POT VS ALCOHOL

[blueberryhill]

Has everyone in here drank alcohol at some point in time? Smoked pot?

Leaving the legalities out, could you argue that one is more dangerous than the other?

Does anyone drink everyday or smoke weed everyday?

I would much rather someone use medical marijuana than pills for pain. I wish it were more widely accepted.

I do not drink or smoke anymore.

Love Child, I agree on the pot for pain. We under treat pain in our society. I recall the year or so before my mother died, and doctor was reluctant to give her pain pills for her sciatic pain...She was 87 as I recall and the Doctor said he didn't want her to get addicted....I think I probably fainted at that point from shock that an educated person (and a doctor) really said that.....I have taken all the big ones, hydrocodone, oxycontin, etc...for rotator cuff surgery, shingles, infected appendix with gangrene....I hate them because you can't poop for years. I did go to pain clinics and tried the shots in the spine, etc, but nothing worked....We (as a Nation) need to recognize the medical benefits of pot and quit being so up tight about something that actually does have some positive uses (in addition to feeling high); it doesn't stop your pooping (or so I have been told).
Also if you have an addictive personality, those pain pills are really bad....
How many years did you smoke? It is not an easy thing to do. I quit after 50 years of smoking. Hopefully you won't have any repercussions from smoking health wise.
