Image
With cannabis now legalized in Canada, many are beginning to consider its use for the first time.  These prospective marijuana smokers  will weigh cannabis use against alcohol consumption... but how do the two truly compare? Both are recreation drugs, and intoxicants. But cannabis had several key differences to alcohol, including its extensive use as a medicinal drug, something   its counterpart   cannot promote. One of the most stark differences is in single use comparisons. Alcohol is toxic and overdoses can result in death.  In the USA roughly 80,000 deaths per year are linked directly to alcohol overdose, while 0 deaths have ever been documented for overdose on cannabis. Both drugs affect motor control and mental capacity, and both can cause illness when a dosage too large is taken; but Alcohol alone causes death by overdose.

Quality Glass: What to look for

There are 2 things to take note of when selecting a glass piece based on durability and quality: the type of glass and its thickness. Of the two quality of glass is paramount over thickness; however, both play integral roles in determining the durability and life span of your piece.
