then we talked about how alcohol is worse than pot. anyone want to shed some light on the topic?
Interesting about alcohol. I was never a big drinker, I used to party and I would get F'd up, but those weren't a common occurance. After I got out of the service, I started drinking, it quickly evolved into full blown alcoholism. I was waking up @ 6 am to start drinking beer. I was consuming roughly 40 beers a day.

The withdrawl sypthoms from alcohol are very painful. I was shaking, hungry from never eating, but never wanting to eat.

I was quickly broke and doing dumb things like driving drunk, real drunk. Finally I caused an accident, totalled my truck that was almost payed off and have been fucked ever since. Alcohol has defaintly had a negative impact on my life.

I can honestly that pot has not. The only harm that has come from smoking pot is in the form of outside forces (Cops) busting me for pot. I function great as does my wife.

Now I need to go get some beer. later.
