Posted: 11/3/2005 11:38:08 AM | | I went round & round about this one; finally just checked yes, and added a little paragraph in my profile to clarify; yes, I smoke, and if that is enough to make someone pass me over, that's ok with me; I would rather be honest & up front about things like that, cause it's just part of who I am, and I'm not planning on changing who I am for anyone; I mean, I wouldn't want to meet a great guy, have him find out I smoke & lose him over it; rather just not have him in the first place... | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 12:03:46 PM | | If someone works in a career that requires constant testing, such as in transportation ....Airline Pilot / Ferry Captain / Bus Driver / Olympic Hopefull /Government service / et cetera, they can not use any drugs and remain in their career .... it is a sure finish for life ... and being around someone who uses, may have an adverse effect on them, not even by intention, but by passive association. So yes, a passover is not only possible, but probable. Fun is Fun, but if it can destroy someone's career, it is not worth it. | |

Posted: 11/5/2005 6:18:58 PM | I know this fellow who worked at a company which started drug testing!! Five of them tested positive for marijuana and they were fired!!! The fellow I know was not one of them, but he said the guys they fired were the best workers in the factory and had perfect safety records!! I think people who smoke pot on their own time, should be except from these drug tests as they are not fair, unless they are in a vital profession (pilots, airtraffic controllers, nuclear techs, etc). Crack, coke or meth is what they should strictly be testing for in the average company!!  | |

Posted: 4/5/2007 1:27:31 AM | Randy, I admire your integrity. The technicality of it is that YES you do, according to the criteria used for that question. I do feel the Socially answer is better than clearcut yes and no. You can clarify in the profile what is meant. I have a problem with finding out someone lied on their profile, and marking NO would be a lie. I would excuse myself from the date early, and not make arrangements for a second. If I choose to date someone who uses drugs, that's fine. I met someone tonight that has given up pot and drinking. She marked no, because she no longer does it. She has been clean and sober for over a year, and there will always be a chance she could go back to it. If she does, and we are still dating, we are done.
I have friends who smoke it, and I have no problem with them doing it. They know not to have it with them when they are in my car or my home. I pulled over and left one of them off on the sidewalk when I saw he had a baggie in his pocket. After that, he made sure he never had any with him again. I don't care to have it around me or my kids. If they make that choice, they will make it as adults. By then, they will likely see no need for it, as they will be enjoying life sober and clean. One is 17 and the other 13, and they are doing great.
If I am in your home or car, it's your business. I can choose to be around it or not. If I am going to have intercourse with you, then I want to know about things you do or did that may have helped you make poor choices with partners you have had. It's not that it happens all the time, but when your guard is down, you may let something happen that shouldn't, with the wrong person. Sorry, but it happens, even with booze. Keep up the integrity, and you'll be more respected.  | |

Posted: 4/5/2007 12:52:22 PM | | Simple answer really. Basically, if you check no and you puff, you are lying. The people who skip your ad because of it they are not the right person in the first place. | |

Posted: 4/5/2007 11:02:50 PM | I wonder if that particular field might be more telling if more choices were offered. Some people might consider prescription drugs a non-issue but run the other way at the mere suggestion of the word toke.
I personally would be more concerned with whether or not a particular substance is being misused. The occasional social toke wouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker . A display case of bongs might, lol. | |

Posted: 4/6/2007 1:08:16 AM | OP
I would skip over you for checking YES to drugs. It's not about narrow-mindedness or judgment. It's about choice. I have seen what drugs and alcohol do to people first-hand. I want no part of it. I don't need it. My friends and family don't need it. It's just not an option. Wouldn't want any trouble with the law, at work, whatever. I remember my ex got a DUI while we were separated, before the divorce. Even tho he didn't live with me, my auto insurance (the best/cheapest one around) dropped me like a hot potato.
It doesn't matter how little drug use the person is involved in, if it's only pot, or even habitual drinking, i want no part of it. That's my choice and i like it this way. I don't need any of it to have a good time. Drug/alcohol use turns me off instantly.
I'll stick to people i have more in common with.

Posted: 4/7/2007 12:22:34 PM | ive taken them, before and i cant say wether or not ill take them again,
what gets me is and im not sticking up for drugs at all because to much of anything is harmful,(eat too many carrots and youll turn orange) try it and see!
i see how the masses will sit in front of tv and a new say diet pill will come out, and you will sit there going hey that sounds good, its been accepted by some third party drug testing lab who is roundabout connected anyway with the manufacturer,but hey it must work, so off they go theyll probably take it night and day as an add theyre watching on tv is saying drugs are bad exstacy kills, its made with acid and killer chemicals, they make extacy the same way using the same chemicals as they wouldve made the new fandangle diet pills,
vitamin tablets they extract the nutrients from vegetables the same way they extract the drug content from the plants they take them from,
after all speed the drug comes from a plant, extacy comes from saffron or even vanilla beans, cocain comes from a plant as well, it all is extracted from plants the same way they extract vitaman nutrients, once again im not praising drugs but extacy has probably had more trials done in its existance than that new diet pill that i was talking about. and what a handfull of people have overdosed but these people probably have other problems that alchol wouldve caused death through,
alchol has killed more people than drugs and will keep on going,
i mean the govt knows and says that cigarettes are bad and addictive yet why allow them to keep selling them yet heroins illegal!........................ | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 2:19:28 PM | | I don't do drugs and I'm not interested in dating drug users. That's my choice. I really don't care whether others use or date users. That's their choice. | |

Posted: 4/7/2007 2:43:40 PM | Well i must say that I am a pot smoking, beer drinking, cigarette chimmeny. And i do think that if pot was legalized that i probably wouldnt smoke cigarettes or drink alchohol. I woke up this morning after haveing many beer and listening to some buddies at a band practice and ouch (swollen head syndrome). if it was just pot no hangover just a fat belly and needing to go get more groceries.
I have tried cocaine, acid, mushrooms, and even meth in my younger days. Cocaine dont last long enough. Acid is too long, mushrooms are fun, and meth is just plain stupid. All in all pot is fine but anything else no thanx I dont have the time to waste. | |

Posted: 4/8/2007 6:41:36 AM | yes, i totally agree, if they "prefer not to say", we know it's really a yes. I have spoken to so many peope that actually ticked no... to find out later that they do have the occasional puff like myself.. and maybe a bit of speed and maybe a little coke.. that didn't sound so good, did it... maybe that's why they ticked no..lol but hey, just cause we like to party hard.. and make totall**** of our selves.. doesn't mean that we're all bad and that we do it all the time.. it just means ... that we're ummm, what's the word..very outgoing crazy.. stupid idiots lol but hey it's all good | |

Posted: 4/8/2007 7:16:38 AM | | yes it is your choice, you have made that clear more then once, but theirs no need to go on and on about it, you have obviously had a bad experience and that's sad.. but their are lot's of resposible occasional drug user's, most of us have very good employment, and i bet you would be surprised to know that a lot of people at the top do use lot's of drugs and on a daily basis... and you would never know it... | |

Posted: 4/8/2007 9:27:36 AM | i agree with 100%
I'm not a junkie, I hold down 2 jobs and study for a degree, i have a 3 year old girl who has never wanted for anything.
I too had "YES" and then changed it cos i was being left out in the cold, because as I do smoke once twice a month i'm grouped in with crack heads
the world we live in eh?
Go figure
p.s. changing it doesn't work, it seems it's stuck like that... I also changed the things i was looking for on fish, but the old stuff has also stuck | |

Posted: 4/16/2007 7:55:51 PM | I would not be surprised. I have known a lot of druggies that had good jobs. It doesn't mean they don't lie, cheat, and steal more than other people just because they got where they are. Heck, some may have gotten there because they shared a few pipes with the boss. It's still a bad situation for me. A person who continues to do drugs is not someone I will be around. I don't need to be pulled over just becuase the cops recognized the woman I was with and decided to impound my car because she dropped a baggie between the seats so she wouldn't get caught again. Nope, drugs are bad news, and I won't let them impact my life. You can be as responsible as you want, and smoke as little as you want, but you are still a pothead, and not my match.

Posted: 4/16/2007 8:55:05 PM | | my thoughts on this question are that anyone that drinks, smoke cigarettes or cigars or drinks cofee should be answering yes to the drug question (just to name a few). the question is not do you use illegal drugs but is simply "do you use drugs". if the question was "do you use illegal drugs", then i would have more respect for those that answer no but say they partake of the aforementioned legal drugs. the list could go on and on as to the legal drugs that are consumed by people who fail to acknowledge that on their profiles. i use weed and booze and appreciate all the silence and criticism i receive as a result of said use. | |
