    The problem with today's weed is it's too damn strong. Two pulls and your face melts into the couch. Where's the old 4% THC weed? We could share a joint, hang out, and have a good time. This shit today turns you into zombie.

    Agreed -there's 30% shit out there right now.

    Which is why the Throbber goes the edibles route. Can ingest a smaller portion and get to a happy place.

    Alcohol > Tweeds. But that’s just me.

    I would get the "negative" affects (paranoid) often enough that I stopped. I agree with Yellow, alcohol is a better and more social drug of choice for me.

    None on me. I've seen a couple other people start out with weed and end up having their life totally in shambles due to getting in to heroine and stuff like that, but I think those types would've found their way to the hardcore stuff with or without the weed. The thing about weed vs alcohol is that it seems like the whole point of weed is to get high, whereas booze you can have a drink to enjoy the taste and not get buzzed or drunk, etc. Having said that, booze is probably the worse vice to have if you're getting after it all the time.

    Edible before dinner, and before bed. Puts me to sleep, and reduced alcohol consumption dramatically

    Edit: tried some smoke a couple years ago, and lost my voice for the rest of the night…some may say that is a positive as well

    Never done it. Started my career too young, now I'm subject to follicle testing. I hear it helps you sleep, at least CBD, so I'd be interested in that. Reducing my alcohol consumption would also be hugely beneficial. Oh well.

    Don't get me wrong. I've had some really fun stoned experiences. But I too get paranoid feeling on occasion.

    I just don't crave it the same way that I do the daemon alcohol or cigars. I can take it or leave it.

    I voted huh? because it's funny, but truth be told it has been positive. It's 100 X better, or less bad, for me than alcohol and pretty well removes any temptation I might have to over consume. It helps me unwind in the evening and helps me relax for bed.

    My Dad was diabetic like me and drank himself into heart failure. He drank every day so that he could tolerate the final 30 years of marriage to my mom. I ragged on him for years about replacing his daily sixpack+ with a joint. He jokingly agreed that he should but never did. Died at 57. I have just over seven years to outlive him so I can claim I was right (I did not want him to die just to be right).

    It's also the most potent boner popper I've known. My sex life, at this ripe old age, would be half as active without weed.

    This is what I experienced when Gonja in HS supplanted the easy going Columbian Gold we smoked in Junior High.

    2 or 3 bong hits put me to sleep by the time I had my driver's license.

    Switched to strictly alcohol and never looked back.

    Most of my friends who stuck with weed still live with their parents or some casino whore they're shacking up with.

    Sounds like you're in the zone. I'd stay put. If it works, don't fix it.

    Haven’t smoked since 1987. To me it was a high school thing. I would rather spend my money on other things.

    Hell yeah. Blazed it up with two classmates who are now gone. One thing WHS Class of “87 definitely dominates is in dead Falcons. From pussy cancer to suicide by grenade, we got it down.

    (CNN)Whether you smoke it, vape it or eat it as an edible, cannabis may be significantly increasing your risk of a heart attack.

    Adults under 45 years old who consumed cannabis within the last 30 days, suffered from nearly double the number of heart attacks than adults who didn't use the drug, according to research published Tuesday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

    Clearly, a second opinion is warranted here.

    Weak shit. Salting your food too much, or at all, raises your risk of heart attack. Masturbatung raises your risk of heart attack (and causes blindness). Watching the dwags against Montana raised my risk of heart attack tenfold at least.

    Life is dangerous. Stay indoors, mask up, and stick to booze and prescription drugs. Sounds way safer.
