Tried a few different ales down the pub a couple nights ago. They weren't big-name franchise ales like John Smith's or anything like that. Brakespear was nice. Old Tom was strong as hell. I haven't gotten fucked on illegal substances for quite some time now. My main vice used to be cannabis. These days it's just a very occasional thing, and only in a social setting. I never buy weed to smoke at home on my own, any more.
This is easily manageable for me now, since I don't smoke at all when I'm not smoking ganja, and smoke that probably once every two-three months. It's not just health-concerns that bother me, it's gotten so expensive around here over the past year or so. £10 a gram. That's another reason why I only do it socially, and only occasionally. If a few of us go splits on a draw, it's not nearly so bad. You smoke it all together, and in the morning it's gone.
