Same scenario - I'm smoking pot - totally mellowed out, watching TV... Police say they can smell pot, (Which hey probably would) and I'm off to the police station... However, I'm not operating a grow farm.. Just indulging...
Really not fair, but legal, cause booze is, and pot isn't...  |
yeah I hear you mate. I do everything to excess, and cannabis fucked me up mentally far quicker than the drink did - I knocked that shit on the head when I was 19 or so. I get where people say about stoners not hurting anyone else, it's a very good point. I only really became violent regularly during my last few years of drinking, though any visit to any bar on any day of the week will quickly show that there's plenty of people who aren't hard drinkers though the alcohol just turns them into assholes.
Seen way too many long term stoners to believe an ounce of this "it doesn't affect you mentally at all, and expands the mind" crap is an across the board situation. Sure, it doesn't affect a minority that way, but is far from the standard.
Anyway... to those who can indulge in whatever in moderation, good on you, and enjoy whatever it is that is your particular 'poison'
