Most of the answers to this question weren't out of hand at all, actually.
I'm fine with disagreement on any topic, but we all know what can happen to a nice, helpful, informational website when people start calling other people "stupid" when it's fairly obvious that the question wasn't asked to provoke anyone. One day you have something useful, the next day you have nothing but a flamefest.

CATSAMU............WHILE I DON'T THINK THIS EVEN NEEDS A REPLY............WHY DON'T YOU READ THE STATS AND WHAT EPI HELP WROTE. DON'T ASSUME YOU KNOW EVERYTHING............AND DON'T ASSUME I AM JUDGMENTAL, DISRESPECTFUL, OR NOT HELPFUL. THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS WHICH MAKES IT MORE THAN A STUPID QUESTION..............GET HIGH AT YOUR OWN RISK, BUT DO IT SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY FROM ANYONE SO NO ONE GETS HURT BECAUSE PEOPLE DO CHOOSE TO DO MANY ILLEGAL THINGS IN ORDER TO GET HIGH. DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT HAVING E IS DIFFICULT ENOUGH WITHOUT ADDING AN ILLEGAL DRUG TO ENHANCE YOUR CONSCIOUS STATE? DID YOU EVER CONSIDER THAT I MAY KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN I CARE TO TALK ABOUT? READ WHAT I WROTE AGAIN. I KNOW WHAT DRUGS DO TO PEOPLE. MARIJUANA IS AN ILLEGAL DRUG. DID YOU EVER EVEN PUT ANY THOUGHT INTO YOUR SAYING I AM JUDGMENTAL AND DISRESPECTFUL IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE BEING. THIS PERSON WAS NOT BEING TREATED BY A MEDICAL DOCTOR WITH A PRESCRIPTION FOR POT.........DO YOU WANT TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS POSSIBLY TAKING HIS LIFE AND PUTTING HIMSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK WITH A POTENTIALLY DEADLY COMBINATION OF MEDICATION AND STREET DRUGS THAT NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT IS IN THAT POT HE IS SMOKING? I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT BECAUSE IT REALLY DOES SOUND LIKE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT TO GET ANGRY ABOUT A QUESTION LIKE THAT AS YOU DO TO BE AN ADVOCATE, BUT WHO IN THE LONG RUN IS LOOKING OUT FOR THAT PERSON'S SAFETY AND WHO IS ENCOURAGING THIS PERSON TO GO AHEAD AND NOT ONLY DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL AND ALL BUT SAYING IT IS JUST FINE? THINK ABOUT IT. I DON'T INTEND TO REPLY TO YOU AND YOUR LACK OF COMMON SENSE AGAIN.
