Posted: 3/15/2012 1:29:42 AM | | You can smell alcohol on a persons breath.....You can smell cigarette smoke on the persons clothes and breath, same goes for pot....So chewing gum, or smoking once in a while will still smell....Those who are sensitive to the smell will smell it whether you smoked one cigarette every week or a pack daily, same goes for breath smell....There really is no hiding it people can smell it. | |

Saying "I do drugs" if you don't mind a little smoke for fun occassionally seems like you are saying you are a crack addict. Not likely to get a lot of dates that way! I disagree. When I read the does drugs section, I assume, MOST of the people who answer yes do pot because it's probably the most common drug out there.
You're trying to justify LYING as a way to manipulate people to date you. Fact is, if you smoke pot, even occasionally, you ARE a drug user. Instead of lying in an effort to get people to date you who wouldn't normally do so, why not try telling the TRUTH and find someone who'll date you for who you actually are and not just for who you pretend to be? Try being honest and then just simply making a note in your profile about being 420 friendly instead of putting on false pretences that you don't do drugs when you actually do. If someone doesn't want to date you because you do drugs, that's their right not to...you, however, do not have the right to hide it from them in an effort to manipulate your way into their lives. | |

Pot smokers are always trying to equate pot smoking with drinking--this is part of their debate platform. But it is a false analogy. I've done both and I know there is a big difference....unless the pot these days is so consistently weak as to have almost no mood and consciousness effect on you unless you smoke heavily. I smoked pot from age 18 to 21, regularly, back in the very early 70's. There is a huge difference between the effect on your mind and mood when you have one or even two drinks and when you smoke a joint. There is no comparison, period.
Just as there's a difference between beer, wine and liquor in varying quantities the same applies to marijuana. There exists differences not only in the quality of the marijuana but also in the method of use. One or two drinks to effect your mind and mood also applies equally to smoking part of a joint by yourself or sharing it with other people considering the quality of marijuana smoked.
Drinking one beer, finishing a 1/5th of Jack Daniels, drinking 3 glasses of wine, smoking one joint of middies (average quality weed) with 4 people, smoking a whole blunt of sour diesel (very high quality weed) to yourself, sharing a bong with 4 people, eating half a brownie, these are all examples of drug and alcohol use that effect the mind, mood and body at varying levels of intensity.
It is devious to imply that one hit off of any joint of any type of marijuana will knock you on your butt without difference | |

What if you smoke Salvia Divinorum and it's legal in your state, but it's not legal in your girlfriend's state? Does that make you a drug user? If you drink coffee or smoke cigarettes, does that make you a drug user? They are more addictive than marijuana. | |

Posted: 3/16/2012 7:16:55 AM | I am proud to say that I am no longer a pot smoker. It is a very expensive nasty filthy habit. imho And also have been off cigs since 1995, after smoking them for 25 years.
It was costing me about 75 to 100 dollars a week to smoke it. Combine that with smoking cigarettes, and the cigs, which is often the case, and THAT can easily cost you 50 dollars per week to smoke THEM!. Who on earth can afford such luxuries this day and age. That is a frigging mortgage payment!! Very irresponsible way for anyone to spend their money.
I started smoking pot again after my divorce for two or three years, and it did help me a great deal, mostly by keeping me "sober" while out of the bars. So I really do not have any regrets, and I really did enjoy it, and had a lot of fun with the company that I was keeping at the time.
There are indeed a lot of decent, respectable, intelligent, creative.....etc... people who enjoy smoking weed. So yes.I can and do "handle" people who smoke weed. To each his own, no harm no fowl/foul..........I see nothing wrong with it
BUT..... I would not be receptive to getting/being in a intimate relationship with someone who smokes pot daily, morning, noon and night. Just my personal preference. Been there and done that, I have found/decided that it is not for me. | |

Posted: 3/16/2012 8:03:30 AM | | I don't like pot, and if the guy I am dating smokes it, I tell them that I don't want it smoked around me. It makes me sick. As long as he respects that, I'm ok with it. | |

Posted: 3/16/2012 9:10:00 AM | I dont mind a pot smoker or drinker who is moderate. For example the occasional one to unwind at the end of the day or after sex, or passing one around at a party.
On the other hand i could not function in the same space with someone who is so bombed out that they cannot communicate, or make a sound judgement all the time. And dont even get me started on the paranoia and victim mentality that comes with any type of mind altering substance.
Anyone that does this as a survival mechanism or coping strategy can do that in their own time i have no space for that in my life.
Everything in moderation is ok, but when its dominant its bad. | |

I would date someone who smokes pot over an alcoholic any day! | |

The US military is pretty darn strict when it comes to any kinds of drugs.
really? don't you specifically mean about drugs they disapprove of? not the ones they approve of? every military I've ever been around virtually encourages the use of two drugs, alcohol & tobacco
also they give what would typically be 'illegal' drugs w/o prescription, to military members and virtually order aircrew/plots to use them -"go pills" which are stimulants, usually dextroamphetamines, trade name Dexedrine, known as 'dexies' on the street.
The US army also administered LSD, DMT & other hallucinogens on soldiers in experiments to see if they could be used as mind-control methods or against enemy troops.
They just don't want you to have fun, or to make these decisions for yourself- especially since pot makes most people more passive/less violent, not desired in military personnel. Booze is better as it makes many people more aggressive | |

What if you smoke Salvia Divinorum and it's legal in your state, but it's not legal in your girlfriend's state? Does that make you a drug user? If you drink coffee or smoke cigarettes, does that make you a drug user? They are more addictive than marijuana. If you consume drugs that alter your state of mind, you're a drug user whether it's legal or not. There are many prescription medications that some people take that alter the mind, and if they take it for non-medicinal reasons, I would also consider them drug users. The legality of a drug isn't what makes you a drug user; the fact that it alters your mind does.
As for alcohol...someone choosing to drink a glass of wine doesn't make them an alcoholic any more than someone choosing to consume weed every once in a while makes them an addict. Being a USER is not the same as being and ADDICT. I choose not to date someone who smokes weed, not because I think they're all addicts, but because the smell of weed makes me ill and I don't want it around me. I make no judgements about the people who partake, simply state the fact that I don't want to be around it...period. Even if it's been hours since someone smoked a joint, I still can smell it on them (similar to those who smoke cigarettes...the stench lingers), and so, it's better for me to avoid weed smokers altogether.
As I said before, there is a difference between a user and an addict. If you NEED any substance to get through your day, you're addicted to it -- legal or not, it doesn't matter. Personally, I prefer to live my life by actually experiencing it and not going about in a haze, and I prefer to spend my time with like-minded people. If you, or anyone else for that matter, needs any sort of a substance to relax or have fun, then I suggest that there's something wrong with you and you may want to rethink how addicted you are to your vice, whatever that vice happens to be. | |

probably around 1/2 of adults in North America are addicted to caffeine- it's actually quite a potent drug, only 50 to 100 mg. (less than 4 oz. of brewed coffee for example) or so will easily result in marked changes in someone not used to it (addicts develop a tolerance and it takes much more to give a given result) -heart rate speeds up, pupils dilate, tachycardia (racing heart rate & palpitations) can occur.. with more, can result in irritability & aggression, very poor sleep, fatigue & constant tiredness in many people -withdrawal also creates similar results, along with severe headaches.
just because it is legal & widely available does not negate the fact it is a powerful drug, causing many negative effects in most people. most will say " I'm not addicted, I just need to have a cup or five to get started in the morning" -you're addicted, then. | |

Posted: 3/17/2012 8:56:17 PM | I don't smoke anything because I'm allergic - runny nose and watering eyes is just the half of it whenever I'm exposed.
What bothers me is usually to purchase weed, one has to deal with the slimey underbellies of society. Folks who are losers, lowlifes and criminals.
Thats the way it is in this town anyways. I'd rather get the digits hacked off my hands and feet than have anything to do with the slimey piece of fabric that calls herself a dealer.
Just sayin.... | |

Posted: 3/19/2012 3:35:47 PM | the only reason this situation exists is because it's created by the government prohibition. otherwise, people would just grow it in their garden. i certainly would.
as a society, we are in massive need of education regarding all substances people are using. in my perfect world, all revenues generated by sales of cannabis would be earmarked specifically for this purpose. should we have pro cannabis commercials on tv? no more than should we have pro alcohol commercials on tv! absolutely not!
i recall seeing an anti cannabis propaganda commercial where someone was acting insane at a drive through, and then ran over a kid on a bike speeding out. the message was "marijuana, and you thought it was harmless" . people see such total nonsense, and they conclude that government is lying to them, which it is on this issue. if the government is lying about cannabis, might it not also be lying about other, more dangerous drugs?
and this is perhaps the greatest harm in the cannabis prohibition. by lumping cannabis with truly dangerous substances like crystal meth, the government undermines any effort to educate about these deadly and ultra addictive substances.
instead, we have a fiasco, where alcohol is advertised on television and the u.s. medical system dispenses 95% of the world's hydrocodone to 5% of the world's population (all for the glory of pharmaceutical profits) and people who use cannabis are criminalized.
this is sheer stupidity. | |

Posted: 3/19/2012 3:55:41 PM | If it were smoke a joint every now and then like I have a beer in the evening then okay...but not all the time...and all the pot smoker girls and guys I've known have been pretty heavy smokers. Yeah, they didn't smoke at work but once off work and at home toke-toke-toke-toke. Friend's wife is a total hippie stoner and she goes through an ounce a week!
As far as pot being illegal...there's no logical reason for it. Alcohol and cigarettes are as bad or worse and they can be bought almost anywhere.
I honestly think it's illegal because of 1) who uses it and 2) so lawyers, cops and prison guards can have good-paying jobs and pensions. | |

Posted: 3/20/2012 2:39:30 PM | People are hilarious about this...
My boyfriend is I guess what you would consider a "stoner." Smoking relieves his back pain, stomach pain, anxiety.... etc etc... I very, very rarely smoke because it honestly just makes me really lazy- makes me want to eat and sleep. Its effect on me does not fit in with my job and lifestyle. However, it has a complete opposite effect on him. I have never once watched him neglect something important or show up late for work, or anything, for that matter just because he ust got finished smoking a bowl. He smokes then heads for a jog. Or goes on a 4 hour hike. He has an insane sex drive, which I greatly appreciate. He is a science and physics nerd (which is hot). He is nice, sweet, smart, funny, articulate, happy and hard working. And guess what? He's probably high, too...
I would say that I smoke once or twice every 3-4 months. He smokes a few times a day, every day, unless he goes on a 2-3 week break, which he occasionally does. We have a very, very fulfilling and active relationship. So yes, it can work out very well. | |

Posted: 3/21/2012 1:00:35 AM | | I find it funny how people compare marijuana on this post to alcohol. Why compare two drugs? Thats like comparing cocaine to meth? Does it matter which one is worse? Thing is, I never had a good reaction to marijuana. It makes me sick and the first time I tried it, I could not breathe and I thought my heart was gonna pump out my chest it was beating so hard. Pretty much anything addictive can be bad for you, including marijuana. Caffeine, sugar, salt, alcohol, drugs, food. It's all there. So comparing one thing to another is stupid. Just use common sense and use those things in moderation if you plan on doing it. Plus, it stinks, and give you bad breath..yuck. | |

Posted: 3/22/2012 6:02:47 PM | No they cannot. They cannot, pot smokers are using a personallity effecting drug. This means they are one person on it and one with out it.
Medically used in moderation and discretion i can see possabilities. but the party people who abuse this are really on thin ice.
My wife of 10 years suddenly decided to start hanging with old highschool friends that had moved into the city. 1 year later the wife i loved and would have died for I could not have recognized. Her new boyfriend is in the drug scene. She and i had equall paying jobs with a daughter at home and she smoked it all away.
so from my experience i would definately say no.
and by the way I was 20 once and did all that crap and grew up. be honest with people on here they are looking for friends and family. I am currently a cigarette smoker and need to accept that non smokers would definately balk at bringing that into their lives.
and on and on it tend to do that :) sorry for the rant it hit a little close to home. :) | |
