Let me be clear, my brother smoked it before he got hurt, he just smokes it more now But he takes a hit or two and leaves it at that. But he does it several times a day.
What I mean about the exception is that most people who smoke a lot are not highly functional. I could always tell the stoners from the drunks at work (I was in a field dominated by 20 something guys) because the drinkers would miss days here and there or show up hung over and not be worth a crap until after noon. The tokers would be just a little late all the time and just take things a little slower. I mean, hell i'd rather deal with the stoners except for a crisis. The only way you could get most of them to move was say "hey, did you drop that baggie?"

now thats just funny right there, i dont care who you are LOL
and your right man, potheads just take things slower, but, generally speaking, they do pay much more attention to detail, thats one of the benefits, as i see it, of pot, you can focus soooo much easier

aqua, i know quite a few people who share that same opinion, hell, i smoke cigs because i enjoy the taste, not because of how it makes me feel, but because of the taste and flavor of good cigs, same with weed, good weed tastes good to me, it has nothing to do with the side affect
I am not sure I've heard anyone say they like the taste of weed but I like the smell, does that count?
I think liking the taste is something you acquire over time. First few times I smoked cigs they pretty much sucked. About time I started liking the taste we moved and my source dried up until I met new friends and by that time I lost interest, just got lucky.

I've heard others make the claim about focus, I know I couldn't. One of out technicians was so well focused we had to go out to an account and wake him up. He had crawled behind a machine and fell asleep. And he didn't even get fired for it. Thats how common it was among the techs. Of course we couldn't send hi back to that account again

Hey in my world we would legalize but make public intoxication of any type a crime. First offense no huge deal, anyone can

[hr]
up. Second offense big fine, 3 offense off to detox and rehab, you gotta problem. If we tax the stuff, limit the war on drugs to border enforcement we can take the money and create world class treatment centers and quit sending users to criminal school/

HA, that's funny. Weed is natural, comes from mother nature, people make it look like it is oh so bad because it is illegal and frowned upon, but yet im sure the people who don't like potheads, have a nice stash of liquor in their kitchen, which i'd say is worse.
Weed - gives you the munchies and you laugh alot.
alchohol - so much more can happen.
Let the guy do what he wants, everyone is making a big deal out of nothing.
..so do Arsenic, Lead, and Mercury.

Both alcohol and cigarettes should be illegal, but they are a part of society that cannot be erased. But making something illegal obviosly doesn't make it unatainable.
And there are some types weed that have a good fruity taste and can be very easy on the lungs. So good weed is like good alcohol AquaKnight.
