    You should be fine then....my understanding is that the liver can process a glass of wine in an hour and a half....two glasses in three hours...etc...the other thing is alcohol tends to enable other unhealthy things like salt intake or tobacco use, etc....I highly recommend sobriety when it comes to general health and I love alcohol ….I've just finished that chapter of my life

    I was an alcoholic for a chapter of my life... I really felt like I couldn't live sober, when I was sober I hated every minute of my life, but I'm never going back down that road again.

    Thanks. I guess the point was I could easily stop and the taxes wouldn't have any effect on me.

    It looks like I and possibly others may have jumped to conclusions here:

    Which isn't quite as grandpa-ish after all.

    Alcohol and tobacco kill more Americans than any other drugs.

    Now that the government is controlling marijuana I expect they will find a way to make it kill Americans also.

    And yet the government gleefully collects over $20,000,000,000 in tax revenue each year from those users.

    I have about 1% of my kidney function and the medical experts that I've been dealing with tell me not to take Ibuprofen. Of course, I've also get a heart condition that requires me to take a blood thinner. I've been taking the blood thinner for about two decades so I can't take either aspirin or ibuprofen for reasons of them affecting the thinness of my blood.

    I take marijuana gummies all the time. Have a 6 diget job, taking low doses can actually help you mentally. Much less toxic than alcohol. Less toxic than almost all the medications out there. It has not increased my interest in anything else in the slightest

    Better but it's still not good enough, States decision is always cop out. Without federal regulation there will continue to be issues like the vitamin e acitate in vape juice. Weed is not very harmful until it meets capitalism.

    Ah, who can resist the Marijuana munchies? Answer - It's been proven in the laboratory that everyone who smokes weed gets the munchies. I believe I recall reading that in a scientific publication. Wait, it's coming back, The Mary Jane Digest.
    The only conundrum is when you smoke weed you get both the uncontrollable munchies and the intense desire to rest wherever you are. Hence, what do you do? The solution I've oh so cleverly come up with is to set yourself a stash of junk crap very very near your elbow before you light up. Also, make sure the TV remote is just as nearby or you can put on an endless recording of your favorite music and look out the window at the world passing by.Some people do both but I find it tiresome adjusting my eye focus first close by and then far away, repeat . . .
