Re: would u ? ..
Sorry but I disagree. Alcohol is worse than pot in every way, including being addictive. The only reason pot is considered a gateway drug (although I doubt that’s as true today as it was in the past) is because the laws have pushed it into the fringe of society. Those on the fringe are likely to try anything, including alcohol if it was illegal. Keep in mind that the US government tried to ban it, but the goras love their alcohol.
The prejudice against pot is strictly racial, not to mention political. Pot (more specifically hemp) actually affects many industries and lobbyists push hard for pot restrictions.
As far the effects it has, if you’ve ever met someone who’s smoked a bit of pot, you’ll see that they’re just more relaxed and happy. Whereas alcohol has varying effects, ranging from relaxed to belligerent.
