the one thing i cant get my head around in deliberately inhaling smoke.

There is a filtration system in your body that is designed to prevent crap from getting into your lungs which are crucial and fairly delicate.

Smoke is the worst kind of garbage you could inhale so with smoking not only is it inhaled .. it's voluntarily forced there.

Eventually the small walls of the lungs get coated, rotted, and the surface area for oxygen to blood transfer is reduced leaving you in poor health.
Not everyone is effected the same way or at the same speed but its pretty simple science.

Alcohol is a form of poison (like chocolate :)
Some areas of expertise say that in moderation, it can be benifical. I don't know the facts to back that one up.

The real problem is twofold.

Smoke of any kind is pretty obviously a bad thing to do to your lungs.
Excess of smoke is as bad as excess of anything else . if you hava an addictive personality and cant afford it, then it can have a social impact as well.

Alcohol in moderation isnt a big deal but if its abused it has more immediate ramifications, socially and healthwise.

Bottom line is that both have negatives .. no denying that.
Both have positives.

For me the negatives outweigh the positives re. smoking
I'm not an alcoholic so i dont have any health or social problems taking a couple of drinks a month.

Should pot be legal ?
Absolutely - as long as cigarettes and alcohol are legal there is no logical reason why it shouldnt be.

Whats not to understand? Getting High makes you feel better. People depressed or bored. Don't really give a shit about they're health. A Body grows unhealthly just with age. And getting old is fucking depressing to me,

So why not get High and feel good in the moment?
But if you feel good as it is than just be grateful you don't have a shitty life.

i didnt say i wouldnt eat the brownies :)

seriously .. when you hit my age you start seeing the evidence of what the prolonged effects of smoke can have on the body. ..
when you see someone coughing up black lung tissue to begin each day ... then they start thinking about the health thing and wishing they had of given a shit 15 - 20 years earlier.

I had a shitty life by the way - until i was mid 20s or so .. but its good now.
I'm a poster child for 'things can get better'
and yes .. i'm grateful of it ... but it could easily have gone the other way .. part luck, part tenacity.

Yknow, I didn't expect this thread would hit so many ppl...I had no idea it would be under discussion for so long.

I thanks everyone to post their thoughts thus far. It's been interesting, and informative....
Please, continue as you will - I'm content to sit and watch for now.
