I drink about 18 units per week.  Which is slightly over what the NHS
in the UK considers safe (14). But if I lived in Spain I could drink 35 units
a week and be considered safe.

Seems like doctors in different countries live in different realities If
people listened to everything some random quack wrote in the internet
we would be eating nothing but green vegetables and drinking water.

I've done most drugs short of putting a needle in my arm and some of
the new ones out today.  If you're an adult, 19, you should be able to
choose. Portugal decriminalized ALL recreational drugs and apparently
that was the right move for them,

I dont think anyone here is arguing for prohibition. I think what people are questioning is the assumpption that alcohol or marijuana consumption are positives or that their use should be trivialized. 

"Dude, how are you not smoking weed back in USA? Thats totally what I'd be doing. What's wrong with you???" is the attitude of a child.

Yep. That makes sense.

Same joke, but shorter comment would fit that better.
Too bad that whoever took that picture used a potato, else I'd make like CSI and "Enhance"

Respect to your google-fu!   

Marijuana: less damaging than alcohol. And more health benefits than alcohol. What health benefits? Fat loss, whereas alcohol causes fat gain. Insulin regulation, lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure, may reduce the risk of some cancers...

With education, people can change.

Might be an improvement. You might come back more humble, kind, understanding, open minded than your current rude, condescending, aggressive, insulting, know-it-all arrogant self.

I doubt you really have any weed though.

But if you ever do it could ‘Joe Rogan’ you.

Same with psychedelics.

My apoligies dude but typing has become an issre.

Haha, true pot smokers say "dude".

Don't tell Koreans this. Marijuana = heroin, cocaine, meth... [in this country] I don't
even bother trying to explain the scene in North America to Koreans anymore. It
just doesn't sink in.

Ironically about 2 generations ago it was common, cannibus, and enjoyed openly.

For the purposes of that experiment I must confess that it was somewhat corrupted by the consumption of alcohol.
To be precise, the actual dosage was a six pack of 375ml cans of standard strength beer, ie. 4.6% alcohol.
This was combined with approximately half of 1 gram of outdoor cannabis (THC content unknown).
I think the result of the experiment speak for themselves as exemplified by my two previous posts.
