Alcohol vs marijuana

[Doofy]

Tried an Alaskan Amber the other day after many years of abstaining. I found it stout, harsh and bitter. Seems as though my taste buds forgot that they once thought it tasted good. Oh well, beer battered halibut is in my future now.

Used to have a drop of two back when I was a young man, I still now and then will have a bottle of beer or cider, but that's it as it upsets my system nowadays.
There is a culture amongst the youngsters here in the UK of smoking high grade grass, causing all manner of psychological issues in the long term, and increasing the crime rate in inner cities.
I'm glad to live in the wilds so as not to be exposed to the degradation that is ensuing in town, the grass smoking habit has gone from recreational to perpetual over here in some sections of society.

I doubt that weed has anything to do with the degradation of city dwellers. Population density puts them under continual stress, which drives them crazy. They become immoral, violent, and unpredictable.

I agree that youngsters have a behavior problem, but most of it seems to be from poor impulse control. :2cents:

If you drink to "get a buzz", you are in a very very small minority, of those who enjoy a drink. If you use pot you have behavioral issues.

And if you play golf you are gay.

This country doesn't need more gun/drug control, it needs more people control.

I thought it was tennis...unless the golfer was liberal...!

Can't generalize with people's tastes. I hate the taste of beer, I've tried a bunch of different ones that friends think are great and want me to try. I do like Baileys, vodka, rum and a ton of other liqueurs and not for the buzz. I've actually found they make my heart race if I drink more than a couple ounces which I don't like so I don't drink it too much anymore. My youngest son has the same tastes as me, dislikes beer. My oldest didn't used to like it but now seems to.

As for MJ, I had peers in high school that were often "burnt" and they acted like goofballs when in that state. Seemed silly to me so never tried it. I like that folks are now doing things with it for medical reasons though. Use responsibly what mother nature gives us.

That may be right...... But I have to wait for someone to tell me what's right before I'll go with it.

..And people buy Playboy magazines to read the articles.

Some people like Prime Rib. I think it's horrible and can't understand why anyone could possibly acquire a taste for such a thing......

Not to steer away from booze or pot etc...but how many know someone that is addicted to prescription pain meds...?...it's a sad situation...

Closet thing to a zombie we'll ever really see outside of the movies or TV...
