Guess you've never heard of edibles that don't involve smoking at all. And yes the effect is the goal the same as smoking a cigar, cigarette, or drinking a beer.
If you only drink beer for the enjoyment of the beverage itself, then switch to non-alcoholic beer. For some people two beers and they are drunk. Individual tolerances are different. And even though you only drink one beer with zero buzz factor as you say, the alcohol still has its effects & impairments just as taking a single toke will. Face it, you drink a beer not just for the taste but also the effect. If you had 2 beers with lunch, left the pub and got in an accident, although below DUI limits the alcohol will make the situation a lot worse as far as the police and insurance are concerned. I find it completely hypocritical when someone says they only drink because it tastes good. Part of the enjoyment of the beverage is the alcohol itself. Otherwise you would be drinking non-alcoholic beer and wine.
Wow.
Grasping at straws here.
I don't know why you get so offended when I tell you like it is. Stereotype? The whole medicinal mj movement and the push to legalize it is fronted by stoners. That's not opinion.
Massachusetts had two recent votes in the last couple years. To make it a simple misdemeanor for 1 oz and less. And to legalize medicinal use.
I saw the proponents for both. I witnessed the rallies. I watched college kids organize who have never even voted before.
As for non-alcohol beer and wine? Tastes like crap. I'm not a bud light guy, I like a decent microbrew.
And I'm sorry that you only drink beer for the buzz. That's sign of an addictive behavior, which may explain your penchant for mj?
I often have friends over and we'll drink a beer.
This happens all the time and is completely normal. It's called being a mature adult.
There is no equivalent casual use when speaking of pot. Don't try to pretend that there is.
By the way, if I had a beer and got into an accident, and my blood level was legal, then neither the cops nor the insurance company could do squat. It wouldn't matter. Alcohol is legal when consumed by an adult. How on earth could the cops or insurer give me any grief? The situation would not be "a lot worse" to quote you. It wouldn't be worse at all.
You're actually starting to make a case against mj use. Because paranoia is the other side effect. After forgetting stuff.
And stuff.
