Seeing as it's just as illegal to be drunk as it is to be high, I'd like to see that.

Public intoxication.

My point was with the bolded part. It made me laugh.

No I said you discredited yourself.

Yes, actually, you CAN get buzzed on marijuana. You want to know how? By smoking a small amount, just like how you can get buzzed on alcohol by drinking a small amount. Simple as that.

Edit: Maybe someone could clear this up for me. Are we bein lied tah or wat?

Going by textbook definitions here, as that's what the forum always does until semantics gets called in to play;

High = euphoria. Buzz = slight intoxication. I have yet to see or hear anyone get slightly intoxicated on marijuana. You either have the euphoric feeling or you do not.


Now, throw semantics and slang into the picture, then yes, marijuana can "buzz you" just as well as alcohol can get you "high", but again, slang =/= what I was speaking of.





But, even if you disagree with the wording in that one sentence, that doesn't discredit or change a single thing in the rest of the post.

And again, Choop, point out said discrediting phrases. If you're going to cite them, might as well prove it.

Sorry, I just thought it would be common sense that marijuana doesn't work like a lightswitch. It's not like you're sober, or you're high as a kite making 5 layer sandwiches. You can very well be "buzzed" by simply ingesting less, like every substance. As someone else said, think of alcohol. You want less of an effect, you ingest less. Same goes for marijuana. And you also said that 1 can of beer does nothing, 1 joint makes you high. Yes, for some people. For some people they can smoke a joint and be buzzed, just like some super lightweight drinkers, or those that react negatively to alcohol will feel a buzz MUCH faster than those with a higher tolerance for alcohol.

Sorry for not having a link to copy and paste here, this is just going from all of the smokers I've known, talked to, hung out with, times I partook, etc.
