I agree 100% with your post. I would also like to point out that the health risks with continued heavy alcohol usage are far more substantial than any I've heard of with marijuana. I've even asked my father why in the world was marijuana deemed 'evil' and made illegal when so many people die of alcohol-related illnesses every day. His theory is more money greased the palms of the powers that be. Although he neither drinks nor smokes weed, he cannot understand why one is illegal and the other is not.

I'll freely admit I drink socially and RARELY engage in smoking. It's just not my thing. I like to be on warp speed all of the time and being chemically altered to slow down and relax just goes against my nature; however, of the people with whom I have associated, I'd much prefer the company of someone who's 'smoked out' over someone who's falling down drunk any day of the week. I'm pretty much a believer in moderation.

Question, grasshopper...
When I use the bungie cord, how far up do I pull it? Level with my shoulders? I think we actually have a few of those around here, so I can start that and remove the arms from the chair as Resting suggested right away. Sometimes it gets so bad I joke with my husband that I need one of those hard cervical collars to hold up my heavy head while I'm working to relieve the pressure, lol!!!
