Here's the pot use poll:

And here's the alcohol use poll:

So here's what I'm seeing so far: It seems like pot users are a bit more habitual than alcohol users. Check out that bell curve. I know many folks use both, so maybe one displaces the other in some respects. But take a look-see!

And pot smokers, stop being so paranoid. I'm not coming for your stash, a'right?

On edit: It seems that pot smokers really, really, REALLY like their pot. Alcohol users seem to a be a bit more casual. I ask the question "Why?"

1. Hey, get away from my closet!

I told you, there ain't nothing in there!

2. There are people here who WILL steal your stash.

I am not one of them, however. :D

3. Pot has never made me paranoid (and for that I'm thankful).

And I've never understood how it DOES make some paranoid (and I know that's a legitimate reaction some people have). I don't smoke that often--when I have some, I'll take one or two hits every few days--but when I do, I find it very calming. Just mellows me completely out.

My first reaction to pot was "this is illegal??" I'd rather smoke pot than over-drink. No hangover, no stomach ickiness, and its pain relief and sleep aid properties are wonderful. It's really a shame it's been so demonized.

4. in fact...

...whenever I DO have stomach pain from drinking too much (which is once in a blue moon these days), I take a toke and I feel 100% better.

It's an amazing plant and it truly is sad how demonized it is :(
