I sure did, ace. You might look up who also uses the Old Testament. 

Sorry. Trying to make sense of this statement.

People love to make jokes and sometimes we make snide remarks, etc, but I actually think you are correct...in 20 years we may finally admit how bad it was, particularly for people younger than 25 years old (brain deveopment).   I appreciate your comment and the probable courage it took to make it, knowing that so many of us will probably pooh pooh it.  

It's a hot button topic.  I remember when MADD first formed and how much bad and derisive criticism those mothers received from the rest of us...we could drive in those days with open containers in our cars!!  And we did!!  We smoked in grocery stores and traffic courts and teachers' break rooms and offices and hospitals(!!)...you get the picture...it was crazy where we all smoked...and this was up into the early 90's!

I'll be curious to see what happens in the future...

The founder of MADD ended up being a lobbyist for the liquor industry. Smoke that!

Let me guess….you drink alcohol like a fish, yet if an individual smokes marijuana it’s the worst thing in the world? I have 27 years in the medical field and I can tell you that alcohol is much more dangerous to the body than marijuana, it just so happens that the lobbyist got alcohol legalized. 

Only short-term. Marijuana has longer-lasting effects on the brain that alcohol doesn't have because it is metabolized so quickly. The narcotic chemicals in marijuana are fat-soluble, so they remain in your system and brain for a long time. Also, if someone drinks alcohol, then they are the only one affected. If you smoke or vape marijuana, then the people nearby are affected. It's highly intrusive, just like cigarette smoking, which I didn't think they allowed in the stands.

I have no problem with marijuana if you are eating it. Just don't smoke it in the stands and blow it my way.

Cirrhosis says hi. Long term overuse causes problems.

It's actually a pretty nuanced and interesting story re the power struggle at MADD that got her tossed out.  She always claimed she wasn't against alcohol, but rather against drunk driving, that MADD was becoming neoprohibitionist. 

Thanks for reminding me of that history...

A weed thread on OTF was not on my bingo card for today 😁

It's been a blast, I know Bobby somewhere reading this with a beet red face dying laughing. Whatever was ailing him, I'm sure he laughed it all out.

I strongly disagree with the idea that Jesus drink alcohol. The Greek word for “wine” in Luke 7:33 & John 2:9 for instance (both connected to Jesus) does not specifically  indicate alcoholic wine, but rather a product of grapes. Likewise, it is in insistent with other Scripture which warn of it and forbid in an alcoholic form.

Anyone who says that alcohol use affects only the user is out of touch with reality.
