The difference being, with one you get a light, pleasant, happy, drunk adjacent feeling. With the other, you're sitting on the ground staring into the infinite void of nothingness, head lolled to one side, while your friends dab the back of your neck with a cool towel, hoping you don't puke and asphyxiate on it.
Yeah the whole thing is dumb. Let me eat as many mushrooms as I can without tripping balls so I can kinda work and think I'm a genius. That was hard enough to balance with weed in the office. Real drugs?? Are you fucking kidding me?? Worst case, nothing happens. "Best case," I lose my career??? No thanks man. Maybe I'll use them to clear my head on a Friday alone and use the sober new perspective on Monday. During work with no upside??? Nobody has to drive during the day??? End old man rant
I didn't drive regularly when I was younger and fucked around. But both then and sober old man now, I couldn't fathom driving within 48 hours of any drugs. Even day after drinking, it's not safe.. if you're drinking until last call, tomorrow isn't tomorrow
