Posted: 6/5/2009 7:25:25 PM | | I am not interested in drug addicts or drug user be it class A or class Z. Some of my friends use drugs and I love them to bits and tried to talk them out of it till I gave up. I would prefer to have no relationship at all than have one with a user. | |

Posted: 6/5/2009 8:59:48 PM | Well some ladies here are pretty damn uptight. I smoke once or twice a month so come arrest me. It even says it in my profile. People drink, but we all know alcohol can be abused. So can marijuana.
I don't care of a woman smokes occasionally such as myself, it can be fun sometimes. But even as someone who does occasionally smoke, I may be turned off by someone who is constantly in the vegetative state.
If a woman does not smoke at all, that's fine... but don't get all judgmental.
-My 2 cents | |

Posted: 6/5/2009 11:52:52 PM | I used to consider a pot smoker a deal-breaker. I still do, but only if that pot smoker is irresponsible and neglects social obligations or relationships because of his habit.
Here in California we are in so much debt, I have no doubt in my mind that the governator will soon legalize marijuana. He is desperate. So the argument about marjinuana being bad because it's illegal will become a moot point. Further, there are many responsible adults who enjoy a glass of wine with their filet once in a while, just like there are those who enjoy a puff to relax once in a while. Start judging when that same person who drinks wine becomes an alcoholic, or that pot smoker relies on pot for evrything. Moderation is key. Except for hard drugs, no one wants to date a druggie.  | |

Posted: 6/6/2009 3:54:18 AM | We got enough problems getting REGULAR smokers to stop smoking in public places and stinking up the place, and stoners want to be able to do it all over??
HECK NAW!!
We've got enough problems without some dipwad stoking up on a Greyhound bus and getting the driver blasted so he has a crash..no thanks.
Ciggy's are bad enough.
Now if all potheads would switch to Brownies...we might be able to cut a deal  | |

Posted: 6/6/2009 9:51:01 AM | | I do not smoke pot personally and couldn't even if I wanted to (my job) but I have friends who smoke pot... and I've dated a couple people who smoke pot. As long as they don't do it on a regular basis I don't have an issue with it. Just don't do it in my home or around me. | |

Posted: 6/6/2009 5:39:54 PM | People who drink on a regular basis but talk derogatorily about pot smokers need a kick in the pants. First of all, it says they don't think for themselves and prefer to go with the crowd - moo moo!!
For those of you that fit that category, I'd say do some reading about why pot is illegal but I'm pretty sure you don't like reading or you wouldn't already be so damn stupid. Even better, just watch TV while the economy crashes and keep dumbing yourself down. | |

Posted: 6/6/2009 5:48:28 PM | | Umm...that's a hard one. I've been around pot smokers, and they can be annoying at times and boring when they sit there w/ that gazed stupid look. Plus there's the legality issue. Do I really want to get into trouble just because I was around a stupid pot-head? I don't smoke pot, so I don't want to deal w/ that nonsense. I do hate the hypocrisy, though, when you see alcoholics talking about how pot is bad and how smoking cigarettes is bad. Alcohol is bad too. That's why I tend to stay away from bars. I don't drink alcohol, but I don't mind the people that drink in moderation. The issue is when they go overboard. Alcohol is a drug too, it just so happens to be legal. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 11:31:27 AM | This conversation might as well be right up there with talking about religion, abortion or politics. Can a Republican who thinks that abortion is the moral equivilant of murder date a Democrat who thinks that abortion should be an option in the case of rape, incest or medical emergency? Even with narrow definitions of what is acceptable to one, another might see red.
In the case of a pot smoker, whether recreational or medical (NOMEX on), I am sure there are non pot consumers that see just another "pothead". To me causual recreational use is no different than consuming alcohol in social settings.
Otherwise if one chooses to accept anothers behavior, whatever it maybe, it is a personal choice that we don't have to understand. Personally, if I was dating someone that occasionally smoked recreationally, I'd not make that an issue. If it was a medical need, there would absolutely be no issue. On the other hand, if someone had to start the morning with a vodka tonic or joint, I'd probably opt out of the relationship as that would indicate a life management issue. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 2:52:42 PM | Any women who accepts that the two TOP killers of North Americans;
-Tobacoo
-Alcohol
.. is morally or even intellectually better then Pot ... well ..... keep on walking .....or have a toke to get a clue ...
either way ...
Real gateway drug;
alcohol ...
So once Pot starts enducing D&D accidents ... various diseases of the organs ... Sport riots .... rape ... violence ... hell, even incest .....
then I'll listen to the hypocritical judgements of a society, where a majority are already addicted to the drugs that are "okay".
Valume with a Black Russian anyone? | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 3:38:06 PM | As a pot smoker I don't have a problem with anyone smoking weed around me, even a date. But I do take issue to those that get high and drive, or go to work high, that is unacceptable. I'm really getting sick of hearing people whine about pot while sipping on a glass of wine or beer, that is unbelievably hypocritical. As another poster stated, alcohol is much more dangerous in almost any setting or situation.
Here in British Columbia we don't really have to worry about the cops when it comes to weed, they will never arrest you for simple possession, they just take it away. Anyone that uses the argument that pot is illegal and they don't want to be around someone breaking the law might want to look in the mirror. Have they ever had a few drinks and driven? What about speeding? etc...
It's a choice that I have made and I don't expect others to approve of, but don't start judging me until you've looked inside yourself. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 3:54:44 PM | Anything that's going to potentially get me in trouble with U.S. law, I just won't partake in at all. (er... what a lame rhyme.).. especially after what happened to myself, my mom, and her boyfriend one night.. I'm one of those lame, "ew", people who won't date someone who drinks, smokes, etc. It's the smoking that bothers me more than anything. One kiss on someone with smoker's breath and I'm coughing and wheezing like a kid who has asthma. I just can't stand it, but I know I'm not alone in such a demographic of people.
But who am I to say anything? I'm just a kid, haha. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 4:25:07 PM | I love smoking a Spliff. its so relaxing, ive been smoking it for 3 years now, but, i only smoke once a week. on a saturday night, 2 spliffs and thats me for the night.
BUT, all you people who say it is no good listen carefully: Marijuana is proven to help one in three MS sufferers which is a rather good statistic. It is also quite helpful to cancer sufferers, and, Morphine which is derived from Opium has been used for similar purposes. Canada recently became the first country in the world to approve a cannabis-based painkiller for symptomatic MS sufferers in Chronic pain. The UK’s medicine authorities are currently considering a similar application after canada got the green light.
Marijuiana has been used to 'numb' the central nervous system – helping to reduce any associated muscle spasms with Alzheimer's disease, and as a treatment for sufferers of obsessive compulsive disorder and Tourette's. Cannabinoids found within marijuana can relieve pain and stimulate appetite, which can aid cancer and HIV patients.
so its not as bad as people make out really, as long as your not abusing it. and personally, I dont like kissing smokers even though im a smoker myself. but then I always carry mints or chewing gum around with me so I dont really have smokers breath.   | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 6:08:38 PM | Between all of you, me, and my keyboard - I think pot should be legal. But, it's not, and until it is I don't want to be around it. It is part of my mission in life to fly below the radar of local law enforcement.
Seriously, I don't want to date anyone who smokes anything. I have asthma. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 6:54:32 PM | ^^^^Move to Colorado, it's pretty much legal here. With the new medical laws, its as easy as getting a prescription for codeine. Also, in Denver they passed two ordinances. One to make up to an ounce legal to possess if you're 18 and older(you just can't smoke in public), and another law to make it the lowest enforcement priority. Our police are like crazed monkeys and even they hardly care about it anymore unless you're moving pounds around.
We have a huge political activist group out here that's very active about keeping it medically available and pushing for more legalization, which kills the whole "lazy stoner" notion. Most people who think that only do because of media characterizations or family members who are just lazy cause of who they are, and not because of the pot. | |

Posted: 6/24/2009 7:11:28 PM | | I don't but I support people if they chose to. :) I would find if difficult to reach common ground with somebody who hates or judges others for this perfectly normal desire to feel good. Therefore, I wouldn't date somebody who wouldn't date me if I did! ha! | |

Posted: 6/25/2009 12:40:24 PM | The only difference between the social acceptance of Pot Vs Alcohol-Cigaretters?
- A large percentage of the population is NOT already addicted to Pot.
(Note: I believe Pot to be an "addiction" of routine, discipline and psychology, and not a chemical dependancy)
- Both the Government and Big Business have no inferstructure or system already set-up to make a profit off the vice.
Plus its been proven to be a form of alternative medicine, and like all alternative medicine, the EPA, other organizations and Pharmacudical companies can't bare the lose all the potential revenue to a bunch of spiritual, bohemian hippies and their natural, cost affective methods :)
- Its more useful right now as a righteous point of attack for politics and other public careers. | |

Depends on the person I guess. As for this gal...the answer is an emphatic, "NO". I don't smoke cigarettes, nor do I drink and I gotta be honest with you...it's just something I would not want to be around.
Not a statement about anyone but myself. Some people might be okay with it. But NOT me.
Kind regards to all fishies...

"Puritanical persons: Let the person without sin cast the first stone! " .. So True!
Most persons here will pop a "Tylenol" or two every four hours ... without a thought !
Not a drug user right? Safe over the counter medicine ... Not a controlled substance .. What harm coud it do?
acetaminophen (called "paracetamol" outside North America), is the main ingredient of Tylenol and many other analgesics marketed as over the counter drugs, ( no prescription needed)
"causes three times as many cases of liver failure as all other drugs combined,[6] and is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States,[5][7] accounting for 39% of cases. While it occurs through overdosing[4], even recommended doses especially combined with even small amounts of alcohol, have caused irreversible liver failure. [8][9] ``(From Wikipedia)
The latest evidence shows that it causes 53,000 deaths per year in the United States alone !
Deaths are generally accepted as being extremely hard on relationships!
An exhaustive search of the literature finds no credible reports of deaths induced by marijuana, BUT... finds Tobacco associated with 435,000 deaths,
Poor Diet and Physical Inactivity 365,000 deaths,
Alcohol 85,000 deaths
{Alcohol accounts for 3.7 percent of total global deaths and 4.4 percent of global disease, according to the WHO, and 140 million people throughout the world suffer from alcohol dependence.} (worldwide Alcohol accounts for one out of every twenty five deaths),
Adverse Reactions to Prescription Drugs 32,000 deaths (and possibly as many as 106,000),
Homicide 20,308 deaths,
All Illicit Drug Use, Direct and Indirect 17,000 deaths. And the list goes on ........
Deaths from Marijuana ...... 0 .. That's right ......... ZERO!
For those of you willing to "cast" that "first stone" .................. THINK !
There are forty eight million marijuana 48,000,000 users in the United States alone ...
possibly a recognizable minority....
Why not tax the product, and let marijuana users come out of the closet, live their lives without a fear of being a criminal for their harmless choice?
The taxes collected will put 300 to 500 billion dollars into government coffers each year ...
The next time you pop that perscription, or non perscription "medication" .............. Do You Use Drugs?
Are They Safe?
Who's safer ...... you or the guy who smokes a joint? | |

Posted: 7/15/2009 2:21:29 PM | OMG some of you people are unbelievable. What a bunch of assinine hypocrites. I have been smoking pot for over 30 yrs and quit associating with non smokers about 20 yrs ago because I got tired of baby sitting them every time we went out.
So lets go over some of the crap some of you are passing for facts here:
Pot smokers are lazy and have no ambition:
Well let's see, I work 13 - 15 hrs a day at my own business, go home and get dragged for 6- 10 kms by my 2 Huskies and return home to cook dinner for my family. My circumstances dictate I do this 7 days a week and haven't had a day off since fathers day and that was my first since boxing day of last year. I've had ot cut down to 2 properties from the 7 I use to own due to time constraints.
Pot causes psychotic behaviour and hallucinations:
If you actually read the study you're quoting and understood it you would see that the people in the study weren't even smoking pot but being given chemicals derived from pot. A big difference. Don't believe me? So go ahead and seperate the alcohol in your drink and consume that and let me know what happens to you.
Pot is addictive and is a gateway drug :
Cigarettes and coffee are addictive and the government let's those be sold in every corner of every city. Pot on the other hand is not addictive at all since anyone can quit at any time without suffering any withdrawl or side effects. As far as it being a gateway drug, you can say that about anything since if you're associating with people who do other drugs you're going to probably succumb and do them as well. The gateway to most drugs is usually the inability to cope with life if you ask me.
Pot should be illegal becuse it causes crime:
NO pot causes crime because it's illegal. If you don't belive me then you don't know your history. When they made booze illegal the crime rate sored so much that they had to repeal the laws. Not only should pot be legal but hemp and the 50000 products that you can make from it (including automobiles and the gas to run them) can save this planet from ourselves.
Making pot legal will cause usage amongst our kids to soar:
Again the facts speak for themselves so here are some of them. In the US where billions upon billions of dollars have been spent on "the war on drugs" it has resulted in 10 times the users of cocaine and other drugs per capita vs the next highest country. Canada is no better. In the one country where they had the guts to decriminalize ALL DRUGS (they actually wanted to make them legal but couldn't due to treaties with the clueless US) drug usage amongst teens dropped just like it has in every other country. What they saw was dramatic DECREASE in drug related deaths and the spread of AIDS and other deseases. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourselves...BTW the findings were conducted ironically by a policy institution out of Washington DC.

I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind here but at least educate yourselves if you're going to argue about something you know nothing about...You know what they say though "Ignorance is bliss!" | |
