What do people get out of drinking and partying to the point they puke? When I go out I like to have a few drinks sometimes, but I would never want to be so drunk I was out of control. I prefer smoking pot, it is healthier and less dangerous than alcohol, yet pot is illegal and alcohol isn't!

I never said that pot was harmless...
Geez, what have you people been smoking.
I said it had fewer harmful affects than alcohol. Including the ones that you do to yourself while intoxicated. I've been a bartender, I've seen people light each other on fire while drunk. I've never seen anyone get so stoned that they caused somebody else bodily harm. Also, scientists are currently looking into the very probable idea that smoking marijuana doesn't just help your glaucoma, it may help repair brain damage caused by alcohol consumption and drug use. My point is not, "Why don't people smoke pot instead of drinking?" It is, "Why do people drink so much that they get falling down drunk and make themselves sick? How is that fun?"

BTW, I've also never heard of anyone overdosing on pot, however it is quite common and even a cause of death with alcohol.
I would never encourage someone to drive while under the influence at all. That is just stupid.

Talk to some scientists...you make me laugh. My uncle is an astrophysicist. He smokes pot. My cousin is a biologist. She smokes pot. My brother is a cardiac surgeon. He smokes pot.
I've talked to them. I've also done research.

Though both can interfere seriously with your life, I don't think pot or gambline ever killed anyone.

The puking isn't exactly planned. Sometimes people just want to get REALLY drunk and then, suddenly, the puking starts. It's more of a problem with younger people who are still figuring out 'how much is too much'. When you get older, you tend to learn when to stop unless you've got some sort of a problem. I was one of those puking party people. Now I'm in AA.
*I had to quit smoking pot at 20. It started to make me paranoid, nasty and too tired to stand. I used to drive after smoking it when I was a teen. My reaction time for hitting the breaks was very slow. It can still be very dangerous.

do a little research, talk to some scientists...... pot harmless? oh my... how uninformed you are.......
my understanding is that it does some b a d a s s serious no kidding damage to the brain!
Some mechanics have lousy cars, some law inforcemement officer's beat thier wives, some mother's beat thier kids, some doctors who have treated people dying of aids have unprotected sex
that you know people who should know better who smoke pot is not conclusive evidence that it is not bad for you. A friend of mine is a scientist who works outside of the medical proffession - he has pattened many remedys and he was the one who told me that pot was very harmful. I have no way to check this for myself but I do know how dull my friends are who smoke alot and that is a sign of something going on.
Now don't get your underwear alll tied up in a bunch girl!!! Don't go running for a joint....have a herbal tea for god sakes!!

sometimes they want to get drunk because it's cool and puke so everyone laughs like they're comedians when they're really being a clown
nobody likes a drunk at a party, they don't leave a good impression either-you might not even get invited anymore
what I do is once i get a little lightheaded-that's it and go drink water instead, but i never really go that far unless it's free lol

Most people don't drink to puke on purpose. They just get carried away, and before they know it, they've ahd entirely too much. I agree that it is dumb that pot is not legal.

anything that is negatively life altering is dangerous, whether its pot, booze, cigarettes, gambling or junk food. we choose to indulge in these things, and we choose the moderation of how we use these things. don't point fingers if you live in a glass house. one isn't worse, or better, than the other.
