Because there is a giant difference. My point was clear.

Yes, your unsubstantiated opinion was quite clear. A story oft told, in fact, but mostly, like yours, personal opinion disguised as fact.

Your questions don’t bother me at all. In fact, here are the answers:

Yes. On occasion.
It can be enjoyable.
Yes. 3.
They already are, and yes, I have.
It’s never come up. Doubt it will. It’s not how they roll.
Asked and answered.
Asked and answered.

But, to be clear, I don’t equate alcohol and pot. Alcohol kills. I’ve seen it firsthand on too many occasions.

Friend’s brother killed in high school by a drunk driver.
Friend himself drank himself to death at age 39.
Another friend drank himself to death at age 49.

The potsmokers? Still alive. And like the rest of us, some are thriving, some just surviving, and most are somewhere in between.

Cheers.

It's never come up? Do you live in a convent? It's only not come up because you've chose to ignore the subject. (and just to qualify, yes, that's an opinion, as is 95% of whats said here. Didn't know I had to distinguish everything I print. You sound a little paranoid.)If it's never come up, how do you know it's not how ‘they roll’? Maybe they do like to roll. Do your kids know you smoke pot? Since to you it's actually less harmful than alcohol, why not introduce them? Would you connect them with your dealer if they decided they like it? I've given you a shovel, keep digging, dad of the year.

They call it dope for a reason.

And it’s a far cry from alcohol. You can have a drink or two and still think rationally. Once you are stoned, even a little bit stoned, your mindset completely changes. And not for the better.

Why is it that some folks see alcohol use as a spectrum (drink a little, minimal impact - drink a lot, major impact) but think pot is like a light switch, on or off, and once on, you were all in?

Bramps, when you smoked pot, did you never notice that if you took just a hit or two off the joint the impact was considerably less than if you burned the big fatty all by yourself?

Invented "facts" are all the Drug Warriors have to work with.
