that's good to hear. on a related note, drinking moonshine can make you go blind, but real men still do it.

They used to give it to British soldiers in NI.. Potcheen I mean. presumably deliberately mixed with methanol. Sad old days:)

I disagree. One joint is better and much more fun than 5 f@gs.

They are worth the money.
It's like a different high. You use less gear and it lasts longer.
Indulge and buy one [when you're living where you can use it].

That's generally how medical marijuana patients take their meds.

Some study came out a couple of years ago that there is not provable link between marijuana and lung cancer. It argued that smoking marijuana, unlike smoking tobacco, kills aging lung cells before they become cancerous.

They used to say it was equal to smoking 20 cigarettes. Rolling Eyes

Fact is, cigarette smokers usually smoke a ton of cigarettes every single day. Weed smokers, generally speaking, might smoke a joint or two a day, and often much less than that. So there really is no point in comparing.

Nothing to worry about here as you won't be smoking cannabis joints if you go to Korea...
