Marijuana or Alcohol?

[-SD-]

It most definitely does. But a lot of alcoholics (functional ones) sober-up overnight. While they may not be at their physical best, they can still show-up the next day and mentally perform at near 100%.

Daily stoners can't do that. I'm sure they think they are fine, but regular (i.e. almost daily or daily) pot use leaves you in a fog that can't be shaken with a single night's sleep.

I dont know rob, I got baked last night and feel fine today, and have been getting stuff done that if I was hungover I would have said "fuck this today"

You obviously know nothing about smoking or what youve experienced the minimal times you have smoked is totally off base and biased. There is no fog and when you wake up youre refreshed not hung over feeling like shit. After a night of drinking I do things i never do like eat shitty food and be unproductive.

When I smoke i feel the need to do something. Whether it be clean the crib, buy essentials, hit the gym or plan for the upcoming days.

Do you seriously believe what you just wrote

Being hungover for most people = your day is fucked. Most Human beings experience hangovers.

When I plan to go out, it basically counts as 2 days of not being productive (the night, and the following day).

I get baked at night, maybe I wake up a little groggy but some caffeine or a workout and I'm 100% of what i would be.

I love plunk, but he's the same guy who tried to justify recreational use of oxy/roxy's over smoking pot.

Yea the non-hangover advantage goes to pot 100%.

Months ago I pulled a number of peer-reviewed published articles from primary sources on the after-effects of pot, including its short-term effects on cognition and memory. Here's the cliff's notes summary:

1) There is undoubtedly a short-term (1-2 days) after-effect from pot, even after the acute phase of the drug wears off. This effect impacts both cognitive and memory skills.

2) This after-effect is definitely more pronounced in regular (i.e. daily) users. True intermittent users experience much less of the after-effect.

3) There is overwhelming positive evidence that the after-effect subsides long-term, even with regular use that can include multiple uses per day.

Now I don't mind re-pulling the studies when I return to Knoxville, but if the best our stoner crowd is going to retort with is some anecdotal story about how they much energy they get from wake-and-bake, then it's just a waste of time.
