A person doesnt need to seek out alcohol or drugs. Both are readily found at supermarkets. All that has changed is that the laws are slowly getting tougher in terms of who can purchase them, and in what quantities. Yes they can I wont argue that. Alcohol has been integrated into the US social structure. What I was saying that for was to make the point that alcohol and drugs arent needed for survival so depending on varying circumstances some people may never come across or know that it's not a needed substance to live. Whereas we are all susceptible to food addiction because we all have to consume it to live. And in countries like the US where the food opinions are a myriad it's not a surprise that people easily succumb to over influence in food.

Hi Adam! I have to admit as conversations go, this has been a thought-provoking one. It makes for interesting reading!

Speaking of alcohol and drugs, one of my hall-mates came back from a frat party crossfaded really badly last night. He was hallucinating that he was a king and was chain-smoking three cigarettes. He even almost tried walking into the forest next to our school so we had to run after him and carry him back into his dorm room.

Stories like that are why I've always stuck with alcohol and only tried marijuana once. I've never had hallucinations, trips or lack of reality due to drinking.

For the first five or so years after high school, I was completely gone 90% of the time and rarely completely sober. Moved and got married, and quit everything but booze but my intake steadily increased. About three years ago I was drinking every night until I couldn't lift the bottle. A couple years after that I was visiting a buddy and got more liquor-sick than I have ever been. Haven't had a drop of booze since, and I don't miss it. I still miss pot every day, though.

My teenage and early 20s were during the 1970s when everything was cool. Probably tipped at least a dozen times and always enjoyed it. Did it while going to a concert.movie theater,an orgy,a disco, a witches coven, a journey to nowhere, or just hanging with friends listening to music-I always had a good time with no regrets. I stopped because I did it enough. Its like a 12 hour commitment and it wasn't special anymore and it wasn't addictive. I've tried just about everything during the 70s and the only thing I continued with was pot. Booze was never a favorite so I very rarely drink. Very,very rarely.I got no regrets at all.Guess I was fortunate

In the club scene, I saw many horror stories when it came to drugs. One boy freaked right out afterwards imaging he was in a room full of spiders and they were crawling all over his body. Another man was a heavy user and seldom in a good frame of mind, he ended up being committed to a mental institution. Even friends I thought would never do drugs got heavily into them; it was very sad to see.

Great. No easy way to just delete an account either. I've sent them an email. Haven't logged in in six years.

I've never had any of those things with either alcohol or pot. I've never thrown up due to pot; can't say the same about alcohol. The one time I tried it (and from a reliable person I knew other than getting drugs from) and it was good quality stuff, it made me hyper. Like taking my sons adderall would do to me. Didn't like that part of it, if that's what it would do to me all the time. I know most people mellow out, but it didn't do that for me. But alcohol does, and it's probably been 3-4 years since I've drank stupidly enough to get sick. My wife who shared the joint with me, had a great time, nothing she said, but the best feelings in the world. She also rarely drinks cause she gets sick easily.

Different strains of cannabis have different effects; there's probably one that you'd enjoy. One of the benefits of legalization is the proliferation of varieties and strengths.

You should have called him a poseur and see if he snapped out of it.
I don't mean to sound cynical but having enjoyed/endured 4 years of college, and graduating!, I can tell you that these rather trite and melodramatic outbursts of your peers 'hallucinating' will go the way of the edsel as your college years progress.

I have been "straight edge" all of my life (just not, you know, straight). Never had an alcoholic beverage, cigarette or illegal drug in my life.
