Perhaps a tired out, old GB RV.

I hope you didn't take that seriously.

I'll invite you to be a demonstrator when I give my grandkids their first
lesson on why not to smoke pot.

True, I'd have to agree with that. Why, are you a pothead, too?

Bill probably thinks pot is a gateway drug, orders of magnitude more
dangerous than booze.

Why do you suppose that? Loogy, the former Atl_man, the former
on_lanier, and the former basskisser seems to think stating that he is
growing pot on a pot newsgroup means he was spouting lies then. Or
lies
now. As to the pot, my opinion is legalize and tax most drugs. If
you
steal to support your habit, you get an extension to your sentence.
If
you can afford the drugs and not be a burden on society, it's freedom
of
choice. I graduated from San Francisco State University, so knew lots
of people who used pot. I do not use any drugs, as I get sick with
most
prescription painkillers, and I do not smoke. Earn a lot of money
from
smoking as Altria has done very well for me. Better than RTN and your
other choices.

You do seem to attach a certain stigma or evil to pot, though, which is
silly, since it's really no worse for the body than booze, assuming
both
are abused to a certain level. And, it's pretty rare that people steal
to
get money for pot.

I sort of dropped out of this discussion, which I initiated. How did it
devolve into an argument about pot?

I steered it off a cliff after billy bob said "Better than a pothead".
Since
I love words, I see "pothead" and wonder why people never say "bourbon
head"
or "vodka head". It's always more than just a term learned by habit. It's
a
belief based on who-knows-what.

Would 'booze hound' be the equivalent? Or just, 'a drunk'?

Maybe, but people like Bill use "pothead" to describe anyone who uses pot.
"Booze hound" or "drunk" are more commonly used to describe someone whose
use of alcohol has reached the point of habitual abuse. There are people who
partake of marijuana at levels similar to someone who has a glass of wine
once or twice a week. Nobody would call those people drunks, although they
might GET a little drunk from that glass of wine under certain conditions.

Oh. I didn't realize Bill was expanding the term 'pothead' to include
anyone who tries the stuff. I would put 'pothead' in the same category as
'alcoholic'.

Oh, it gets even better. Bill has been proven to call someone a
"pothead" without ANY evidence of such. Hell, he doesn't even have to
have heresay to call someone a pothead!

loogy, you keep throwing around the '90%' line based on here say. What's
the difference?

I don't think so. I think it was the real Reggie surfacing there, the
same a**hole who probably came home once a week from junior high with a
bloody nose.
