I told my gf that I want to just smoke on NYE and not drink...she said that is fine if no one knows about it...as her dad had a go at me on christmas for smoking (he thinks I am an addict).
Well, I said to her, and I still think, that it is far better for me to smoke than to get drunk...and I also find it hard to respect someone's negative opinion about smoking marijuana if they smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol (oh why do you need to go have surgery on your arm? that's right, you got too drunk and fell over...don't worry, I'll have some weed for you to help with the pain
)
