The habitual pot smoker (stoner) mostly functions when he is high and is "off" when not stoned. I've was around that type of user enough to see the moodiness, nastiness and ugliness of the effects (or maybe its just his personality, or one of them). What always got me was he thought his behavior (yelling, ranting, throwing clubs, berating employees, threatening, etc) was normal and acceptable. He only apologized once and not for being wrong but for making me cry; he was always right in his mind. Their friends are mostly stoners or drunks or druggies of some kind - all types of avoidance behaviors. Anyone normal cannot be around them for long. | |

Would you buy a 40 foot motor home just so you'd have access to a second microwave? | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 4/20/2009 9:46:00 PM | I wouldn't date anyone who did pot.
I don't want it in my car, my house, around my kids or having anything their dad thinks he could possibly use against me.
And, I think having my car impounded because there was pot in it could be used against me at some point. | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 4/22/2009 11:20:52 AM | look it's already been proving that alcohol can kill you & they prescribe pot in 12 states plus I know the benefits of cannabis also Ca. is trying legalize it so what if my other half wanted me to give up I would have to decline because of the benefits & I would hope she understands plus I've seen alcohol make you stupid pot don't  | |

have you ever seen a more "peaceful" occasional indulgence? Really, you never see a pot head all pissed off in a bar starting fights like drunks! | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 4/23/2009 2:19:03 PM | | Legalities aside, I could care less if someone toked up occasionally. I might have a problem, however, if they felt they couldn't function on a daily basis without it and did it every hour on the hour. I like my guys sharp, not in a smoke induced haze on a constant basis. To me, it's no different than having an occasional drink socially or being a drunk who can't live without the bottle. There's a point at which it becomes a crutch more than anything else. | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 4/25/2009 8:31:29 AM | Generally the accepted interpretation of a question in the English language is it's clear and stated meaning . The question on the POF questionnaire is " Do you do drugs?" NOT "Do You Do illegal drugs?" Or "Do You Do Narcotics?" Or "Do You Only Do Prescribed Drugs?" To argue that any other than the plain and clear meaning of this statement applies to marijuana smokers is "specious" For those unfamiliar with the term :
spe·cious (spshs) adj. 1. Having the ring of truth or plausibility but actually fallacious: a specious argument. 2. Deceptively attractive.
To answer the question truthfully, if you take a aspirin you should reply ..." YES" OR if you drink coffee ``` (caffeine) your reply should be .. "YES" To continue to attack those that smoke pot and answer " No" ... is in fact Arbitrary & Capricious ... should every person that takes any drug answer "YES?" I would be willing to gamble that in excess of 90 percent of those answering answer falsely! Most not by intent but by misinterpretation ! | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 4/25/2009 8:44:57 AM | My only quandary with pot smokers is that they have a more carefree "I don't care" attitude, they forget more and invest more time in their habit (high) then in trying to make something work. That has been my experience with one anyways.....so in that case it was a hassle.....

Thats lumping all pot smokers into the same group so to speak.And judging before knowing them. The guy I once dated was a pot smoker but I over looked that for the fact he had a great job,his own place,was very out going and played sports,was very level headed.When I had mentioned to him that I felt he smoked too much pot he listened and would not touch it when we were together.Its all about communication and looking past the bad habit.If it doesn't interfere with every day life then fine but when it does then there is a problem and I would have been out of there. | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 4/25/2009 11:07:09 AM | No I can't. It is illegal where I live. It is expensive and would prefer my money spent on something more logical like bills. I also think a man that complains about buying clothing that has worn out yet can buy pot is in denial. It is mentally addictive. It has been proven that all smoke contains carcinogens. Smoking causes cancer.
Now if you got it for free and used one of the new vaporizing units and lived in a country where it wasn't illegal, go for it. But as long as it is illegal, costs money, and is smoked via a joint or bong type of way, you aren't someone I wish to be around as a romantic interest. Yeah, I don't care what my friends do as long as it isn't around me. Been there done that, had the mug shot. | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 5/3/2009 12:42:42 AM | Amen!!! I'd date with a pot smoker any day over a drinker/drunk! I've seen a drunk steal alcohol or steal to get the alcohol. The pot smoker might steal...Twinkies! I don't get high, either.  | |

| can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers? Posted: 5/8/2009 8:20:01 AM | I think the bottom line is that it comes to philosophical differences.
Personally, I have nothing against pot, but it isn't prudent for me to associate with smokers, so I don't.
I don't agree with drinking and driving nor smoking and driving, but if you are landed, then I really do not see much of a problem with it.
At first. society said it made you lethargic, then they said it made you violent. Which is it?
So long as one meets their responsibilities as an adult, what they do in their recreation time should not be governmentally regulated, if it is just marijuana or alcohol. That draws another gray line, though, as to where you draw the line. | |
