I feel bad for people who think they can't function without needing to get messed up. Self control and discipline are getting rarer and rarer.

Have seen that a lot with alcohol.

I’m curious if cannabis and alcohol are both equally dangerous?

Interesting thought. I guess, ultimately, it’s up to the individual to decide. Unless the government is better at making those decisions for us.

My experience is that they are about equally corrosive to health but I’ve never seen anyone hit a lick for alcohol. As for weed, there were so many I can’t remember them all.

3 hours ago you could have shut up but you are still here telling people how to live their life. We do not care about your opinion so shut up and go do you.

I stick with whiskey. Me and THC do not get along - no matter how it is ingested or what the flavor/type is. As for what's worse that is hard to say. Alcohol has been entrenched in human society for a lot longer (pot's been around a long time too but not entrenched the same way) and as a result a lot more people drink than smoke. If the same % of the population abused cannabis the way booze is abused who knows which group would be worse off.

Probably worse than both is processed food with too much salt, sugar, chemicals and modified fats eaten by too many people (and especially kids) all the time. Equals heart/stroke/cancer/obesity bonanza.

Salt isn’t really the problem most of the time, it’s all those other things you mentioned. We need salt and potassium in balance to function properly.

As for the subject at hand, my buddy used to say, “When was the last time you saw a bar fight break out among a bunch of stoners?”’

My thoughts are that some people can indulge in alcohol or weed and not become overly addicted, while others end up with an addiction. I don’t do weed just because I never liked the way it made me feel. A light buzz from alcohol is preferable to me. But in general, I don’t like feeling messed up from anything. I am encouraged by what I have seen from cannabinoids in medical use to tame seizures, etc. i would certainly entertain the use of CBD products for arthritis pain relieve.

Pretty much any medication you take, be it prescribed, otc, or illicit use, is going to have side effects of some sort. That includes tobacco products.

"We....." is really interesting to see in a post. It's usually done without thinking as your mind creates an imaginary coalition to add credibility in order to counter self-doubt.


I didn't see ntxtrapper as judging anyone. He was providing information based on personal experiences. His opinions are certainly understandable. Just watch any First 48 and it seems like about all of them have a connection to drugs.

Apparently I hit a nerve with that one. I was just stating my observations based on my experience, but if he wants to get wasted or baked, he can have at it. I’m thinking it’s something more though to lash out like that.

I would suggest starting off with about 1/8. I tried my 1st one at 1/2 and that was not good at all for someone not used to them. At least that was my experience if you want to be half way normal 8 hrs later.

There’s some really funny videos of folks who downed the whole thing

That actually sounds very entertaining. I’ll have to look those up.

O M G an 1/8 Really?

1 or 2 beers would probably mess me up the same. No tolerance for anything anymore.
