The same day I had a conversation with you guys about my outdated phone, I've mentioned it to my husband and guess what he gets me for my birthday?
HTC EVO Shift (http://www.htc.com/us/products/shift-sprint/ - broken link)
BTW, is there a designated age when I'm supposed to be no longer excited when it's my birthday? I still feel like a kid on this day, cheerful and giggly...
Of course, that just means there was more for me - for which I thank you.
Seriously - I've been both drunk and stoned. For me, drinking is FAR worse in terms of losing control. Through experimenting in HS and college with different types of booze I can tell you that certain ones would bring on a massive personality change, not to mention the loss of motor control and the attendant hang-overs. Pot never had that effect on me.
I certainly wouldn't drive (or operate other heavy machinery LOL) while under the influence of either, but the stats speak for themselves - alcohol is FAR worse in terms of accidental deaths than pot; in fact, not a single documented case of death from pot in terms of overdose can be found.
As for it being a gateway drug - that's a hold-over from the "Reefer Madness" days. If a person has an abusive personality they'll progress to hard drugs no matter what. Pot used to be the easiest "drug" to obtain for a first-timer so of course people call it a gateway, but it has no addictive properties nor does it necessarily lead to harder drug usage.
Sorry for the rant - it's just my personal viewpoint on a subject that I feel strongly about, seemingly shared with a few million other people.
I wasn't trying to be smug---hope it didn't come off sounding like that. I just always have to plead ignorance when people talk about being stoned...just never wanted to go there. Most people think I'm lying about it anyway. I do agree on the alcohol being at least as bad, or worse when abused.

M'Lady, you never come off as sounding anything other than sweet and charming - no worries.

It is a must have if you have a smart phone.
