I have never tried Marijuana + Booze together.
Would it just put a person instantly to **82**?
I have only tried mary jane three times and all three times I was in a deep **85** within 60 minutes.

not from what I've seen

I deal with this phenomena at work in the casino and found it to be a truly individual reaction. Just like you can have mean and happy drunks due to alcohol, when you combine them both it seems the alcohol overrides the marihuana so you can have a mean sumbitch with the munchies. I rather deal with a pothead than a **92** any day since they never, in my experience, fight. But, most of the time marihuana is simply part of the cocktail of intoxicants and reactions can be dangerous to me and my fellow officers so when we smell marihuana emanating from a room we are wary.

You have asked a wonderful question, bignatslover.

In 1966 I attended a lecture by Timothy Leary. I think he was still teaching psychology at Harvard, or he had just left.

He was attempting to articulate a philosophy of psychoactive drugs, a project he soon abandoned. But while he was working on it, he struck a rough formulation that: Normal consciousness=0; being **92** =-1; smoking ganja=+1; psilocybin or DMT=+2; LSD=+3.

I've always been more an empiracist than a theoretician, so I went back to my dorm, knocked back about six ounces of Jack Daniels black label, rolled and smoked 3 or 4 joints, and concluded that Leary's formula was not accurate, because wherever I was, it was not flat zero.

Well coming from you that means a lot!  I was born in 1968, so I was very late to the party and the whole Timothy Leary thing.  Therefore, I just rarely partied at all.

I suppose the biggest problem here is trying to quantify the unquantifiable.  Two people can toke from the same joint and have very different experiences.  Two people can try the same mescaline hit and have even MORE different experiences.  But I do like to identify the more basic and readily identifiable factors to help people predict what the brain will do.  I would be interested in hearing anyone else's experiences, as stories like My Acid Trip With Groucho Marx have always fascinated me.

I read this and had a good laugh. Science can be entertaining.
