OT: Why Pot Is Better Than Alcohol

[Richard the Dreaded Liber]

When you're at that point, wondering, "Should I bother to have another?",
With pot, it's like, "Well, if I don't remember, I've obviously had enough."
With alcohol, it's like, "Huh? I'm wondering? Hey! Gimme Another!"

Don't drive without thinking!

Happ Y MMV!

Basically. But even if you have a few doobies too many, it won't kill you,
unlike alcohol. No such thing as ganja poisoning.

No one ever get violent when on pot, but the police can tell you how often
alcohol is envolved.
No one ever exceeds the speed limit when high, the world is already going
too fast...

OK, I'm a geek. I read the subject line and my mind went right to
"pot = potentiometer" -- and so was left wondering, briefly, whether
"Alcohol" was some kind of flakey resistor decade box and if that was
why a potentiometer would be better...

<sigh> I gotta get out more (or at all... ;-)

Nah, the alcohol used used to CLEAN the potentiometer.

Here, it is called a D.U.I. (obviously, Driving Under the Influence) if
the copper's can't nail ya for D.W.I., they'll stick it to ya with this
one.
They will make some kind of "test" up on the spot, which you will
subsequently fail, then BAM you are in GenPop before ye know it!

Are DUI and DWI different charges? Where?

I don't quite understand what you are saying about BAM and GenPop (?), but
the field sobriety test is often videotaped.

In Maryland, for a time at least. DWI was the more serious charge,
for above BAC 0.10, whereas DUI could be charged for .08. Probably
changed by now. They also added a charge of driving other the
influence of other drugs somewhere along the line.

And yes, the cops did come up with phony tests. The old "say the alphabet
backwards" one was a favorite; that's _not_ a legitimate field test.

Yea, they're looking for the response, "I can't
even do that sober!"

But of course most people can't.

You are probably right, but my grandfather taught me. You split it into
groups of three, except to take advantage of the long phrase 'WV' and
the rhyme of V with P. There is also a rhyme of J with A. It works
slightly better with 'zed' than 'zee':

ZYX, WV,

ONM, LKJ,
IHG, FED,

I would argue that alcohol is better than pot, because there are many
different flavors of alcohol, but few of pot. Cigarettes have been
around longer than pot, and how much flavor difference is there?

Unless you distill the escence and inject it with a hypodermic as a
friend
of mine did. At the time (1971) the paper said it was the only known
case
of marijuana poisoning.

Yeah but you dont hear alot about people being killed by a Stoned
Driver, theyre mostly just Drunk Drivers. Or if they ARE stoned,
theyre on other drugs as well. I may be wrong...

"Cigarettes have been around longer than pot"????

WTF?

Just because the US had only had less than a century of funny fag use
in its society before it created the wonderful, but painful, /Reefer
Madness/ doesn't mean that the psychoactive properties of pot weren't
being utilised for at least 2 millennia before the first cigarette was
made (or at least tobacco's use in that form recorded -- chewing and
enemas seem to predate the pipes and the leaf-rolls that became the
modern cigarette).

"Pure" alcohol has a limited range of flavors. The fact that
alcohol-based beverages need other flavors to cover it up should tell
you something.

No need to dilute it - just stick the bottle in the freezer,
that'll cover the taste.

Or so I've been told by a FOAF, obviously.

Dim the lights. Pour a porter/stout. Turn on a UV lamp.
Cringe at the sight.
