Smell? It's a drug.

Hilarious stoners don't think it's addictive. I had a GF that couldn't leave the house without toking. 6 am or 6 pm.

We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like livin' right, and bein' free

There are 50 states. Find one you like.
Okie From Muskogee. By the great Merle Haggard. Not the Grateful Dead (who were great also).

You might even go out with your coworkers for beers after work, but if you ask if they want to smoke a joint you'll lose your job and good luck finding another one thanks to pre-employment drug screening. Alcohol typically makes people more aggressive and to certain people, more prone to anger and violence. Weed typically mellows people out and just makes them laugh. Even if you use marijuana for medicinal reasons, you have to keep it on the down-low because conservative society says it's just an excuse for potheads to smoke pot. Yet, the same people wouldn't bat an eye at people popping Oxycontin all day long.

Why is drinking a few beers after work to wind down the day socially acceptable but smoking a joint isn't?
Who says that weed is socially unacceptable?

It's addictive, but alcohol withdrawal will kill a person in extreme cases. Quitting weed isn't pleasant but quitting cigarettes is worse.

I told him this just the other day in more or less words. If it was really as important as his thread count on the subject makes it appear to be, this should be the first course of action.

One shouldn't have to move if they aren't violating the natural rights of another.
