"I smoke pot like a "normal" person (once in a while, very small amount, situation based, don't have to tell myself not to every day, etc.) "
hhhmmmm..... I thought I knew 'normal" people, but they don't smoke pot. I must have a misunderstanding on what "normal" people are.
for me, sober as in "of sound mind" doesn't include mind and/or mood effecting drugs not prescribed and/or taken as directed my my doctor.
