I use to drink quite heavily in my Army days, but now I just enjoy a cold one every now and again. If I'm out I'll a couple then switch to N/A.

Yes, I have smoked. Right now I'm looking for a safe reliable local source since I'm a legal MM patient. I have a chronic painful disease with no cure so addiction isn't an issue, as I'll be on meds the rest of life, I just prefer to search for more natural options.

All things can be bad for us. No matter if it's marijuana, alcohol, coffee, pop, chocolate et al. The key is self control and moderation. The moment you need it, you've lost. It controls you at that point.
