| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers?
Posted: 10/17/2007 9:52:26 PM | I never saw pot or smoked it until I went to Viet Nam, the climate is very discouraging toward hangovers! I started smoking what we called Cambodian Red out of curiosity and because other GI's did. That was some good shit later into my 6 month extension I started smoking China White, that is serious bad news 96 to 98% heroin. I gave it up cold turkey no problem, got lucky. Weed is the least harmful of all recreational intoxicants, far less problems than alcohol or any of the illegal drugs. In my opinion it's illegal because the pharmaceutical industry can't control the supply so medical marijuana is bad. Weed has been proven to be good for glaucoma and useful as an appetite stimulant for cancer patients.
I was once paid $35. to smoke two joints of US Govt grown weed in 1972, supposedly as part of glaucoma research but many of the questions the doctors asked had nothing to due with my eyesight.

Posted: 10/27/2007 5:33:11 AM | Judgmental self righteous ignoramous, learn some truth rather than the bullshit lies that you've been spoonfed by your lying thieving government. If you have an attention span longer than a gerbil try reading "Reefer Madness" by Eric Schlossler. He is an investigative journalist, not a pothead. The real reason that the US government is against marijuana is because entire segments of the economy (ie. local police departments) do not receive enough tax transfer payments from your feds. Therefore they have to confiscate and steal from growers, smugglers etc. in order to pay their local budgets etc. When I was a teen I had a friend tell me he partied with the cops (off duty) all the time because they had all the best pot. I didn't believe him at the time, but now understand why.
If Americans want to stay ignorant and self righteous about their government and their sense of patriotic loyalty; fine; if only they could stop at the borders... if only.. | |

Posted: 10/27/2007 6:57:48 AM | Post #1032: "... the doctor in the hospital used cocaine (not the stuff on the streets) to cauterize my vein..."
My first reaction to this was, "Poppycock!". However, a quick trip to Wikipedia (Cautery) reveals this: "In the few countries that permit the use of cocaine for medicinal purposes, it is occasionally used topically to make this procedure [chemical cautery] less uncomfortable, cocaine being the only local anesthetic which also produces vasoconstriction, making it ideal for controlling nosebleeds..."
I realize this is a bit off-subject, but I wanted to point out that all of us should try to check our facts before crying "foul". Even me! | |

Posted: 10/27/2007 11:38:39 AM | I'm with rainbow_fish ... I don't want to, and can't be around it. I won't share my opinions on pot smoking because that always turns things into a debate on the legalization of pot.
For me... no smoking, period.

Posted: 12/27/2007 10:02:38 AM | I personally have never even tried pot but I have known many people who smoke it. I honestly don't think it matters. Have dated women who liked to smoke it because they said it made them relax, but the side effect was that it made them sexually excited.
So as long as they can respect my choise to NOT smoke, it makes no difference to me. | |

Posted: 12/27/2007 10:25:42 AM | | I prefer non-smokers -- on all levels. Don't like to be around cigarette smoking, OR pot smoking, and thus, I do not date ANY smokers. No thanks! | |

Posted: 12/27/2007 12:06:07 PM | Funny that this thread that I posted way back in August should pop back up at this very moment in time.
I was just debating whether I should change my status of "prefer not to say" to "no" since I haven't smoked for months now. I went from being a very light smoker to begin with, to extra light, to nothing at all. And it's not because I ran out....lord knows I never run out of anything....no, it's just sitting there, probably all dried up by now. I'm not even sure how or why it happened, it
just did.
I just lost interest in it, it got boring...nothing more, nothing less I guess. My life is certainly no better for it, although I can't say it's worse neither. The money was never an issue since I spent less than the equivalent of one meal at a restaurant on my habit per month. I don't sleep as good as I used to, but I no longer have to fight the attack of the munchies at night...and that's definitely a bonus. I even lost a few pounds and I'm now very close to weighing the same thing I did when I was in high school:) I think I actually use to spend more money buying Doritos than on the weed itself... haha! 
And I think I've just talked myself in updating my profile now instead of later:) 
Love and peace to all

Posted: 12/27/2007 1:22:42 PM | | I rather any guy I date to use it. I'm a cronic and no one is coming between me and my mary jane. I could care less if you smoke it or not but I won't quit it. All I ask is that the ones who don't smoke it should at least show some respect if the pot heads do. | |

Posted: 12/27/2007 7:29:59 PM | I was just reading through these threads on smoking pot... I can not believe some peoples answers.
One women typed
I wouldn't sink to chatting with a pot smoker, let alone date them - so I'd have to say 'no', for me.
What gets me is the women that wrote that is probably 80 lb's over weight, laying on the couch eating bon bon's.
Everyone has vises. I dont care who u are....
I for one love to smoke.... that does not make me a bad person. I think more people should sit down... chill and smoke a dube..

I think that is rather a broad statement. I had a vise once, but then I got divorced and haven't had one since. I enjoy a drink now and then, light my pipe occationally, (select tobacco not pot), But I really don't have a vice or crutch. I know a lady who drives me nuts, but I'm not addicted, and I don't have sex often enough to consider it a vice either.
But like you said. You don't care who I am.
"chill and smoke a dube". I'm gonna have to find another hobbie else I might get adicted to POF......
Wonder if I have any oreo's? Never mind I ain't got milk. | |

I won't be with someone that feels the "need" to be stoned, or to smoke up in my presence. If you smoke pot, or do any drug....keep movin on! | |

ALL people WILL get violent if they drink too much alcohol. I should look for some refernces to back that up. I learned in one of my classes in University how alcohol effects GABA in the human brain and it is a physiological FACT that EVERYONE will become violent. Thing is, many folks will pass out before they reach that stage
Yes. MANY will pass out...and therefore ALL will not get violent.
And some will simply stop drinking before they pass out. Some can enjoy a drink or two without gettting so plastered they can't function. Moderation...what a concept.
I hope to meet someone here who's heard of it. | |

Posted: 1/2/2008 12:41:27 PM | First of all:
1. ANYTHING that burns, I don't care if it is leaves in the yard or cigarettes or pot, give off hazardous fumes, tar, Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide. Part of the "pleasures" from smoking anything has to do with the robbing the blood and brain of oxygen. So, people that assert that pot is "harmless" are full of crock.
2. The latest go around of pot has over twice the concentration of THC than when I was in school. So, it is far more a drug now than ever.
3. The combination of THC, tar and other stuff that is burning is accumulating in your lungs just the same as a cigarette, etc.
4. If you want a woman that does drugs, then find one. I will not date someone who does drugs, period. Pot or anything else.

Posted: 1/3/2008 5:46:36 AM | | Alcohol is worse than pot!! And these stupid people saying its so bad don't got a clue!!It helps ADHD cases, People calm down and relax when stressed and many more reasons. Alcohol can make some get violent. So how is it any better than pot?? Try explaining that!! Oh blah blah blah the medical people say other wise. They don't know what there talking about. The government just doesn't want it legal cause they know people will still go to there regular source. Also they probably make it not as potient as well so you have to buy more from them. Also imagine the taxes on it since the government goes overboard with taxes on cigs already!! | |

Posted: 1/3/2008 7:12:09 AM | first of all,, your addictions are nothing for anyone else to "handle" they are your problem, take ownership of that fact. secondly, it doenst make a person wrong or weak or any other negative explative if they dont want to date someone who smokes pot, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, bong, etc., or drinks to excess. getting high isnt going to "enhance" any relationship i am in.
to ppl who are using and dont see it as a "bad thing">>> Honey,,thats what is referred to as denial. at the very basic, you are seeing something that is illegal that you participate in as "no problem". sorry to tell you this but breaking the law IS A PROBLEM! that you chose to deny that it is one, is another PROBLEM. you arent just too close to it to be objective, you are inside the issue to be at all objective. | |

Posted: 1/9/2008 1:12:42 PM | Glad to see this thread is picking up again. Its my favorite to check in on. Whether it be the stoners who can hardly spell marijuana let alone use punctuation or those who argue that using any amount of any drug implies the user is a weak and immoral person yet say they drink or smoke cigarettes, it is always good for a laugh.
Honey,,thats what is referred to as denial. at the very basic, you are seeing something that is illegal that you participate in as "no problem".
First off, I totally agree that it is a personal choice whether or not to be with someone who smokes weed. Just like it is personal preference whether or not to be with someone who skydives or wears purple socks. What I take issue with is your reasoning in the above statement.
What about someone who drives a little over the speed limit? Are they in denial, too? What about jaywalking or not using your turn signal? I mean, in many places that is breaking the law.
To head off the inevitable follow-up question, yes, personally I see smoking pot on a level similar to that of the above mentioned lawbreaking offenses. It is a victimless crime. Certainly it is no more dangerous than having an occasional puff of tobacco or a few drinks every now and then. Like a previous poster said, it is all about moderation.

Posted: 1/9/2008 3:03:11 PM | I have nothing against Pot-smokers . . they're generally _Much_ more pleasant and mellow
people than J/D drinkers . . !!
I'd have my reservations about Dating one, though . .
I wouldn't want to risk my freedom or employment for 'guilt by association' !! | |

Posted: 1/9/2008 3:16:50 PM | Like a previous poster said, it is all about moderation.
sadly, for you and like minded ppl, its not about moderation. it is against the law! to what degree you break those laws and what degree of punishment you recieve for the infraction is situational. but regardless of either, its still AGAINST THE LAW! you can rationalize usage of it whatever way you want,,, but still in its basic,, its AGAINST THE LAW!
What about someone who drives a little over the speed limit? Are they in denial, too?
yeah,, they are, if they dont see it as problematic.
It is a victimless crime. Certainly it is no more dangerous than having an occasional puff of tobacco or a few drinks every now and then
victimless crime, hillarious.
no more dangerous than the occasional puff of tobacco,,, apparently you missed the surgeon general's warning about the consumption of tobacco.
a few drinks can render you incapacitated. so when you get this way,, and then drive your car into a family driving in their minivan,, there certainly are victims.
beyond all that and any situation you can post,,, or i could,, the bottom line is this
SMOKING OF, POSESSION OF, GROWING OF, DISTRIBUTION OF, MARIJUANNA IS ILLEGAL,, get it now?
doesnt matter what spin you put on it, its illegal. thats how the ppl who will prosecute you see it, regardless if you agree or not. | |
