Btw, setting a few things straight.
Smoking weed will cause memory loss, lowering your heart rate, red eyes and not much else. The only really big "inconvenient" is the memory loss, because every other thing is quite trivial and non-important.
Smoking weed will also cause loss of inibitions, a feeling of well being, a sense of euphoria, and a huge craving for rading the fridge!
Smoking pot is actually very good for shy and timid people, because they will have a better time making friends and socializing. It is also a very good treatment for cronic and accute pain, resulting in relief in even the worst cases when even massive doses of morphine are not effective anymore.
And despite what most people think, smoking weed will not cause any significant slowdown in reflexes while driving.In some situations, weed can actually increase your reflexes, and cause an accute and sharp state of mind, improving your concentration.
But i agree that smoking while driving should be heavilly penalised, just as alcohol and medication. Drunk drivers are the plague of the XXth century.
Another thing:
You cannot compare the effects of alcohol with smoking weed, because they have diferent efects on the human body and they afect diferent parts of the brain. Alcohol has a huge impact on the bodyīs balance system, while as weed does not. Alcohol also afects your vision, while weed does not.
And the continous use of one or the other will have diferent efects. If you keep drinking shot after shot, you will get drunker. But weed will not. After you reach a certain point, no matter how much more you smoke you wonīt go past it. Itīs virtually impossible to get an overdose of weed. But itīs very easy to slip into an alcoholic coma.
Just thought you should know.
