Sorry for your loss BF. Your take on alcohol and pot is a healthy educated approach. I also don't have any desire to smoke pot, but I know people that do and being around them is so pleasant when compared to being around someone that has been drinking. It is like pot makes people calm and polite yet FOR SOME, alcohol turns them into irritating fools.
