Woops completely forgot about this thread.
I've been smoking marijuana medically (arthritis), recreationally and regularly (3-4 times a week) for the past year. Bought myself quite the kit, I've gone through 2 ounces total, and am currently on my third ounce. So far joints are my personal favorite just because of their versatility, next to that being a portable vaporizer (way healthier too). I've been using a bong, bubbler, pipe (Also have a "gandalf" style pipe) and hookah soon.
If used responsibly in the same sense as alcohol, weed can be a really fun, relaxing and enjoyable drug. In my personal opinion, using both drugs to a heavier standard I can admit that weed is safer than alcohol. When drunk, things are difficult to get a grasp on, driving (must be) impossible and dangerous, and it's effects on your organs can be hit and miss.
With weed everything is far more focused. I don't have a license and I don't drive, but I've heard from many a friend that driving high is no problem (though I DO NOT encourage it. be safe, idiots). Personally I find it helps kill nausea and stomach pain, as well as muscle pains and bone pains. As for the psychoactive effect it's pretty awesome. The best way to describe it is that everything is just "fine". It's all good. There's no problems, all the things you'd normally worry about are just not all that big of a deal.
You can also be incredibly productive when high.
Hell, I just wrote this paragraph at a 9. Sunday night bowl, yo!
Cheers.
