink .... bartender !
