I have never smoked pot. I have enough trouble battling my addiction to nicotine. Alas, I do inhale. Cannabis is definitely a drug. Personally, I have nothing against it and don't look down on those that have a favorable view and occasionally partake. Moderate consumption of alcohol too, but as with a lot of other drugs can lead to addiction. I gave up drinking years ago as I have seen the destruction that it can cause in one's life and effecting others as well.
