Don't be slow. First off he did compare the two. He said smoking daily made him feel like an alcoholic...which is a direct correlation between the two. Secondly he is addicted. His desire for a change of pace is proof there is a physiological need for the herb. Which is fine, but don't compare alcoholics to potheads. Two different bridges on two different continents. Thirdly...He has to pick a side. Otherwise he's nothing more than a conservative hippie, and eventually will grow to hate the herb, and everyone associated with it. IE. Most of the people who lived in the 60's.
No I won't "grow to hate the herb".
Secondly you don't know some of the people I've seen who literally can't get enough weed and will do crazy shit to get it.
I've seen two sides to it.
I have no "desire to change" and I'm not conservative.
Maybe I did compare the two because people get like to do things that make them feel good. I didn't see it that way when I posted that but you seemed to have.
Some people like to get drunk every day.
For that matter though not everyone who has a drink every day beats their wife or their children.
My grandmother has a glass of scotch every night before she goes to bed, does that make her a lush? A danger to society?
No it's what she chooses to do to relax at the end of her day and that woman has never laid a hand on me or been violent towards me.
So what if I choose to smoke small amounts it's my bag not yours.
I like the amount that I do, I like getting really baked and watching a movie alone, I like getting really stoned at times and I enjoy a mild buzz sometimes again my body, my way of doing things.
If you want to smoke all day long that's your prerogative. It's your life your body.
I don't care how much you smoke I know for myself I don't want to turn into some of the people that I've known.
Some people don't have self control and they literally do become junkies. You aren't one of them fine. Again even if you were on crack that's all you and no I'm not comparing the two.
The internet is an addiction to some people.
Eating is an addiction to some people.
Shop lifting is an addiction to some people.
Hell running through the mall or other public places is an addiction to some people.
Caffeine is a definable addiction to me I fucking love my coffee and love the caffeine especially a good caffeine buzz when I have gone a few days without it.
Some of you just assume that I compared the two alcohol and weed. No I'm not comparing the effects at all I'm just stating that I don't want to be needing for anything. FOR SOME PEOPLE IT HAPPENS. If that isn't you then cool fine whatever. Don't jump on me for smoking a bowl and stoping.
I don't go look in the mirror when I've had my fatty and say shit. I usually sit on my couch and watch tv or a movie.
I don't go crazy when I smoke with a group yelling "oh I'm high" no I sit the fuck down and chill and smoke even more.
I don't live around my ole gang that I used to smoke with anymore. I don't really like doing it alone I have no one to talk about crazy theorys and laugh with.
Why be defensive? I only stated what I like to do with my weed.
And was attacked for what not smoking enough weed.
As far as calling me an addict, hey you do it to. Am I somehow less than you because I like for my bags to last longer than your might?
I don't care how much you do, it's your shit. Why does it matter how much or how little I smoke?
If you came over to my house and wanted to get high with me every day and never brought any that would a problem. Otherwise do what you want.
That's all I do, what I want to do.
Usually stoners seem to be laid back cool people, not here it seems.
And yeah I did grow up hearing about it being "dangerous" "gateway drug" all that BS.
And at one point I did believe that.
My views changed.
I can't see myself judging another person for it later down the road or becoming some kind of nut who thinks it's bad and dangerous.
People who have smoked my shit and come back at me later with that crap piss me off.
