From google: Its formula can be also written as CH3−CH2−OH or C2H5OH (an ethyl group linked to a hydroxyl group), and is often abbreviated as EtOH. Thank you for that. That is very cool, I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking occasionally is not that bad, just like drinking occasionally isn't that bad and IMO weed is less harsh on the body than alcohol. You always know who has a drinking problem at work but I bet you work with smokers and have no idea... Do you have any scientific, fact based proof that says that smoking “occasionally“ isn’t that bad? Just from a logical perspective I don’t think it would ever be good to occasionally put smoke directly into your lungs but I’m open to evidence that proves otherwise.

We engage in illogical behavior all the time. But to me that is so detrimental, intentionally putting smoke directly into your lungs, for a temporary buzz… I just don’t get it. But you’re right, we are illogical beings. Self-destructive and illogical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It changes the way you perceive and process the world around you. I’m specifically talking about intentionally putting smoke directly into your lungs. Most of us, except for one or two posters agree that that is never a good thing, correct? So if people smoke to relieve stress, one of the side effects of intentionally putting smoke directly into your lungs ultimately leads to even more stress, more than what you had to begin with? That’s my point. Sorry for being not clear, my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlade Divac was a chain smoker, chain cigarette smoker, not chain marijuana smoker, and he had a 15 year career. So because Vlade Divac smoked cigarettes that means that smoking cigarettes occasionally, or in his case, incessantly, is not bad for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us, except for one or two posters agree that that is never a good thing, correct? Do you avoid campfires? Also - marijuana smoke isn't as bad as tobacco smoke. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/ If you eat cooked steaks, you are at a higher risk of contracting certain types of cancer. Charred meats contain chemicals (HCAs and PAHs) that are carcinogenic. But maillard reactions in meat also make it taste really flavorful. At the end of the day - lots of things have a certain amount of risk and reward and it's up to you to exercise the freedom of choice to do what you want.

Smoking any amount of any substance has no benefit and might cause residual harm to the lungs. Not sure why that’s so hard to say. THC can be ingested via eatables. It doesn’t need to be smoked. I’m not a fan of marijuana but I’m glad it was decriminalized in states with half a brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one decent year when being carried by a pro bowl caliber LB'er. The next year he was complete garbage, by far our weakest link on defense. He could not even win a starting roll on a bad G5 defense. He is small and slow. Congrats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
