Well, most people I know who still smoke weed regularly are fucked up in their heads. Some are not, but I'm talking statistics.

It's true that from my experience alcohol addicts are usually much worse though. If weed is a drug then Alcohol should be considered to be one too. I think that it's just too popular to be categorized as such, and it's the main reason.

And caffeine. And oxygen.

I don't know about Polacks, but alcohol is considered a drug in the US.

Stimulants are subclass of drugs. Fucking polish people.
Here it's a different thing, the difference comes from translation. Most of all we have totally different words for drugs as of medical substances, different one for drugs as narcotics and a different one for stimulants and there's no word such as "drug" which would cover them all.

There've been debates about alcohol not being a drug(narcotic drug), while marijuana is one - that's my point.

^You are getting held up on the negative connotation of the word drug. Alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine are all drugs from a medical standpoint. The difference is when it comes to regulation.

Yeah like I said, it comes from a different perspective based on the differences between our languages. The closest thing to what I mean (but not exactly the same) would be the word 'narcotic'. Here it would literally mean addictive substances that fuck with your brain - things like marijuana, cocaine, heroine and such are amongst them, alcohol is not.
I assumed that it works in a similar way in America, I googled, found out I was wrong, I understand now. However alcohol is still legal in America, marijuana is not. Even if definitions are different, regulations are similar.

I think Sebastian has some pretty strong willpower and morals to have never touched a single drug. I don't know many people who I can say that about. That doesn't mean he should call anyone a moron for having done so either tho lol.
Sam Harris: I’ve never met a person who smokes marijuana every day who I thought wouldn’t benefit from smoking less (and I’ve never met someone who has never tried it who I thought wouldn’t benefit from smoking more).

Read about his drug experiences in his latest blog:

I think this will take him down a few notches in Seb's eyes and put him up a few in Sofi's.

Alcohol is the 5th most dangerous drug, after Heroin, Cocaine, Barbiturates and Meth. To not consider it a drug is ridiculous. Alchohol does faaaaaaaaaaaaar more damage to your brain and entire body than Cannabis could ever do, which by the way, didn't make it to the top 10, ranks 11th.

I explained what I meant. I also said that I see alcohol doing more damage than weed and pointed out that if weed is illegal then alcohol should be too, if the system was to be fair.
