1. That's good news. We should now start toking whenever we get faced.

3. I think if you smoke before you drink, you're less likely to drink too much

and if you smoke after drinking too much, you're more likely to reject the alcohol and get sick.. which I think is a medicinal benefit of pot.

6. very true on both accounts

from my experience.

8. Anytime I ever mixed the two I passed out almost immediately

Its been years since I last drank alcohol and even longer since I smoked any weed, but I recall with great clarity the effect of mixing the two, an immediate unconscious state.

11. exactly. Never smoke after getting shit faced on alcohol

Do it before or along with it, but after, you're just looking to get sick.

5. From the study:

"Tract based spatial analysis identified shared fiber structure across individuals and facilitated voxelwise comparisons of fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) between groups."

...I know, it doesn't add anything to the discussion. I just like the way them brainiacs talk and stuff. :D

7. Duh

Smoke a lot dope and then try drink a lot, you barf in no time.

Mellow pot and few slow beers, on the other hand...

9. If it's positive news about pot, it must be true and not questioned.

But if it's critical of pot, it's clearly wrong.

10. That about covers it. And that is a problem w/ you???

Pot IS good. I think the whole world should go green.
