I have been around a lot of people who smoke and a lot who drink. It's really more about how much you do more than what you do. Pot is often touted as a 'lighter' drug than things like cocaine or alcohol... but it's not, really. You can get just as messed up. I can't speak for long term effects of it, but in the short run I've seen people as disabled by smoking as by drinking. I've seen those who have enough of a buzz on that their judgement is impaired on both, and enough that have just a light buzz but otherwise function normally. I couldn't tell you personally though. I've been mildy drunk before, but never falling down drunk. And I can't go near pot smoke. Even being near people who are smoking gives me migraines. Tai seems to be someone who just gets a light to moderate buzz, and has enough awareness to know when she has had to much and should just sit down and watch Adventure Time.

BenRG:
Regarding Pintsize: If his current chassis has been seriously damaged, then they'll need another one to get him operational again. The only two available are Momo's original Chibi-chassis and, possibly (if she never got around to shipping it back) the RoboBoyfriend Dr Elicott-Chatham built for Hannelore.

Now, just think about what Pintsize might be like running around in a human-sized body that's just a bit too 'uncanny valley' for any girl to find attractive.

I don't completely disagree with that—having grown up with parents who were addicted at different points of my child and adulthood (part of why I won't smoke—though I don't judge others who do). When people high on pot, though, they tend to be a lot less likely to exhibit volatile behavior—though some can be complete @ssholes coming off their high. Also, how much they are stoned depends on what they smoke and their personalities to begin with.

That aside, it's generally more accepted (sometimes expected) at a university or even in an art environment (like an ad firm I designed for) to occasionally smoke on the job, but very frowned upon to drink to the point of drunkness. Ironic—considering pot's been illegal in the US until recently.

You....you do realise that this is Hannelore Ellicot-Chatham you're talking about right? The woman who has a military grade robot for cleaning her living room? The woman who ends messes? The woman who took her OCD and made it a business for counting? We are talking about the same woman, right?

Unless Hannelore got a hold of something else from her dad. I really have a feeling, though, Pintsize could be gone. Pretty symbolic if he is. Or he will be a source of information if/when he wakes up.

Was thinking about the lack of surprise from Marten could be a sign his emotions are shut down right now until everything is assessed and cared for. Been there as a parent during emergencies. Somehow instinctively you shut feelings away in these situations until the person(s) under your care are out of danger. You have to in order to think clearly and get done what needs to be done.
