    In my experience, a bit of both. They start out with a disrespect for authority and marijuana use encourages it.

    Are you not aware there are different levels of murder charges? There is a reason for that. Think it through

    I know, right!? Cray cray potheads! And their satanic rituals! They actually make meth out of kids. Unlike Heisenberg’s blue meth, theirs is pink and is purported to be the most bestest buzz on erf.

    Yet in your previous post, you claimed that: " I don't attack people...."

    Why should we believe anything you claim when you contradict yourself in just 2 consecutive Posts?

    I think that is nuts. Pure absolute lunacy. Unless one is quite accustomed to always having two drinks in them.

    I'm a teetotaler because, to me, drinking alcohol is like drinking puke. And it tends to lead to people doing stupid and violent things. I just don't see the attraction.

    Throughout my life I would, from time to time, run into men who had a certain odor about them. Mostly it was salesmen and engineers, but I'd also smell it on priests and factory workers. Most tended to go heavy on the aftershave. Probably to help mask the odor. I was almost forty before I discovered the cause. An engineer that I had been working with, had that odor. One day at work, he kept shaking. Uncontrollably. He told me the shakes were so bad that he couldn't drive. That his wife had to drive him to and from work. Apparently his wife had given him an ultimatum. Quit drinking or get a divorce. He went cold turkey and had the shakes for a couple of weeks. It was then, in conversations with him, as he showed me the hidden bottles he had stashed about, that I discovered that the odor came from drinking gin.

    It explained a lot. Like how there was a boss I once had who tended to be gung ho, get it done, first thing in the morning, only to turn into the grouchy boss from hell by lunch time. The trick was to avoid him until after his afternoon break, when he would come back, friendly, stinking of gin. It was then, that he was most agreeable to my suggestions and requests.

    I've been consuming marihuana on and off for more than forty years. Sometimes I've boughten large quantities and got high everyday for months, only to not do it for years when I ran out. Never have I had the withdrawals that alcoholics have. And especially I have never had a hangover, or a blackout, or any of the other fun things alcohol drinking folks get to have, like praying to the porcelain god when they drink just a little too much.

    You seem to be comparing apples and oranges. Meaning you’re comparing your casual pot smoking to an alcoholic. If you compared your casual pot smoking to my casual drinking it would be more appropriate. I don’t get hangovers, or blackout or have withdrawals if I don’t have a drink for awhile.

    I am sure that there is no way that inhaling vast quantities of tar and other contaminants into your lungs for days on end could possibly be bad for you? Likewise, how can altering the way your brain works for days on end possibly have long term effects?

    People say I'm no good, and crazy as a loon
    'Cause I get stoned in the mornin', I get drunk in the afternoon
    Kinda like my old blue tick hound, I like to lay around in the shade
    And I ain't got no money, but I damn sure got it made

    'Cause I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
    If I can't get it on my own
    If you don't like the way I'm livin'
    You just leave this long haired country boy alone

    Preacher man talking on TV, puttin' down the rock and roll
    Wants me to send a donation, 'cause he's worried about my soul
    He said, "Jesus walked on the water.", and I know that it's true
    But sometimes I think that preacher man, would like to do a little walkin' too

    But I ain't askin' nobody for nothin'
    If I can't get it on my own
    If you don't like the way I'm livin'
    You just leave this long haired country boy alone

    A poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl wants to flirt
    A rich man goes to college, a poor man goes to work
    A drunkard wants another drink of wine, and a politician wants your vote
    I don't want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke

    'Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothin'
    If I can't get it on my own
    If you don't like the way I'm livin'
    You just leave this long haired country boy alone

    Not in my experience. Most of us have someone in authority over us and generally doing what they want is how we make our living. That does not even address encounters with the police.

    Why is that attacking anyone? Oliver just posted he/she uses marijuana all the time. He/she brags she has done it for over forty years. I know people like that and have stated most suffer from early dementia. My own doctor has done studies that show the level of mental maturity ceases at the level pot is engaged from continuous use. It only makes sense.We know it is a mind altering drug, that is a fact. I just acknowledge I see indications his/ her mind is altered by the post he/ she makes. (note: I am also "gender sensitive") no hypocrisy here!!

    So, in your pot influenced mind, (constant use for over forty years) you think rebellion for the sake of rebellion is a good thing? Does that explain ANTIFA? I agree....most pot smokers lean left as most practicing homosexuals lean left. Most undisciplined narcissistic brats lean left.

    While your at it, why don't you check out your spelling of "marihuana". Even spell check has it correct. It's MARIJUANA! You think you could spell your mentor correctly.

    There is the essential point that alcohol is a poison. When you have a hangover you have alcohol poisoning. What people call casual use for booze is considered heavy use for pot - daily use.

    The fact is that booze is a far more powerful drug than is pot. And it is far more dangerous.

    Note the language I have emboldened. That is what forty years of marijuana use does to the mind. I am not attacking Oliver. I am just noting his/her behavior.

    Did you know that eating to much protein can poison you also? Did you know that consuming to many carrots can make white folks turn orange?
    Smoke one doobie and you've altered your mind. Do it for forty years and it creates your personality.

    Correction noted. It does sound the same. Spell check didn't catch it. There is such a word.

    Re:
    Then, you need to fire your sommelier because nothing compliments a good meal like an excellent wine.

    It seems like your experience with drinkers is limited to hard core alcoholics who drink cheap, distilled spirits simply to cope with life while to many people are painstaking in choosing the right wine(s) to go with a particular meal.

    You're missing a lot by thinking that drinking involves either full blown alcoholism or complete abstinence. There is, of course a middle ground.

    Add it up. What kind of thought process leads to a conclusion that supporting legal weed equals supporting legal meth for kids!?

    I'm simply curious.
    Are you claiming that you are able to tell that someone is stoned by what or how they write?
    If I see that someone has misspelled a word, made a grammatical mistake or a "typo", I don't automatically assume that they are stoned.
    Thanks,
