At 19, I’m 54 now, figured out marijuana was better for my head than alcohol. I buy ethanol but only to make extractions.

Those who drink 
usually don’t smoke much , those who smoke normally don’t drink much ? It’s not many who can do both?

No alcohol here. I grew up working in my family’s liquor store for about 15 years. If it was up to me I would make alcohol illegal, or make it much harder to buy. It accounts for more deaths in our society than most anything else. That should be a red flag to tell us something, heh?
I’ve been smoking weed for about 50 years, since middle school. I’ve never been arrested.
In October Amazon announced that they would not be testing for cannabis as they can’t find drivers in California. This is an interesting dilemma, since the Department Of Transportation governs the road and drivers are typically required to be checked. What if they have less accidents after relaxing their cannabis inclusion in the test?
I wonder how the government would fight them on that?
All this tells us is that cannabis is coming out of prohibition, for lack of a better term. One day it will be legal in all states. California paved the way…look at all the states going medical nowadays? Hmmm, who thought of that one? Then decriminalize it. Hmmm, who thought of that one? Our first vote failed in Cali, due to a bogus written bill, IMO. But I think the law is good now, up to 6 plants for cultivation and no registration needed to buy in a dispensary.
One thing we need to be careful of, and that is how the fed/state tax cannabis. This is why the cultivation is key, you can have free cannabis for life if so. Takes time and we all know how impatient people are, so there will always be folks that opt to buy over the counter. Many states, such as Lousiana seem to be trying to push the people into buying and taxing them, and not allowing them to grow. Let’s see if Lousiana changes it’s cultivation laws.

It’s proven statistics on it already ?
Colorado has had less work related accidents by less than 79% since legalizing medical cannabis as recreational ?
Numbers can only be added , subtracted , divided by , or multiplied , but numbers will never lie , humans does that ?

That doesn’t surprise me, I feel strongly that cannabis is much safer to operate and drive machinery than alcohol.
I saw an interesting company is Colorado selling a system that would test to see if people were coherent to operate machinery. They claimed it was not just any specific reason like alcohol or cannabis, but that our lives have stress in them and we need to deal with that, and in some cases that makes people a danger to operate.
There is some irony there, since when alcohol went through prohibition the people’s voice was strong that they wanted it. Now it seems like the government is gun shy trying to claim as they long have, that crazy hippie types smoke. Like the Cheech and Chong types, Tommy Chong is the epitome of what they have tried to make us believe. There are a lot of executives that smoke, not me, but I’m not exactly like Tommy Chong on TV either. LOL

I drink a couple of beers after work all summer long, usually doing yard work or gardening. I quit drinking beer for the winter time because I’m not as active but we’ll still have a mixed drink or two in the evening when I’m relaxing. Then I will take a couple of hits about an hour before I’m ready for bed and I am good to go for an awesome night sleep. I very seldom use marijuana or drink in the daytime unless I’m on vacation, most of my vacations are spent at Rock festivals🤟

At my worst I was downing 1.75 Liters a night. I’m down to about half a 750ml. 80+ proof whisky usually. Every day. Started drinking 19 years ago. Used to smoke along side of the alcohol, consuming 1/4lb a week. With pills, and anything else I could get. 
trying to find a replacement smoke. Thus came my journey here.

I remember acid being great… never could get any shrooms worth purchasing. But I’ve heard the medical aspects are incredible with micro dosing.

For an Irish girl I prefer buds over booze. If I’m making pizza or Italian food I feel compelled to open a bottle of red and have a glass, some for me and some for the sauce. If it’s a really bad day I’ll have a Scotch with my bowl of weed…But I do love a Mai Tai, I’ll never turn down one of those!
