Just saw your post from way back when, but I was not saying it's okay to operate a fighter jet or anything else while high.
Bit of an old thread but I'm convinced alcohol has destroyed more lifes and families than weed (and killed way more people on the roads than weed).
I'm one of the incredibly rare musicians who has never smoked pot or used any other drugs, legal or illegal. Really never been drunk either, and I don't feel like I'm missing anything.
Tried it 4-5 times. Did not like it, prefer a bunch of beers and a cigarette! Tried Hashish too. Hell of a headach the next day. This was about 30 years ago.
I used to smoke it occasionally in High a school (no pun intended). It was an escape for me from all the s**t going on at home. Haven't touched the stuff in nearly 30 years. No desire to go back. Too many health unknowns. I still remember all the tar that was left in the pipes we used. Can't imagine putting that crap into my lungs again. Nasty!
