I've never noticed people looking forward to getting drunk in quite the same way, or planning ahead like that.

Dilbert...m8, You have no friends you can notice

That is irrelevant...

it is entirely relevant~ a life without friends is like a day without sunshine.

Saying people that drinks do not prepare/talk about it is a bit... naive?
The talk about the snacks, the right soda to mix with, buying pills for the hangover BEFORE the hangover?

But they don't plan it weeks or months in advance - maybe because alcohol is more available, I don't know.

Sure they do. The office Christmas Party, Graduation Day, New Years, Labor Day, Housewarming etc. All "omagad I'm gonna be so wasted!" including preparations as renting a cabin, buying new clothes, thinking what special alcoholic beverages one should buy instead of the generic weekend brew, all this, just to get hammered beyond recognition and later on ask everyone if one had fun because of complete memory loss due to alcohol poisoning.

If getting high should equal months of preparations it would be a chill-fest one would not want to miss, even if they didn't smoke weed.

Nothing annoys me more than weed advocates. They're right up there with the sloppy frat guy telling everyone how much he likes booze and the bible thumper knocking on your door attempting to preach to you. If you smoke, fine, keep it to yourself. It doesn't make you cool to smoke. Maybe that works when you're 15 and the height of coolness is getting away with stuff but those also tend to be the same people who 'peaked in high school'.

Call me a control freak but I want to have control over my faculties at all times. I've smoked a handful of times and all it did was slow shit down and make uninteresting people interesting for an hour or so. It just blunts stress or any other feelings you may have. Me? Whether it's pleasure or pain I don't want anything standing between me and the feeling. Bring it on. It reminds you that you are human. Shielding yourself doesn't, it just means you are weak.

Are you referring to recreational use, or any use?

So you don't drink alcohol either, at all?

So you would go through a root canal without any anesthesia?

So you equate life with having a root canal and you need weed to get you through the day?

doesnt really make much sense and it definetely doesn't answer the question...

i had a wisdom tooth and the one next to it out the other day, he gave me some  anesthesia for it....i do not regard myself as weak.

i fail to see anywhere in jsnipy post where he referred to 'smoking weed all day'

Who said anything about being high all the time? If you let any substance interfere with your professional and social life, it's called a problem. Cannabis isn't something you have to do all day every day to "cope with the pain that is life". If that is the case for someone, that someone needs professional help. If it's restricted to that "beer after work" or as a relaxing weekend pastime either with or without friends, there's no issue.

It's more fun with friends anyway.

The difference is that the single beer isn't going to make you inebriated. Getting high is an all or nothing thing. Sure, there are different states but in my experience I wouldn't want to drive a car just 'a little high' whereas after one beer I can function 100%.

Did I ever say to stop smoking? No. What I said was that weed advocates are the same as alcoholics, bible thumpers, or any other social group that tries to become less socially marginal by adding to it's member ranks. The first person to ever rice a car was probably looked at like a complete moron. As soon as people started copying his idea he gained social acceptance. See how this works? You smoke? Fine. Stop trying to 'convert' people to your cause.

I think the point is drugs are acceptable when you can't deal with the situation any other way - eg a root canal.
If you need drugs to deal with everyday life then you have a problem.

Exactly. He put up a ridiculous extreme example and he got the answer he deserved.
