"Pot Critic" makes living by smoking pot.

This reminds me.  Oakland just became the first city in the US to industrialize pot growing.

Original Flo cannabis seeds are a Sativa/Indica cross (60% Sativa, 40% Indica) with very Sativa phenotypic characteristics that also matures very early. The large, tight, spear shaped buds are made up of small, densely packed purple calyxes. The plants are taller and like to branch out. Indoors the buds are fully mature by the end of their sixth week. Outdoors the plant is a super producer when multi-harvested over a period of time. The first buds are ripe around the third week of September. About every ten days after that, new buds form and can be harvested through the end of November, if the plant can be kept alive that long. Therefore, Flo is ideal for greenhouse production. The motivational high produced by Flo is quite unique, the flavor is like Nepalese Temple Hash. A most pleasant and enjoyable experience.

They have a WEBSITE!

But more seriously, I'm wondering what the world would be like if the drug of choice was hashish and not alcohol.

...possibly more paranoid, depending...

This is for medical marijuana?  I call bullshit on this entire premise.

Paranoia isn't necessarily a bad thing, if people are actually out to get you.

THEY IS!  THEY IS!

Well, when they can take time off of Idol and cheez curls to do so...

I'd much prefer that to alcohol. At least Cannabis doesn't cause violent tendencies. Pot smokers aren't likely to go out and commit domestic abuse while high. Alcohol on the other hand...

TRUF.

I was musing about this with co workers.  Sagan, Wilson, Bruce Lee, all prodigious THC consumers as well as high functioning individuals.

I can see a whole host of "People being silly people" effects that will show up regardless of the substance of choice.  It would be intersting to see how Angry  / Sad / Weird / Philosophical drunk archetypes would traslate into the different substance

Now, the anti-pot-legalization crowd will tell you the stats say that pot users aren't all that responsible, either.  As in a drain on society since they eat but don't produce, and the hallicunations can make them do stuff they wouldn't normally do, like letting kids drown (the original premise of the OP) and running them over while driving. 

Substance abuse is substance abuse, imo, as I'm coming to find out.  The relative safety of the actual substance tends to be in the hand of the user, though certainly some are definitely more fatal than others.
