I did it a few years back for a time, and I never had any side effects like a bad hangover, or violent encounters, like I've had with alcohol. Alot of potheads I meet are generally laid back people. Sometimes I miss pot. I gave it up because of social backlash that's not evident with alcohol. A guy can get smashed at a wedding, fall down and embarrass himself, and the next day people laugh. "Oh, he was so hammered." But if the same guy smoked a doobie at the wedding, he'd be looked upon as a loser. What is it all about? Why the bad rap for pot? By the way, my woman said she would leave if I started puffing again, but she's okay with drinking.

As I recall back in the day. Party's would often divide into two camps. The drinkers and the pot heads. Usually, they would wind up in separate locations which made it easier to notice the differences. The drinkers would get loud and obnoxious. Sometimes fist fights would break out. Ugly... Meanwhile the pot smoker's would be engaged in some pretty heavy conversation about a host of weird yet benign concepts about stuff. The music would be more cerebral and less headbanging'. Overall, neither direction is an advisable way to go. Both drugs are hard on body and soul. It takes you places you very well may regret.

first of all don't let the public eye deter you from what you want to do, if you like smoking pot...do it. i don't smoke pot but back in the day i did...a lot. now I'm in the army, an awarded Iraq vet and am about to go for a second time. like i said, i smoked a lot of pot a while back and believe it or not am probably the smartest guy around me, scary huh. as long as it doesn't interfere with your job or professional curriculum whats the prob? lose the girl shes too opinionated and judge mental of something she knows little about.

caugh... sucks, doesn't it?
A lot of people bash potheads, but if you switched pot and alcohol's effects upon society, you could watch the death toll drop, the prisons empty out, and the amount of violent crimes would plummet.
I've smoked for some time now, and I'm fine. I hold a good job and I'm an otherwise law-abiding citizen... I vote.

I don't really think pot has any effects of you physically that are negative, not as bad as say smoking cigarettes or drinking but it does change who you are a lot.. and some people don't like that laid back personality.. my best friend of 10 years started to smoke and all the sudden she decided she was going to be a completely different person and decided she didn't like me anymore =/ so if my man said he wanted to smoke i would be kinda scared just b/c of my own experience. respect her opinion but do what you feel you need to do. plus it makes you lazy!!

Hmmm ... you raise some very good points. I think you got it figured out ... alcohol is socially acceptable while pot isn't and most importantly, the government makes money off of alcohol. Alcohol kills the liver, pot kills the lungs, both affect the brain negatively.

I have no clue, my girl said the same thing about pot. But I smoke it behind her back. One day I got high before spending the night, and the next day she swore that night before was the best sex ever. I wanted to to tell her I was high so bad ... thinking maybe she would rethink her position.
In 3000 years of cultivation weed has not killed a single person.
Its just taboo becuase it is illegal. It illegal for economic reasons.

I know pot and alcohol are both bad. I don't smoke pot but have many times in my earlier years.
Pot is very harmful when you go get tacos after smoking it and
get that unchewed completely shell scrape down your throat.
Alcohol can make you happy and seconds later, pissssed

It tends to make you less competitive which in ultra competitive Western cultures is the kiss of death for profits, which is all anyone you're going to work for is after. W. the wife and everyone else it's material gain, which seems kind of pointless if you change your brain chemistry and look at it from a new (un-entrenched) point of view, no wonder it's illegal aye.

I do believe drinking has more bad than good qualities, but supposedly pot kills brain cells, so you decide.
