6. I'd definitely would be more concerned about the alcohol than weed.

As for my personal consumption, I tend to be the quiet, giggly drunk. However, I know others that are belligerent and others that fall deep into depression when consuming it.

I can also recount many times where I've heard stories of cocaine/crack users who fall into suicidal feelings when coming off highs from those drugs for several days afterwards. It's difficult to believe that short amount of euphoria is worth it considering the paranoia that comes while using it and the depressive state after using.
