Is getting drunk overrated? Options

[Spectatrix]

I don't see the point in getting drunk. I got drunk once and didn't think much of it... getting buzzed felt good, but getting to the point of "drunk" just kinda felt meh. I mean, you gradually lose control of your inhibitions (sometimes a good thing, admittedly) and motor functions and you often end up feeling like crap in the morning, even if you DIDN'T do something you regret.

Discuss.

i don't like potheads really

i tell my friend jeremy do NOT bring drugs over to my apartment, period. of course, half an hour after he comes over he asks if he can smoke in my bathroom. no, fuckwad. then he asks if he can smoke on my balcony. NO, FUCKWAD. then he asks if he can go down by my truck and smoke weed. NO, FUCKWAD.

i don't get it. when i come to someone's house i've never been before, i'll always ask if it's ok if i bring beer, even though i'm of age. it's a respect thing. potheads waltz into anyone's house with their illegal substances and immediately ask where the can toke up. go away, assholes.

Broad over generalization. I don't like to be high around people who dont smoke. And I would never bring pot over to someones house who does not like it.

The liver can regenerate. If you drink and get wasted at a once a month party. You're fine.

If you drink alcohol everyday, you're fucked.


Pot is different. You're head still gets fucked up even if you smoke it occasionally.

We are talking about pot right? For a second I thought you were talking about acid

smoking pot is stupid....i don't care if it's casual or you're addicted to it...your body still suffers the effects....


you lose things, you forget things, your mind wanders and you can't focus.....all for a short out of body experience....

Two hours is hardly short...

And i used to lose things before I ever smoked pot...

it destroys erections

Alcohol does that, pot actually makes you last longer.

Some of you seem to think that pot effects everyone the same way, this is not the truth. Pot effects differ with the person who smokes. Some people "tweak" out and get really paranoid. Other people are total douche bags and many more are just laid back cool people. Same with alcohol. Some people who drink are happy drunks, other people are violent drunks. Stop with the over generalizations...

Pot is not physically addictive, only psychologically addictive unlike alcohol which is both.

Pot is not physically addictive? What kind of crap is that?

So you smoke pot for what reason? Obviously to get high....there's the physical addictiveness.

It's psychological if you tell yourself you're not going to do it anymore and that night you smoke pot.


Alcohol is the exact same way. The effects on the body are minor when done in moderation.
Pot fucks you over regardless of how much you moderate it. Tpically, people who smoke pot become chain smokers. They'll smoke packs of cigs a day.

Does Jenna smoke packs of cigs a day?


I KNOW physical addiction. I am physically addicted to caffiene and tobacco. When I got a few days without them I get headaches, and other adverse effects. Phsycological addiction is when I have not smoked pot for a few days and I think to myself "damn I have not smoked pot in awhile, I am bored. i wish I had some pot"

Have you ever smoked pot or done any research? If you have not then I will suggest you shut up because I have an exstensive knowledge of all things drugs and exactly how addictive they are both from research and personal experience. Things like Meth and cocaine are HIGHLY physically addicitve, but marijuana is not. The only bad things about pot are being lazy, eating a whole bag of fritos, possible lung cancer (which I would get regardless) and some cognitive side effects which go away when you quit smoking for an extended period.

Nicotine, the active ingredient in tobacco smoke, has long
been known to be highly addictive. In fact, doctors and
pharmacologists are not in consensus as to which is more addictive
-- nicotine, or heroin. Physical addiction occurs when a chemical
becomes essential for the body or metabolism to function. In other
words, a substance is said to be physically addictive if extended
use results in a build up of tolerance in the body to the extent
that discontinuing use of the substance results in negative side
effects. Called "withdrawal symptoms," these consequences can
include anxiety, stress, trauma, depression and physical conditions
such as shakes or nausea.

Cannabis is also radically different from tobacco in that it
does not contain nicotine and is not addictive. The psychoactive
ingredient in marijuana, THC, has been accused of causing brain
and genetic damage, but these studies have all been disproven.
In fact, the DEA's own Administrative Law Judge Francis Young has
declared that "marijuana in its natural form is far safer than
many foods we commonly consume."
