I suspected you were one of those lifetime sober people. Many users and drinkers will say good, you're not missing anything, but I think you are missing a little perspective
Didn't Jesus make a little wine at a party when people were already a drunk?
Nothing to suspect, really. I have said as much more than once here. I do not need the perspective of a loadie. I witnessed my youngest brother starting with marijuana and winding up on Meth. He threatened our mother and I put him in jail. I then put him in the loony bin to get clean and he did but he could not live in reality and so took his own life via a gunshot to the head.
These drugs are not something to mess around with and yet states are making marijuana legal. Oregon has made meth and heroin legal for "personal" use. WTF? I have seen more than most here and in the real world so my perspective is one of the reality of drug addicted morons living in squalor with retarded offspring because of the breeding pair's use of drugs. Once beautiful young women, now toothless and whoring themselves out for a fix. Men getting fucked in the ass in a park for the price of a fix. And worse.
As for the Nazarene making wine? I think he did so. But I also doubt anyone at the wedding was drunk before or after he performed that miracle.
Both my father and grandfather were alcoholics too. I just see no need for me to risk altering my personality with alcohol or drugs. I do not force my abstinence of alcohol on anyone I personally know. Illegal drugs are another matter entirely and again, I had my brother arrested and would not hesitate to do so to anyone I know or that was using in public and was pulling a bhanky on me.
Speaking of which, bhanky is an addict and I truly hope he becomes extinct in the near future. He is a disgusting creature and I have no doubt his use of illegal drugs over the years has had much to do with that. I have long grown weary of his moronic posturing and eagerly await the day when someone in the real world "disrespects" him or his wife, dog or whatever. He will have his ass handed back to him and will wind up in jail as there is no room for such beings in a Civilized land. Yup. I hope he gets his ass beat by some guy that bhanky thinks looked at him funny and therefor is "disrespectful" to Brian Wood Healy Spankins.
Reality is that bhanky will probably do nothing and that is fine with me
