WEED NOT LIKE ALCOHOL

I'm a 50-year-old regular user of marijuana and the last thing I want 
to do is come across as a whiner.

However, I have to say that the title you chose for your piece on the 
weed lounge (HelloOccifer) was inaccurate. The largest problem we 
users of "dope" face is the lack of knowledge by those who are 
non-users and those against legalization. Your joke would only apply 
to alcohol users, since marijuana doesn't make you slur your words. 
(At least not when it's used on it's own.)

The Cheech & Chong shtick continues to feed into the idea that abuse 
of marijuana is somehow okay with adult marijuana users and, frankly, it's not!
