lol accurate. You could define "drugs" as almost anything in that sense.
Caffeine is a psychological stimulant.[7] It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug, but unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world. Part of the reason caffeine is classified by the Food and Drug Administration as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) is that toxic doses, over 10 grams per day for an adult, are much higher than the typically used doses of under 500 milligrams per day: an over twentyfold difference.

And if you consider having a beer or drinking a cup of coffee "doing drugs" well I can't help it that you don't understand the definition of that phrase

I've NEVER had a single prescription drug, ever, so you just lost $20. But that's OK, I won't actually ask you pay it because I'm a nice guy

And no, I don't need that cup of coffee every day. I can just as easily do without. No, I don't get drunk, ever. I rarely even touch an OTC painkiller like Tylenol.
Heh, I find it funny how bent out of shape some of you get over my refusal to touch pot I even said I couldn't care less if it was legalized but I guess that isn't good enough lol.
huh? I think you are just naive about the reality of drugs in our culture, and the substances that are actually considered drugs.
caffeine? absolutely. It's extremely addictive and can certainly kill the shit out of a human--and with an alarmingly "moderate" concentration.
Now you sound (correct me if I am wrong) like you want to be able to work, drive and do other potentially dangerous activities high? You will *NEVER* get that to fly in America, no mater how much anecdotal evidence you have of being able to fly high just fine.
They're both disgusting And smokers of both persuasions are assholes for lighting up around other people, indoors or outdoors. Both seem to believe that their smoke magically vanishs as they exhale. Last weekend I had to leave a concert I had driven five hundred miles to attend because a bunch of fuckstain pot smokers chose to light up in a packed concert hall. Bunch of inconsiderate assholes.
I said no such thing. I am simply saying that marijuana is not "exactly like alcohol." The two substances have vastly different effects. Alcohol is not a reasonable model for understanding how marijuana affects people. That is all.

Weed? Uh... you get high from it? Meh. No interest in that.
Also, the buzz you get from a few drinks is going to be a lot more debilitating than getting "high" from smoking some pot, especially if you have smoked pot even a few times before.
Not really. The strains of pot now and the concentrated forms of it are just designed to get you as blasted as possible as quickly as possible.
At least with beer you can pick a weak session beer and either have a few and little effect or drink them all night and still be fairly sober.
Admittedly the pot 'arms race' is a side effect of its illegal nature and and argument for its legalisation but I think even then it's going to take a while to get it to a normal level.
Bullshit, there is no pot arms race,
pot is only getting better in quality because its easier to grow good quality weed, you could get just as high quality weed back in the 70s and 80s, it was just a lot more rare because the information on how to properly grow the weed wasn't available on the internet like it is today. That doesn't mean it didn't exist at all though, 20%+ THC strains have been around for decades, hell even 30% THC strains have been around for awhile, and those are fairly rare even today.
Really? Things like shatter are sold on what basis if not their strength?
Pot is getting stronger. As you say below.
The cheap easy to get mexican ditch weed has been and always will be weak shit, and it is still commonly sold to high school kids and poorer people who don't know better or can't afford better weed. Back in the day it was a lot easier to find so, many people in the mid west especially or places where there wasn't a large growing community would get this crappy low quality weed. However, you COULD still get high quality 20% THC weed back in the day, you either had to be growing it yourself, know a quality grower, or know someone who is importing from south america. Connoisseurs were still getting their high quality weed, even if it was rare and more expensive.If more of the stuff being smoked then was weaker than now then that would mean that the stuff being smoked now is stronger than then, yes?
That's fine, but you essentially are acting like all people who smoke pot are the same as drinkers who binge drink every day. Which couldn't be further from the truth.I'm not getting into a Pot>Beer argument. They both have their place its just that weed needs to get beyond the whole prohibition phase and grow up.
They are sold on their THCa//CBD/CBN content, which have different effects and varying usefulness depending on the patient.

Now, to your point about shatter and other concentrates, BHO (concentrates, oil, etc) has been around since at least the 70s if not before, pressed hash has been around for hundreds of years before this and hash can be way more powerful than just smoking the regular plant. Hash can even be more powerful than low end shatter.
That's fine, but you essentially are acting like all people who smoke pot are the same as drinkers who binge drink every day. Which couldn't be further from the truth.
Hash used to be the predominant source of THC in the UK in the 80s. You know why?
Because of its strength it was easy to smuggle enough to make a profit.
The potency of street forms of THC was a side effect of its illegality.
How are you making this claim? Based on what?
I like hash and other concentrates because I can take 1 hit and be just as high as if I had smoked an entire joint. It's easier on my lungs and it generally works instantly or within a few moments.
Potency is a GOOD thing because it means I need to smoke LESS in order to get medicated. I would MUCH rather take a single dab of shatter than to smoke a whole unfiltered joint which is going to make me cough and retch for 30 minutes.
I just don't understand how potency = bad?
Vodka must be terrible, why would ANYONE want to drink vodka when they could just drink 5-10x as much liquid in beer instead and get the same alcohol content.
But the whole drinks industry doesnt market by going 'Look at our product! Its the strongest!!11!! It'll get you buzzed after one hit!!1121!!'.
