Let me ask you a question in return:

You need that heart valve surgery. One surgeon occasionally smokes pot when he's off duty and not on call, the other drinks a quart of Jack Daniels a day that he keeps in his desk drawer. Which one do you allow to operate on you?

Seeing as you do not want to play, I will still answer yours. This becomes the lesser of two evils. You baited it by giving the pot head an occaisional toke and the other is a drunkard. Obviously I would go with the occaisional pothead.
