Prometheus NY, we just keep on agreeing on all the threads we post on.
Armin77: So, shall I stop drinking my weekly cup of whine or shall I begin to smoke that stuff?
Like I said, I prefer that people stick to alcohol. It's the western way. We don't need katt, marijuana, opium or some other ****. So stick with your wine.
Neurologically I have absolutely no idea, but from a bit heavier abuse than what you do I have read reports that state that marijuana is easier on the brain....
Personally I think it's best to keep to alcohol in moderation, that way you can have fun, tie back to your cultural heritage, be legal and avoid any noticable brain dysfunctions - all at the same time.
That, however is not an argument for banning other substances. Let each and everyone decide if they want to abuse alcohol, marijuana, heroin - or if they'd like to use a particular substance in moderation.
