Yeah but do you know how accurate that saliva test is? Everything I've read says that they can only determine if there is a presence of THC but not how much. Therefore, you could have gotten high 2 days ago but it still reads out as a positive even though you currently have no buzz at all. They don't have any way of determining how stoned you actually are at the moment.
On the contrary, with alcohol they can determine your BAC, which is a clear determination of how much alcohol is in your system and presently affecting you.

I remember driving home so high I couldn't remember if I'd stopped for any of the traffic lights.

Prohibition has been working really well the last 90 years.
Pot and mushrooms should be legal. All the rest need to be proven why they should be.

this whole concept that "weed is stronger now than it was before, which is a negative" argument is strange to me.
How much beer does the average UJ consume in an evening? 4, 5 beers? How many ounces of beer is that? 60 ounces if they were 12 ounce cans.
If you were at a party and they were serving liquor instead of beer or wine, would you still drink 60 ounces? Of course not, you would (hopefully) drink enough to get to your preferred personal level of inebriation.
its the same with stronger weed. you actually smoke less each time and sometimes can go much longer between sessions of imbibing. smoking less weed means you are inhaling less carcinogens and are doing less damage to your lungs, which is a positive.
stronger weed (with responsible consumption) is safer than yesteryears 2% garbage ditch weed.

When I was a kid we would get high and play monopoly. The games would take forever cause everybody would zone out and not pay attention to when they were up.
"Dude! It's your turn.
"Whhaat?"
It's your turn man.
Oh.
Over and over and over.

Because the acid melts the tires?

They just look that way until you come down.

Gunzen said he was using medical marijuana. I'm not sure if he still is.

Weed just put me to sleep and made a little bitch I knew crawl inside of himself once while we were on acid. My whole goal that entire trip was to smash the bottle he was holding on to for dear life in front of him hoping that sad little sack of shit never came back.

I did me some acid back in the day. I'll never regret it 'cause it left me with some memorable experiences on several occasions. Can you still even buy acid? Damn, I lost contact with all my druggie friends.

Yeah, I've noticed the shift, too. Personally, I think it makes sense. Weed tends to chill people out, while alcohol can make people more aggressive and reckless, especially when binge drinking. For a lot of students, smoking feels like a more relaxed and manageable way to unwind. Plus, recovery from smoking isn't as rough as dealing with a hangover, which probably appeals to college kids who don't want to lose a whole day.
As for the health side, I've cut back on drinking because weed or vaping feels like a safer choice for me. I vape a bit to stay away from the harsher stuff, and something like
VIHO Supercharge Pro is great for that, especially when you want a controlled experience. If you're going to use something, why not make it a bit easier on yourself?
