Posted: 12/22/2005 9:23:49 PM | Um, well, at what point are you going to break it to the other person??
May as well be up front about it and avoid problems down the road. You are what you are, and it would be better for someone to accept you for what you are, rather than what they think you are because of a misleading profile... | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 9:33:56 PM | | For a lot of people doing any kind of drugs is a deal breaker. Like me for example. Sure pot isn't that bad, but I'm not into that. I don't want to date any kind of druggie, so if you lie on your profile and someone like me goes on a date with you, it's just a matter of time until you crash and burn. | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 10:25:42 PM | I love judgmental and condescending types... their narrow minded knee jerk reaction is always good for a laugh. When people use emotion rather than cognitive thought to base their position or allow the media and peer pressure to dictate their attitude on a subject is tragic.
It its interesting that you can select no drugs and then place a positive response to smoking and drinking in your profile.
Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on the planet and if extracted from just one cartons of cigarettes, an extremely deadly poison.
Caffeine; tea, coffee, chocolate, soda pops etc... If you’re a heavy caffeine drinker go cold turkey and see how you feel, remove all complex sugar from your diet and wait for the headache to arrive.... it will after a few days, you will feel very bad. (I know I felt bad when I got off caffeine and sugar, I reintroduced them to my diet and quit again… same results.)
OTC use and abuse of drugs is very common, the active ingredient in Tylenol can significantly contribute to permanent debilitative condition (regularly take 3 tables rather than 2) known as Parkinson disease.
The questions should be;
Do you use illegal drugs, if so please check all that apply?
Natural psychotropic: Marijuana, Fungi, cactus, coleus, sirian rue etc…
Barbiturates
Amphetamines
Class C Narcotics
The frequency choices should be: 1 or more times a month
1 or more times a week
Daily
Socially could mean every night and, occasionally could mean what ever you perceive it to mean. Ask an alcoholic what constitutes abuse and wait for the answer that denotes their denial of their addiction. Once had a relative state they were not an alcoholic because they don’t get drunk why, they only drink a six pack after work to unwind no problem right!
"Loving You"
I would rather be around a "pothead" than a “heavy drinker” any day especially in traffic.
Do not assume that if someone stated they smoked weed that would indicate their kids are even aware that they do or have in the past. Categorizing someone as "The Type Of Person" and then making wild speculative and judgmental statements without foundation that they contribute to the delinquency of their children is very rash and un called for. You should be ashamed. In fact you should tell them your sorry!
Marijuana is legal in Alaska to grow own and use in the privacy of your own home. In some other states it is a misdemeanor and some municipalities have a policy of no enforcement for personal use and possession
In the current generations most people have tried smoking pot (usually they inhale too).
Age showing, your response sound like you may have seen the original version of reefer madness and was scared out of your wits by the propaganda.
Anti cannabis legislation did not actually make it illegal it simply required that you purchase tax stamps for selling or distribution. The interesting part is the stamps were never issued so it was impossible not to break the law for tax evasion, not possession which came much later. | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 10:32:33 PM | yes...you listed many drugs up there...
but i think they mean "do you do illegal drugs?"...not prescription drugs, asprin, caffine, nicotine, ad nauseum.
but thank you, Captain Obvious, for appearing in yet another place where you were almost needed. | |

Posted: 12/22/2005 11:23:30 PM | | Well it's too little too late now since it's a POST, but I would say no and decide to on a case by case situation. Some people won't even be worth your time so what business is it of thiers what you do. Now if you meet someone and have decided you'd like to actually spend time with them, then you should let out your little secret.. send him smoke signals.. :) | |

I can't even begin to tell you how many people need to read that post...the ironic part is the people that need to most are the first ones to dismiss it because they are closed minded.
Married guy made an excellent and MUCH NEEDED point. The more important underlying fact surrounding this issue is that people are so quick to judge someone based on the fact that a certain drug is illegal...they automatically assume that whoever passed those laws had the ulimate knowledge on the substance....these people are mindless drones who can't be bothered with informing themselves....
The simple fact that it's most people's natural tendancy to separate alcohol, nicotine, caffine, and "DRUGS" (illegal ones obviously) speaks volumes about how society has been led on by the media and the authorities....
Cigarettes and alcohol kill more people than weed does...but to some weed is the worse drug because it's illegal that's complete BULLSHIT!
THINK FOR YOURSELVES!

no bulls**t, it is illegal.....
Isn't it funny how people can justify ilegal activity in so many ways.... I can't wait till we see "it was just a little murder, and wasn't even mine... i was just holding the gun for a friend... they must have left the body in my car...."
call me crazy, but if you can go to jail for doing something, it might not be a good thing to do... and to head off the "brave" pot heads out there that will defend their right to break the law... go sit in front of the police station and break out your bag, roll one up and put some fire to it.... take pics and only then you can talk about cops don't do anything about it.....

Posted: 12/23/2005 1:39:23 AM | You know whats really funny and I didnt read the post before me, but some of the worst drugs are legal and people think they are so high and mighty for not using mary jane. SMOKING IS BY FAR A WORSE DRUG THAN WEED. I personally think drinking is far worse too but of course all the conservative people out their that listen to the governtment hype about weed would disagree with me. Look up the stats...How many people die from weed/smoking/drinking each year...Bet you will be suprised. I dont use weed/drink much and dont smoke but I laugh at america and this BIG fright of something that is less dangerous than legalized DRUGS i.e. smoking and alchohol.
Gets off of grandstand/soapbox/shoulders...
P.s. If someone comments on my spelling...Look up my profession...I went to school for it, do it for a living and we didnt have to take very many english classes. | |

Posted: 12/23/2005 1:45:14 AM | | I read this post above my other one. You know, just because someone says you cant do it, doesnt mean you shouldnt. What happens if we make something you enjoy alot against the law, will you just quit? Sometimes the government makes things against the law for their benefit...or they screw up and make something that is bad for you not...Asprin for instance is not very good for you but is legal because it past the usda before the constrictions on drugs were as strict as they are now. I love how people go all high and mighty but if you look at their past, they dont constantly follow the rules...i.e. speeding tickets and such. Before you judge, take a look at your self. | |

Posted: 12/23/2005 5:03:46 AM | I should have said selective enforcement rather than no enforcement. I use to live in a major city where the primary drug trade was controled by the police department. There were and continue to be arrest of their competition to protect their market.
In one case crack cocane was found behind the horn on the stearing wheel of a squad car that was in the shop for maintenance. A check of the other squad cars in the shop reveiled a total of 8 squad cars in the shop had crack cocane hidden behind the stearing wheel horn.
Every evening a large group of people congrigates in a parking lot drinking and smoking pot. I was riding my bike one evening and could smell the dope so cut across the lot to get a closer look at the bunch that was "turning on" in the parking lot of the local store just a block from my home. As a parent I want my kids to be able to go to the store if they want in safety and not be exposed to drugs.
Upon getting closer I noticed than in the middle of this group were several unmarked police cars and even one squad car pulled through lights and all. These public drinking and pot smoking gatherings were being held by police officers. Some on duty in uniform and in their patrol cars.
I hate the illegal drug trade and its impact on my neighborhood and would love to get the thugs off the street. The only problem is these thugs, all toting guns, are also the people that are tasked to enforce the law in Memphis Tennessee.
An officer shared with me that he was tasked to guard a wherehouse filled with pallets of pot during an FBI raid. He lamanted the fact that he couldn't snag some for himself and also shared how nurvous he was as he learned from the watch commander that the stash belonged to the police department.
In Memphis if you want someone robbed killed stalled or worse you just have to know which cop to approach.
I did the only thing I could do without getting hurt, I moved 400 miles away to a small town!
It was just made public that in another city the chief of police with a background in gang taskforce activity was actually the head of a tribunal of all the gangs in the city and owned the illegal drug, gambling and organized crime in the city. When summoned before a grand jury he fled rather than testify.
I'd like people to look at Hollands drug enforcement policies, low crime rate and low drug addiction rate. Why..... its legal there.... ! All the organized crime and distribution in the uninted states that is drug related is avoided in Holand because there is no profit in illegal activity when you can go to the store and purchase all the dope you want at a fair price. | |

Posted: 12/23/2005 5:04:10 AM | So... because I don't like drugs I'm closed minded? How about, I have a different preference. I also don't like eating mayonaise. Am I also closed minded? It's called a preference.
If you do drugs, admit it. That way people will know if you fit their PREFERENCE. | |

Posted: 12/23/2005 5:26:58 AM | | Opticalnoise, good point, it burns me that I am called close minded. I agree its a preference I'm nolonger knocking a pot smokers preference, but please respect mine..mainly that i don't want to date some one that does pot..for my own reasons. That I shouldn't have to justify. Honesty is the best basis for any relationship. | |

yes someone than can smoke., but still live a normal life.
Yes, until the smoking kills them.
Though truly I don't consider being a slave to anything living a normal life. Always having to answer to the call of the drug. It really rules your life, and if you think you have control over it you're only kidding yourself. I smoked for 17 years, I know. | |

Your right, we should make out own laws and anything that we like sould be ok, the h**l with anyone else.... I'm sure Ted Bundy and Jeffery Domer would be you 2 biggest supporters...
This post has vered way off corse.... I think the original question was should you lie to people right off the bat when starting a relationship....

whp cares if u toke up we all have at one time or another
Not everyone does or has tried drugs..
I'm 35 in all my life i've never tried any type of recreational drugs.. no pot, no coke, no nothing..
so.. not everyone does it.. and not everyone wants to be with someone who does.. so my suggestion to the OP is be honest.. least you get involved with someone and end up getting hurt when they find out you do and leave you.
good luck | |

Posted: 12/23/2005 8:27:26 AM | Good point, Tim!! Sorry for getting off topic, but it happens...
To the OP and with staying on-topic, YES you should put yes in your profile about the drug question. Weed, even only now and then is drug use. Honesty is key in developing new friendships for sure. | |

Posted: 12/23/2005 8:27:41 AM | | You should say you smoke pot. Many people will not have a problem with it; and those who do, should be told right off the bat. | |
|
| should i answer yes to do i use drugs?
Posted: 12/23/2005 8:32:40 AM | PS, way over half the people in my age bracket have tried it at one time or another.
It just isn't in the same category as other more serious drugs.
And to whoever said it will kill you, get real. The amount of marijauna people smoke is tiny compared to the amount of tobacco even a casual cigarette smoker smokes. Cigarettes are WAY, WAY more deadly. | |

Weed, even only now and then is drug use.
In my opinion, occasionally pot smoking should be separated from the more harmful chemicals. If someone smokes weed on the weekends and decides to answer a YES to the drug question...they could be passing up potential matches because someone may assume that they are into coke or crack or other manufactured drugs.
If you smoke weed occasionally and decide to answer NO...and then tell your date afterwards the above reasoning behind it...90% of people would be OK with that...the other 10% are just fanatical morons who you don't want in your life anyways....
