Nah, you just had cheap bourbon

Never had the hangover nastiness, but then again the group I drink with (NEVER alone), all of us go for the better quality over low price. The one time I got sick was because the Russians were very persuasive (a "shot" is really, "exhale, down one shot, grab another, down that, wait about five seconds, then stick some fruit in your mouth") about "just one more drink", and I drank far too much. A liter of Grey Goose, plus some gin before hand, between three people. And the few times I have had the cheap stuff, it was bad enough that I didn't drink much unless it was VERY mixed.

But really, in the US it's better to lay off all that, at least until you're almost at 21. Until then, it's a lot harder to get anything worth drinking (read: will not make you sick, and is actually enjoyable). Plus most of the people you would be drinking with will do insanely stupid and dangerous things. As the age goes up, there is (usually) a bit more responsibility, and a few people willing to stay (relatively) sober to keep things under control. Ask the Vikings for more details about a safe, enjoyable drinking experience, should the occasion arise in the future

Hmm... Like someone else up there, nope. Never tried anything, never will. Don't need to, and I'm just not dumb enouph to get addicted to stuff like that.

Nah Will actually I've had more then just bourbon it's just the bourbon made me drunk the other stuff didn' (because I didn't down a coffee mug full heh) but all alcohol tastes terrible to me so far I mean I've had a bunch of different types and it's all nasty on my taste buds.

Personally, not that I smoke it, but I do believe that "pot" should be legal to buy, but restricted as alcohol is. It should be ok to grow in your own home, so long as you do not sell it without a license or permit.

It was legal for a very long time and even though I know many people think it is bad, it really is not. If anything it will improve the economy because everyone who uses it will eventually get the munchies and head for nearest burger joint or 7-11.

I will say though, that POT does effect people That commerical where the guy is down in a basement smoking pot with a friend and he says that POT has never effected him. Then you hear his mom yell at him to take out the trash. I know first hand that that is true. I can point to at least eight people I know that smoke on a regular bases who would qualify as 30 something pot retards.

Pot does make you stupid, lazy, and fat. But hey, if you want to enjoy it, by all means, I say make it legal and let people make the choice for themselfs if they want to use it or not.

Additionally, at a bare minimum, it does need to be legalized for medical use. PERIOD. No except to this.

Right now they do not want it legal for medical use because the drug companies would loose money. We all know this, and if there is one thing I hate more than I hate insurance companies, its dirty politics when it comes to helping people live a better life who would otherwise not.

Coffee smells like sewar water to me. We have an open sewar on this street. I've smelled both, and there's little difference.

Just thought I'd throw that in there.

As for the rest, nope to them too.

Canada has legalized it for medicinal use for several years now. Only it's not easy to become "registered" to use for medical purposes. And, that said, it may be legal to posses and use for medical purposes, it still isn't legal to purchase it. Go figure.

Humm, coffee has always smelled good to me. In the great old days, they blessed it so they could drink it because many people felt that it tasted so bad the only the devil would drink it. Funny how that turned out huh.
