> said that pot is the only drug that prevents him from doing any good work.
And this is where i suspect the big anti-pot push is coming from.
With alcohol you can go out for some beers after work, get buzzed, get up the next day with a nagging ache, and still come back to work.
With pot it is more likely that you go "fuck work!".
End result, pot is not good for business.
Looking across history, there is a whole mess or barely concealed agenda aimed at maintaining a workforce. Even the modern school system is perhaps put into place to produce and maintain a more useful workforce.
This isn't true for me. I'm more likely to get a good night sleep and wake up well-rested, without a headache ready to go to work after a night of smoking. I'm more likely to call off work if I am feeling sick from drinking the night before: In fact, I'm more likely to simply not go out after work to drink. I can smoke some and do my household stuff in the evening, walk to a coffee shop afterwards and talk with folks, draw, read, etc, most of which is impossible when drinking. I'm gonna guess absenteeism is higher among chronic alcohol users than it is among chronic pot users, but I don't have the citation to back it up.
For me it is quite the opposite, I prefer to stay at home if I have nagging headache after having to much, on the other hand I never had such an issue with pot.
