Some people in 12 step-based recovery programs have a problem with this site. They are so crippled from their addictions that anything ANYTHING, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, that has anything to do with any temptation to them is the worst thing they've ever come across --- and it's absolutely horrible for them to see any possibility in the world that, yes, there are people in the world who don't suffer the same bad consequences for doing the same vices.
Personally I don't smoke pot and don't recommend anyone does unless they have a legitimate medical ailment that pot will remedy. I am even willing to say that most people who do pot don't need to smoke pot and a lot of those same people are pot addicts --- but what they do does not seem to put out as much immediate harm to others as alcohol,
which is way more toxic.
A stoned apathetic idiot is always way more calm and subdued than some drunken'
belligerent dumb ass.
