I've seen so many lives ruined by alcohol it's unreal. I've never seen a single life destroyed by marijuana. And I've NEVER had someone who was high hand me a joint and say, "Hold my joint and watch this shit..."

Me either - my dad was a major drunk, and I don't just mean he drank, I mean he was an extremely violent drunk and it was what I grew up with, so drinking isn't something I even have a single little bit of tolerance for - I have a brother the same way - and I stay as far away as I can - the last time I was around my dad, he was in a drunken rage and trying to make me lose my baby I was carrying - (pregnant with) and I swore that was all I was going to deal with. To this very day, just the mere smell of it makes me sick to my stomach.
However, I was told by more than a handful of Drs that pot would help my heart condition - and it has, but it's very hard to raise kids NOT to when you are doing it - and the "I do it for my health" doesn't exactly wash - so I just don't do it, but you can bet your ass if it was legal, I would - it's the only thing known that keeps my heart rate in check where it should be!
And like you, I've never taken a beating within an inch of my life from anyone high, but have more than a few times from drunks!
And for the record, my husband doesn't drink either, we share feelings on this one. lol
