I seldom drink anymore, but I sure as hell used to. Let me try to explain it in the simplest way: when I drink a beer, my intent is not to get drunk. I MIGHT drink 8 more beers, maybe not. But one beer will not affect me in any way. When I smoke a joint or bowl, my INTENT is to GET FUCKIN HIGH. Being high will not make your life better. You will procrastinate, be 'too stoned' to do many things like answer the phone or a knock on the door (oh shit, it might be the neighbor or the landlord!), clean the kitchen, drive a car (dude, I'm too fukin stoned to drive) etc etc etc. I used to live that shitty 'life', you can't tell me shit about it, child. Potheads are a pathetic disgrace, and I am planning my exit from these current digs. THAT BEING SAID...chronic drunks are def worse. But both are disgraceful and niggerish.
