GETTING HIGH
Why do people smoke pot recreationally? Well, let me tell you from
experience: Because when we smoke pot we get high from that one joint. The
high is softer than the high from alcohol. No matter how many joints I
smoke, after the first joint it will not make me any higher than the first
joint did. The high does not double its effect.
Alcohol will make you higher with every beer you drink. If you keep
drinking faster, sooner or later you will pass out. But with pot you remain
at the same high joint after joint.
The only differences is each plant strain has different potency -- but even
the most potent pot plant will only get you as high as a six-pack of beer.
That's why it's safer than alcohol. And that's why we need to legalize and
regulate and tax it.
