[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630751, member: 1550"] Lil, that is the problem with both alcohol and pot. Many people can have a few drinks a week and be fine with it. Then there are those who can't stop once they start and who ruin their lives through alcoholism. No secret how many people die from alcohol related issues. We don't know as much about pot yet. I think it is fine for many people, if not most, to indulge once or twice a week. To me, every day is a bit much for ANYTHING. For some, they seem to need it every day and it does kill of ambition. I met a guy once, when I was in between my two husbands (lol!) and he told me he had been addicted to pot, something I was skeptical about. He told me that, when he had his baby, he quit and it was the hardest thing he ever did and he had to see a therapist for it. His salary leaped from $6,000 year as he did nothing except work at various carnivals to over six times that amount in two years since he got a regular job. Then there was me. I have some mental illness and pot made me so paranoid and frightened and scared that I finally stopped trying to use it like others do. I know it can kick off some latent mental illnesses, like bipolar, derealization/depersonalization (a really scary feeling and illness) and schizophrenia. Does it do that to everyone? No. But that's the devil in all chemicals that make most of us feel good. There are some unsuspecting people who can not use them and there is pressure to use them anyway. I hope you are having a good night and wish the both of you lots of luck. [/QUOTE]
