I met a girl last week who had a profile saying "I'm not interested in anyone who does drugs" and had answered "no" to that question. Come to find out she's a little pothead and she also drinks regularly..both of which are fine by me.

I think most people are referring to heavy users of hard drugs when they bring them up in the profiles.

Depends, I feel you should be honest. Though if you do hard drugs like Cocaine or the like I definately would not want anything to do with a woman then. Cocaine is a very dangerous and destructive drug that causes permanent damage to a persons mind and body.

If this is the case you should be getting help to get over such a hard drug.

Marijuana is relatively harmless though. I have no problems with it. My only problems are do you smoke it all the time? Occasionally?

If a person was chronically addicted then I couldn't really date that person. If it's just an occasional joint thats a different story. Marijuana is pretty harmless but it still should be used in moderation it's still a drug and like any drug should not be abused.

Anyways I think you should mention it but put what drugs you take in your profile that way people know how to judge you accordingly. If it was just marijuana I probably wouldn't have a problem. If it's cocaine, or some other hard drug at least I know ahead of time to steer clear. I think I would rather know that then find out that im with a woman that might have a dangerous drug problem.

You sound like your brain is fried with uninformed comments like that. Do some research about the medical effects of marijuana. Rehab? what a joke, nobody needs rehab to quit smoking marijuana....no study has ever proven it addictive. Also, your woodstock comments are hilarious, people smoked weed long before the summer of love my friend.

You can be addicted to pot, I was. Did rehab in '94. It's not a joke, not when you're going through it. As a counselor told me about the physical withdrawals "It feels like your head is going to explode". Of course, the mental addiction lasts far longer, but I still don't want to be around anyone doing it, afraid I'll fall off the wagon, headfirst. I met a guy on here that I was anxious to meet, then I find out that he smoked pot everyday. He said different on his profile. If a person partakes of recreational drugs and says NO on their profile, they should at least be upfront at the first contact with someone. Don't waste anyone's time by not being honest. Also, anyone who's smoked pot for years can tell you that the weed out there now is usually much stronger then what was out in the Woodstock era. I've heard it's sometimes laced with other things. Humans can be addicted to many things, not always drugs.

All is one even food is a drug. Coffee? Drug. Sugar? Drug. Chocolate? Drug. Anything can become addictive if it's use is overt.


"I've heard it's sometimes laced with other things. Humans can be addicted to many things, not always drugs."

Thats true drug dealers lace joints with crack. :P

That to me was a difficult question to answer on my profile as well. I answered No. Do I currently use drugs? No, I dont, but I have used them on and off since I was around 12. I am not ashamed of any drug use I have been guilty of, and if i were dating somebody who occasionally used them I would most certainly partake myself. I feel every single person on earth would benefit from using MDMA at least once or twice in thier adult life, and I have yet to find anybody who has done that one to say they disagree with me there. Those who know what I am talking about, Know what I mean there! LOL. If I were with somebody who was against it by either personal bad experiances, or if they were just another person brainwashed by the stigma and government promoted lies about drug use in general,then I would be open and honest about my personal feelings on the subject and if they were a wonderful enough person to me I would be willing to live a lifestyle free of them. I am no addict. I am no junkie, and for much of the past few years not even a user of any kind, yet to me I would not be willing to annouce it in my profile description with the choices that question implies. If I see a profile with "yes" then I have to ask myself, Is this person a crack whore? Are they a true dope fiend, or just a casual user? It just seems like a bad idea to say yes without being able to go into detail, like I am explaining here, not to mention the fact that a "yes" reply will disallow even email contact with many women, and of course saying "prefer not to say" just screams...YES...Does it not? Did I lie? No, as for the moment I do not use them, and for somebody I am in love with, I would not use them again, if that were a requirement they had set, although they would not be able to change my opinion on the subject, and I cant promise them I would not try to convince them to pop a few MDMA pills with me on some romantic evening....hehe.
