I've smoked pot and hash since I was in my late teens, the only thing negative is that its made me have the munchies and therefore gain weight, my memory is fine, I am able to do a full days work the day after smoking up the night before, it doesn't make me sick like alcohol does. I don't drink alcohol at all, I don't like the way I become or feel after drinking and discovered early on that it just wasn't for me.

Pot mellows me out, relaxes me and I only smoke it in the evening when all my work is done, because after I've puffed the only thing I want to do is have sex.
