Neither. Never used drugs and I don't get drunk (high alcohol tolerance).

Yes, my life is boring.

Yep. Boring or not, if you can't get high on life's simple pleasures, you're doing it wrong.

Relax? A hot bath while listening to smooth jazz. To maximize the potential of your soak, you don't need a couple shots of tequila, a vicodin, & a joint, at most to make it feel even better either. Totally NOT necessary. Try lemongrsss spearmint bathsalts instead.

Sex. You don't NEED cocaine, viagra, ecstacy, or even a fat black hooker to get off. Stick with sober missionary, with the same girl every night.

& try waking up with dry toast & black coffee. You'll feel light & energized through til lunch, instead of getting high & crashing before noon?

You also don't need a bunch of pills to come down at night. Sleepytime green tea & melatonin will do the trick just as well.

Drugs are for losers with no imagination. Get off onlife's simple pleasures instead.

:awe:

I've only gotten high off of salvia. So yeah, I'd rather get drunk. I've never had a "bad" trip, but it's something that couldn't do every weekend for sure.

Weed from 14-29. Was great, rarely drank. Drink now, no paranoia but not the same. Weed motivates me, booze does for a bit then crash. I could wake up at 4 am smoke bud and get stuff done. Can say alchol is worse. Way more $$, less productive, and I never embarrassed myself high. Drunk Im a ladies man but at some point a total ass. Weed Im just chill except for the occasional paranoia.

I am the same way, I will smoke with some stoners sometimes, but I actually prefer to smoke by myself or with one of my two good nonstoner pot smoking friends.

I like chilling with casual smokers. I don't smoke at all anymore and don't want to. It's just not enjoyable at all.

I prefer drinking. I drink way too much. :biggrin:

Alcohol always leads to better stories (if you remember). Weed will just put you in an enjoyable daze where you get shit done or freakout, depending.

^My weed experiences were much more complex than just an "enjoyable daze".

Getting drunk and throwing up is way worst than getting high and laughing uncontrollably.

I'd much rather be high, if I drink enough to be decently buzzed I always seem to get a hangover without fail. Problem is since 1990 or so every employer I've worked for does random drug tests and THC can take up to 30-45 days to completely leave your system (depends on how fat you are and your metabolism) and now I'm looking for a job so smoking is out of the question,some places have moved to the hair test which goes back 45 days...

I don't like getting drunk very much, I like to be able to stand up straight. Marijuana on the other hand, I like it a lot, especially when I smoke with my girlfriend and we have sex. High sex > drunk sex

Getting high and getting drunk are fundamentally different states of mind. I done both and sometimes at times of leisure, I do both together.

Being drunk = the feeling of detachment from your surroundings and sometimes yourself

Being High = the feeling of your inner thought mental process getting altered

Being both aka me = messed up. :awe:

Alcohol is cool if you have a few. Loosens you up, etc etc. However, having too much is not so good. For weed though, if you have too much, you basically just pass out...Wake up and you feel fine. Too much booze and you might barf, piss yourself, then wake up feeling like a train hit you.

If I could only do one and not the other, I'd probably pick weed.

Where is the neither option?

Let me clarify, I don't do drugs, and when i drink I don't like getting into a drunken stupor.

Of the two, I prefer to drink. Pot just makes me sleepy. Currently I do neither.

Drug free since '03. Alcohol free just over a year now. Smoke free 3 years.

Both plus coke and sometimes some x or lsd. Pills are good, too.

Prefer dope over booze only because no hangover.

I've never smoked anything, I've never used an illegal substance in my life, and I have a built in "get sick before you get drunk" safety feature that prevents me from drinking too much.

Yet I still manage to have an awesome time. Go figure.

I hate alcohol. Make me feel like shit and dizzy. If I get a buzz it lasts about 20-30 min with headache and shitty feeling to follow.

Hard liquor....forget it, I would rather be sick.

I don't get why people drink, but whatever floats their boat.

Weed on the other hand, I do like to wip out my vape every now and then on a Sat or Sun night. But I don't/refuse to smoke it. It relaxes me and makes me feel great BUT it has to be quality (no garbage).

So every Saturday or Sunday you whip out your Vaporizer and then not smoke it? :hmm:

Correct

I vaporize it, BIG difference and also gives you a much cleaner/less head heavy feeling......without all the chemicals caused by combustion.

Vaporizing = heating it up enough to extract THC without igniting/flame.

And it doesn't require as much weed either.....

There is SO many benefits to Vaporizing I'm not even sure why people smoke it all together.

Gotcha. I read that as you just sat there and stared at your vaporizer.
