| The drug thing. Posted: 6/12/2007 12:26:13 PM | I just love guys who don't pay attention to something then proceed to put their foot in their mouth. How about chewing it a bit before I remove it for you, Glasmaster420? Okay, so here is what you said:
Hey oneO4fun..... I noticed that you have yourself listed as a BBW You do realize that stands for big beautiful woman right?? Maybe a lil weed and you'll slow down long enough to figure out whats goin on. Make sure you wipe the seat before you sit down to pee.
And now to remove the foot from your mouth. If you look again, maybe when you dry out between tokes, you will notice that it says "Big & Tall/BBW" which is a universal classification for Big and Tall MAN or Big Beautiful Woman. Of course, I am the B&T, in case you did not notice the pics.
In the meantime, try learning how to use the quote system. You will notice that your post is all F-ed up because you don't know what you are doing. Here is a little instruction. When you use the [*quote] tag, you need to end it with the [/*quote] tag. You only do this one time, and it will look like you know what you are doing through the fog on your screen from all the pot you've been smoking.
Now that you realize you were a fool in your post, I accept your apology for the mistaken statement due to your assumption. Perhaps a bit of 420 really does affect your intelligence after all? You list youself as Average, but I would hardly call you average in any sense of the word...  | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 6/13/2007 9:47:45 AM | | Now I am certain you sit down when you pee. I am average in stature; but you are correct. There is definitely nobody else out there like me. I know how to do the quotes but I have been having fun doing it the other way and if it bothers you that I don't do it the "right way"..... then I am even happier than I was before. | |

| The drug thing. Posted: 6/17/2007 6:01:14 PM | Another personal preference thingy.
I have known people who used drugs regularly, especially weed, yet they managed to pay their bills, their taxes, and work like dynamos and raise their kids and be kind and loving to their spouses. In short, didn't seem to affect them much at all.
I've known those who used infrequently, ditto.
But I have also known those who were basket cases. Since they were heavy users, it is difficult to know whether they would have been basket cases with or without the drugs.
But, in my experience and observation, alcohol does a lot more damage. And causes a lot more harm. Most dopers are too happy to make trouble. Unless they can't get their munchies. Alcoholics? That's another tale to tell.
I drink an occasional glass of wine with dinner, or an occasional beer. I had one with pizza the other day with some friends after a big co-operative job of physical labor, and it was tasty.
The big problem with any other drugs, including marijuana, is that it is still illegal. To say that you use it is to publicly acknowledge that you are a law-breaker.
Now, without getting into that whole argument over whether it is better to flout a law if you believe it unconstitutional, or to obey and work to change it, it's still illegal.
I'm not going to say whether I have ever partaken, or not. Those who know me personally, know whether I have, or not. And that is as it should be.
Anything you assume from this is exactly that, an assumption. Imaginary, either way.
Oooooohhhh, a mystery. I like it. | |

i agree. it is not for everyone. just as some people succumb to alcohol and should not use that. however, alcohol is legal and weed is not. curses, foiled again. it is a shame that those "basket cases" give us functioning users a bad name. or perhaps it is us who in they eyes of the "basket cases" are giving it a bad name. | |

| The drug thing. Posted: 6/27/2007 3:46:47 AM | | what i did in the past on here is check no...but then in my profile say that i ocassional smoke pot,because if you check prefer not to say women automaticly assume your a crack head | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 6/27/2007 5:18:38 AM | Smoking weed is just a phase that most teens go throu. When you reach 20yrs or so, most people realize how pointless it is and you get a reality check. Although if you still carry on to smoke it, you could lead on to other drugs and before you know it, your squatting in a filthy, tower block with other junkies and user's. | |

| The drug thing. Posted: 6/27/2007 6:29:48 AM | | well, don't do it myself so would not want to mislead someone else. but although restricted the profile for non-drug users able to make exceptions. that would be for medical marijuana, rather than for necessarily recreation purposes. also think it interferes with judgement. so if you or a gal have to be high or drunk to be around each other it would seem that the relationship is not on stable ground. and it would not be unreasonable for someone in this situation to select partners based on drug use. the issue of legalization, and decriminalization are there. it does not bother me whether someone else makes an independent decision to use drugs. but prefer it not to be a part of relationship am in. also prefer a women or gal who is not high all the time or drunk beyound control | |

| The drug thing. Posted: 6/27/2007 8:59:26 AM | | People are afraid of "drug users", and with good reason. There's a lot of difference between marijuana and crack cocaine, but the consequences to people who get involved with "drug users" can be the same......because ALL of them are illegal. And who wants to ruin a career or otherwise wreck their life because of someone else's drug use? | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 6/27/2007 2:10:27 PM | I'm probably repeating what others have said as i haven't read through the replies, but i'm guessing most people who have "the odd puff" once or twice a year aren't likely to tick the "yes" box. And one would assume on seeing it ticked in a profile the person had more drug involvement i think. | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 6/27/2007 4:13:45 PM | not here to judge
I got two kids that I have full time. Matters zero to me what you do, but you ain't doing it around me or my kids....ever. | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 6/28/2007 7:43:29 AM | | It the box is checked as yes or prefer not to say. I simply move on. For that matter any man that lists beer as a hobby or has a photo of himself holding a drink I tend to steer away from too. Drug and Alcohol addicts need not apply. Now I don't have a problem with medical marijuana, but I don't have to get involved with someone who uses it either. | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 6/28/2007 4:09:04 PM | | well, the fact is... whether we agree with it or not, in the US, marijuana is illegal, if you smoke it, anyone around you is in just as much danger of going to jail as you are.... also it forces you to associate yourself(and anyone around you) with some unsavory characters.....drug dealers..... in many cases... people that are not beyond killing other people in order to protect thier business......... So I can definatly understand why someone would rather pick thier friends or lovers wisely and choose not to expose themselves to that type of life... I don't think they're being picky at all............. that being said, I don't think I'd have a problem dating a woman that checked "yes" for drugs.... but it would bring some questions to mind. | |

| The drug thing. Posted: 7/10/2007 8:26:29 AM | Very well said spider women. It is so nice to know there is educated, intelligent, non-hypocritcal people also on this site. I couldn't have said it better myself! Thankx!

| The drug thing. Posted: 7/11/2007 9:01:31 PM | Good points happy!!
I've been following this thread for a while and It's good to see all the different points of view. I find it interesting how the pot heads are more tolerant of the straight edges than the straight edges are of the pot heads.
God made pot and man made alcohol....... who do you trust??? | |

| The drug thing. Posted: 7/13/2007 12:00:23 AM | Hmm, alot of strong oppinions on here, and rightly so, stand up for what you believe in. Personally, I smoke pot. I've been smoking now for almost 8 years, and while I know that pot is a "controlled substance" and is illegal, I don't think of it as a "drug". To me, drugs are man made, and pot is natural, you don't have to do anything to it, well, other than smoke it or eat it.
Now, I put in my profile that I am a pothead, and that's probably gonna keep me single for a while as most ppl have missconcieved notions of what a pothead is and what pot does to you. In fact, just by reading what ppl have put on here I can tell who's smoked and who hasn't. You non-smokers really should educate yourselves. Anyways, off topic, I think ppl should check that lil box on their profile if they smoke, honesty is always the best policy and everybody has things that they just can't handle in a mate. For some its "drugs", for some it's drinking, kids for others, baldness, what ever, everyone has a deal breaker yea know? Besides, do you really want to start talking with someone, get kinda seriouse and then have them find out that you smoke, or find out that they smoke? It's better to know up front I say, not all surprises are welcome.
On another note, Dreamer, I gotta say, you're full of shit. Smoking is not just for teens, I know smokers ranging from 14 to 75, in all professions, trades, medical fields, buisness owners ect... and this notion that pot is a "gateway drug" is totally unfounded, the majority of smokers I know are only smokers, nothing hard or man made. You're either a pothead, or a drug addict. Now there are exceptions to every rule, but for the most part, that's the way it is. Oh, and personally I'd rather walk into a room with 5000 potheads than a room with 50 drunks. The potheads are more peaceful, polite, and if any argument does start, you can solve it with two lil bags, one of cookies, and one of weed! Yeah sure, booze is legal, but I was a bartender for six years, legal isn't always better. okay, that's it, I'm done.. thats my rant... I'm out!!!! Peace! | |

| The drug thing. Posted: 7/13/2007 12:34:14 AM | | I do think the prefer not to say option is rather odd.... | |

|
| The drug thing. Posted: 7/14/2007 9:29:19 AM | | I figure that if someone reads it & chooses to keep on walking ~ that it's probably a good thing. At least you are being honest. Some peoples minds are to closed... | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 7/14/2007 11:42:20 AM | I would never date a smoker.
Its good that people are honest and to have a heads up before hand.... | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 7/14/2007 11:59:19 AM | it seems to me that if you take a drug that is legal its not seen as a drug but if you dare to break the law and take any substance that your govenment deems illegal then you are a drug user. it would be intresting to know how many people on here that say no to being a drug user take perscription drugs or drugs readily avialable over the counter. this includes cicarettes/cigars/tobacoo alcohol, after all they are still drugs. as for the comments that weed is a gateway is like saying having a glass of wine with a meal will lead to alcohol adiction. we are all drug users in our different ways just that some of us are honest about it and not in denial. | |

|
| The drug thing. Posted: 7/15/2007 8:46:20 AM | It's almost better if your partner doesnt smoke. Your stash will last longer.
Once again..... the stoners get extra points for being more accepting. Maybe there should be a bong in the middle of the table at the next UN meeting.
And yes I am certain that there are some beautiful women around here that are putting extra cheese on something as we speak. I have found that since I put that I'm a pot smoker in my profile; girls that say they don't smoke in their profiles usually do. Or at least the ones that still talk to me after reading my profile do. | |
|
| The drug thing. Posted: 7/17/2007 11:34:22 AM | if it is a big deal....pass em by if it is but isn't....ASK....if a 10 is a heavy daily user of pot and a 1 is an occassional puffer, where would you fit? if it isn't...get together and smoke a spliffy. Of course that doesn't answer the question of other drugs aside from weed......again maybe follow the above....really people....just ask, discuss and make a choice to either move forward or not.....simplify by asking. | |

Here are my questions: How many of you checked NO but would still take a puff now and then? How many of you (I got slammed from some, told to lie by others) would skip over a profile because it says yes? I will not change my YES to NO or Prefer Not To Say. If someone walks because of it, so be it. I figure they will walk eventually anyways. How do you handle this? What are your thoughts?
I do not do drugs-PERIOD. I WILL skip over one who checks yes.
My thoughts? I prefer to date a clean person. One who does not need to self medicate themselves or use the excuse to get high or drunk to deal with life. End of story. | |

Ever come home after a long day at work and take a bubble bath and just relax? Ever had bite after bite of nice portion of Tiramisu enjoyed to complete satisfaction? How bout that morning cup of coffee to get those eyes open? THAT seriously made me laugh-what you have mentioned is legal. Huge difference. But I also enjoy those who attempt to justify their actions. But for shi.ts and giggles, Ill answer- 1) No. I come home after a long hard day at work and tend to my daughter. 2) I do not care for Tiramisu 3) Ive discovered Im out of coffee. Want to lend me some?
And I KNOW you are not attempting to actually lump breathing and blinking into the same category as a neccesity to smoke a bowl. Give me a f'ing break.
Justify away my friend. Justify doing drugs to cope with life! Ya know, if thats what ya need to do. | |
