    Yeah, your body can only metabolize it at a certain rate, so your high will definately plateau..................Unless you mix it with other drugs. I'm sure I'm not the only one who figured out the hard way how lots of alcohol and pot together can be a very bad night......................Although the pot and shrooms turned into one of the best days of my life, lol

    I'll agree with this, too. I don't smoke but the few people close to me who do smoke usually wake and bake then toke up again in the evening. Passing the bong around all night long is for high school parties.

    Your hysterical over-reactions to anything having to do with people under 25 are quite entertaining to watch :D

    What they call binge drinking is just a normal nite for people in Milwaukee. LOL I also agree what somebody said that after 2 or 3 hits of really good pot. You can't get any higher. Yr just wasting it at that point. I never did pills when I was younger or really now. Glad I stayed away from that.

    i can't wait for the politician who voices his position on ''young-adult'' binge drinking.

    ''umm yes im against this, it is a growing problem....not in my back yard..thank you...vote for me you ignorant fucks, good day..oh by the way..sike..im not really a democrat..thank god you vote on dumb issues.''

    Your defensiveness in regards to your generation is hysterical.

    you didnt walk away, you made about 6 posts in this thread about it. and if you were the shining light of the next generation you'd know that "than" is a comparison, "then" is the temporal one. maybe you were too stoned that day in class?

    Pointing out flaws in people makes you look like a complete ass-head in my opinion..............and that is a much more notable characteristic flaw.

    There is something wrong with their statistics
    The proportion of students using marijuana daily has more than doubled to about 4 percent.

    4 percent? That's far too low. That should have been an indication that they need better controls. People are obviously lying about that.

    Yep I will agree that is low considering the odds of getting in 3some at my old university where 1 out of 4 for a male.....

    Uh, so who sat down and calculated those odds? And what university was this?

    The University of Saskatchewan...although me and three dudes lived together and that stat. did prove right for one of my buddies...so who knows....just stating that this could be BS...

    I was a college student and I know tonnes of others that went to college...if students were asked directly in a poll...I would bet that some lied to be "funny"...as for 4% for marijuana...I would say of all the people I hung around with at some point or time in college (which is a lot!)...I would say 80-85% smoked pot at some time.....
