Be that as it may, I know quite a few people who can't seem to enjoy themselves if they aren't high.
But ya, you're right that the concept is pretty idiotic, I'll give you that. I guess that's sort of an easy, antagonistic way to justify not smoking it.
And while I do drink, its hardly more than a drink or two. I don't see the point in getting drunk, and see more negative sides to it than good sides. There is also a difference between drinking one beer and taking drugs. 1, 2, 3 beers is not going to affect you, unless you have extremely low tolerance.
Of course, I'm not really educated on the subject, I honestly just stay away from it. (By that, I don't mean stay away from those who do it, some friends smoke and I don't care. I just don't have any intentions to do it.)
