Never in my case, I'd only take weed ahead if it was the end of the night and I knew I'd go home to bed soon. That stuff really fucks me up after the laughter phase passes, I just can't function. True story: at my high school excursion trip we were high pretty much all the time. Anyway, while in Nice, we got high in the hotel and my usual snooze-fest kicked in, so I just lay face down on the bed to rest. My friend thought it'd be cool to burn my heel so he took a lighter and held it under my heel for like 15-20 seconds. It took me those 20 seconds to feel the pain and jump of the bed.
Alcohol beats weed any day of the week for me.
