Hey, I agree with everything you have said and I understand your confusion concerning alcohol and weed. My recommendation!!! Smoke away and don't worry about it. You have choices. If it is illeagal where you are I can only say stay within the law and if you are in a medical state then get a card. getting caught the way the laws are is just not worth the trouble you can get in. THAT is why the federal Government need to legalize our precious medication so we can just start calling it pot again!!!!!
