If people wanna take it, fine, but it's never the same thing twice, which is what's insane to me.

It's almost always mixed with something. Someone I know recently found out that her dealer was giving her E mixed with detergent.

you are preaching to the converted, my friend, preaching to the converted.

Regardless of your fathers experience, alcohol has calories, excessive drinking leads to excessive calories and a host of other possible problems.

On the bonus side to weed, no extra calories.

Alcohol is more damaging than any illegal drug. Kills far more people. Just throwing that out there. Never use legality as the base of a drugs argument, it means nothing. The two most dangerous drugs are legal.

The funny part is, at least illegal drug users get the high, what do you get from alcohol? Drunk and a hangover. People get more out of weed, with less damage, than you will ever get from alcohol, with more damage.

The whole "It makes me more socially comfortable." argument is silly also, because that implies you need the drug to have a good time, something you are suggesting illegal drug users are weak for.

Very true indeed. 😬

It tastes bad, does absolutely no good for your body yet people are so darn hesitant to lead a life devoid of alcohol consumption. Makes me wonder...😕

People just need to stop factoring in the social stigma attached to illegal drugs and start attaching logic, Punky. Everything is clearer post-doing so.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying it's not a guarantee unless you drink pathetically.

I'm not so sure I see that happening in the USA in the near future. Church's and the elementary education of drugs, sets up a system of training at an early age.

I completely agree with the anti-alcohol thing going on here - although I do have a couple of drinks sometimes, I can't drink a lot because of stomach problems. Weed on the other hand seems to help ease the pain. I'd also rather be in a room full of potheads, getting mellow and giggly than in a room full of drunks getting rowdy and angry. I don't like drunk people, my uncle used to terrify me when he was drunk, my mum gets bitchy when she's drunk, my dad gets grumpy and my stepdad gets violent. When my mum smokes with me she get the giggles big time, it's so much more fun! 😛

Make alcohol illegal and weed legal!!!!✅

And thank you to everyone who said I'm not a pussy for not trying other drugs, I much prefer to think of myself as strong and independent, you've put a whole new light on the matter for me! 😄 I guess I thought i was a coward because so many people I know are pill poppers.
I do have some body piercings and tattoos though! (not a lot!)

Sepia, I'd recommend whatever you want to try. It's your body and your life.

Just make sure you research whatever drug it is you plan to take BEFORE you take it.

I'd personally stay away from LSD, heroin and E, just because they all seem far too risky/addictive for me. You may disagree, so do whatever you want.
