Being stoned is just like being drunk but 10 times better and without the hang-over  |
I have to say I really disagree with that. I love smoking pot, it helps get insight into my own and my close friends' characters. But I don't really like drinking anywhere near as much. You becomes stupid, hazy headed, and stare off into space. You don't have the wherewithal to contribute to a conversation with anyone sober, and you fumble for words like an idiot. Not to say that there isn't something about getting drunk to shit on rum with your best friend and spending two hours talking about shit you'd otherwise be too uptight to talk about. But for the most part, alcohol only loosens your lips (or maybe other things) and doesn't help you to soulsearch at all.
As for side effects, yeah, smoking a joint yeilds more tar than smoking tobacco because tobacco is not in its purest form, cigarettes have filters, and tobacco is completely manipulated to make it more addictive. I have to say I guard constantly against being addicted to anything because alcoholism runs in my family. But I don't consider myself by any means addicted to reefer. If my girlfriend right out told me to stop, I would. I don't lie about my use of the drug. My parents have asked in the past if I smoke and I've told them, Yes. You just have to remember if you're smoking a drug that you have to do it in moderation and you have to keep everything in perspective.
