I do not smoke pot & have only tried it once when I was 19. Although it wasn't for me I believe we should focus on the drugs that we KNOW are killing people. I have never been robbed,beaten or had my car totaled by someone who smokes pot. I cannot say the same about the other drugs.
I lost my child to heroin. I would gladly allow him to smoke pot everyday if he were here.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe if he had a legal alternative such as marijuana, the story would have turned out differently?

Regarding your friend, there's no excuse for getting high at work and the edibles are a different animal. I'd advise no one to use edibles unless they follow the dosing instructions very carefully. You're not going to die from eating too much, but it's fairly easy to go overboard and get whacked out. Stick to the tried and true smoke and you'll be fine. A puff or two is all you need, moderation is the key...

I've used edibles and it is true that it's a different kind of high. One of the problems that inexperienced people have with edibles is that it doesn't hit you right away. It can take an hour or more before you start to feel the effect, and if you are used to the immediate effect you get with smoking, you might eat more thinking it's not working. And then it hits you all at once. And it can be overwhelming if you aren't ready for it and it lasts longer than a smoking high. So you're right, you need to follow the dosing instructions carefully.

most people that smoke pot aren't bad people too.. I've seen booze wreck a lot of lives, my bro was one of then. but I don't rag on all the boozers!!!! most drink responsibly..

mostly the young make pot and alcohol look bad..
