I take it Lightning offers his idea of pot here? I got the impression
BTLs substitute hard drugs like heroin in the 205x'es, are highly
addictive and dangerous because of unfiltered "peaks" in the replay.
Canabis is less addictive then cigarettes are, and causes less
damage to your body (but because one usually smokes it with
tabacco as ... uh, "carrier" (?) the tabacco's health and addiction
levels do come in on this, of course).
AFAIK it's not sure mental disorders arise from long-term use, but
until I fnd sufficent proof (beyond "the people _I_ know...") I will not
argue about it (although the people _I_ know... *grin*)
Get me right: I am not propagating the consumation of canabis, but
there are differences beteen hard drugs and pot, and both alcohol
and cigarettes are more addictive and dangerous for your health then
pot. Stay away from all those drugs, even or especially the legal
ones, to be safe.
The problem why I get nervous when this topic is brought up is
canabis is illegal, and people consuming it automagically get contact
to dealers who'll trade in hard drugs, too. Or why do you think dope
is considered a "beginner's drug"? Would you really believe smoking
pot wakes the desire to smoke crack?
