What are the hidden dangers? The obvious dangers have been done to death, I think.
Each of the 3 has their own dangers and rewards. From a health point of view it really depends on your point of view! One could argue that anything you do, that doesn't hard anyone else, that you enjoy doing, is good. The flip side is that excessive drug use (any drug) can cause long term serious problems (and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what they're talking about).
Use drugs, don't use drugs, it's up to the individual to choose. But make the decision an informed one before getting into anything.
Drugs can, and do kill.

Originally posted by shrewI smoke tobacco (tried weed, but didn't find it worth the price) and I drink regularly. However, I've never experienced addiction. I imagine that would be bad, perhaps even worse than sobriety, which strikes me as a life with few pleasures. In my experience with smoking and drinking, quality is critical. Commercial cigarettes hold little interest for me, for example, but a good cigar (I don't mean Swisher Sweets) can bring pleasure. I imagine the quality of weed can make a difference, too (Toby Keith insists that Willie Nelson's weed is better than others). The same is true of alcohol. American domestic beers are swill, but Kentucky bourbons are well worth their price, even in my overtaxed state. Seagram's 7 might do with certain mixers, but Johnnie Walker is excellent straight.
No....I was thinking about addiction. Ive smoked and drank but there comes a point where its not fun anymore! We need to be more aware of the dangers.

Originally posted by darvlayI have fond memories of Crown Royal, for it represented the finest of sauces during my college days, but I tend to drink better stuff now. Have you tried Johnnie Blue?
Johnnie Black and Crown Royal are my drinks of choice, both straight up on the rocks and enjoyed with plenty of high grade Canadian tobacco. Mmm mmm.

Originally posted by WulebgrYes. At a higher-end restaurant in Thailand, you could purchase a 40 ounce bottle of Johnnie Blue for approx. $200 CDN, then take whatever you didn't finish home with you. I didn't buy a bottle but a man who did was generous enough to offer me a glass. I wish I could say I enjoyed it more than anything but, truth be told, I was in the bag already and didn't appreciate it as much as I would have liked to. Another time, I suppose!

I assume you've tried it?
