None. I wouldn’t see any reason. ---

None. Even if drugs were legal, and proven to boost your immune system and stop hair loss, I wouldn’t. I’m too afraid of losing self-control to try any mind-altering substance. ---

Ganj tastes good. I’m in the same camp. Makes you wonder whether a great tasting/low effect product will be available WHEN it becomes legal. ---

> [@TheFaerie](#): > > Which is exactly how you know it’s not good weed. Good weed smells like flowers. Not sweet exactly, but kind of a woody, tobacco-y, jasmine/honeysuckle scent. Agreed. I’m not even a smoker, but good weed smells pretty good. I’d probably keep drinking beer. Not the NA beer that we currently have, but a nice hoppy\* IPA like Big Daddy would keep me quite happy, even if I didn’t get drunk. \*Oddly enough, hops are closely related to weed. ---

> [@Mannish](#): > > Cocaine, because snorting as a method of ingesting substances is undervalued. I wish Bayer came out with a snortable aspirin… I think you’re on to something, here. And why stop at pharmaceuticals? Just think! We could be sitting a _huge_ untapped market for Flintstone’s Snortable Vitamins™!
