When I was in my teen years and everyone was drinking, I couldn't. I would drink maybe half a beer and barf. So, I was the designated driver. Also, did not do MJ then.
I guess about age 21 I tried MJ and it was SO great, good mood, easy laugh, getting slowed down so slowwwww it was funny. I remember (later) trying to read a sales agreement my friend signed when she bought a sofa on credit, and we ended up in a heap on the floor; we could hardly get through one sentence of the small print and understand it.
Oh well. What happened years later was MJ stopped being fun. I would have a toke or two, and start feeling bad, like it was dooms day, paranoid, and terrified.
So, it was about then I started drinking (at a family reunion) and lo and behold I had gotten over my "allergy" or whatever it was that kept me sober in my youth. So, then I started drinking way too much, and now I don't drink anymore.
But, when it worked, MJ got me through some very bad times, helped me plane out, made life a bit more humorous. I don't know why the switch flipped on it.
Anyway, about the act of smoking--my understanding is that MJ is much worse than cigarettes for you. Or that could be propaganda. There is a lot of propaganda out there.
Everybody, all together now....
