Alcohol versus Marijuana

[ermitonto]

I'm not into alcohol very much myself either. My mom doesn't drink and my dad only drinks once in a blue moon, only during social occasions and even then he only has a beer or two...never enough to become visibly drunk. Nevertheless, there was always alcohol in the house (people would sometimes gift my parents alcohol not knowing that they don't like to get drunk). They both used to smoke cigarettes and both quit before they started having children. But talk about stoners! My mom is the only person I know who smokes as much weed every day as I do. My dad doesn't smoke quite as much but he's still a daily toker.

They allowed me to make all my own decisions about what I wanted to put in my body since I became a teenager. However, they knew first-hand how addictive tobacco is so they signed a contract with me, my brother and my sister promising that if we didn't smoke tobacco, they would pay us $50 each every six months for the rest of our lives and would give us each $1,000 when we turn 21. To date none of us have tried it.

But I tried alcohol about five or six times in my teenage years and never really got a positive experience out of it so I just stopped altogether sometime in high school (well, I had a couple beers at my friend's graduation party after that but it tasted like shit and I haven't drank since then).

My junior year of high school my sister was smoking a bowl and I asked her if I could try it. She did, and I don't remember too much about that experience except that I coughed a lot. About a year after that I started smoking weed regularly myself, and the rest is history.

My parents are supportive of my decision to not drink, and they still smoke me up every time I see them. I couldn't have asked for better parents.

Oh man, dont even get me started on this one. My family is really into alcohol. My sister goes to bars and parties all the time, my parents drink a lot more than the average person, and my grandparents wake up with a martini. Everybody thinks it's OK just because it's legal! Where did this myth come from?!Personally, I dont like alcohol, it doesnt do anything for me except make me tired and give me a headache, and it's dangerous, pot on the other hand, only LOOKS dangerous to the public because it's been deemed illegal. It really pisses me off when people look at me as if I'm some rapist just because I do something that I enjoy, and makes me feel good, but is out of the norm.

Thats booze for you,it is the drug responsible for something like 80% of crimes committed ,it is the DRUG that CAUSES SCHIZOPHRENIA and many other mental disorders Your stepfathers attitude is typical of the perverted drug ALCOHOL's proponents they point the accusing finger and spout off rhetoric that we are sick when it is them and their alcohol promoting culture that are the real problem and are the sick ones check out my website for many alcohol related info. YOU TEST FIRST
My new line of attack against these creeps is this.... Any one who wants to know what I do as an adult in the privacy of my own home is a SICK PERVERT with a SERIOUS MENTAL DISORDER,and should be institutionalized till the sickness is cured ,there pathetic sick bastards that don't deserve any pity but there perverted sickness is so serious as to be dangerous to other peoples health and wellbeing as well as liberty so they need medical treatment ,my guess is a good strong dose of Electro-convulsive therapy (lots of them) and it would be appropriate for them to be dosed up with a 1000mics of LSD whilst getting their electric shock treatments.

For sure. My Grandma was killed by a drunk driver and it sucks. I used to drink a lot but I was younger and now i loathe drinking. I'm the designated driver now though, cuz i dont want that shit happening to my friends.
