| | can non-pot smokers handle pot smokers?Page 75 of 77 (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77) | | How is this any different than any other preference. We have threads all over the place where people don't want to date/associate with other people because of some specific reason, and it's normally just written off as a "preference." How is this any different? Why is there such a fight for all of this, and so much talk about how people "need to be educated?" If the person was too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, or any other of the myriad of things that shows how picky, vain, and shallow we can be, it would be no problem. You just have to suck it up and keep on moving. It's really telling when I'm not the person that engages in illegal activity, and yet, somehow I am in the wrong. | |

Posted: 3/22/2012 10:31:56 PM | I've never smoked marijuana and I never plan to. That said, if my SO has her life in order and is responsible about it - no, I wouldn't really care if she smoked it. I'm pretty sure alcohol causes more problems than marijuana anyways. | |

A CASE OF WHY DOPE MAKES YOU A DOPE BELOW:
He said it makes him horny, not dopey. But I almost believed you because you wrote it in capital letters, so it looks really important.
I don't personally like marijuana, so I don't think I'd date someone that was smoking it every day. I wouldn't be upset if I dated someone that used it responsibly - once in a blue moon, as long as they don't touch any other drugs like cocaine. | |

Anyway it takes a open minded non-pot smoker who understands weed is no different than drinking Just because someone doesn't want to be around someone who does drugs doesn't mean they're close-minded. Also, many of us don't want to be with someone who drinks either, so what difference does it make? You're running on the assumption that everyone thinks drinking alcohol to have fun is acceptable, when there are many of us here who don't condone either. It doesn't make us close-minded either....it makes us people who know what we want in someone we're dating, and that simply doesn't include anyone who needs a mind-numbing substance (regardless of what it is) to get through life. | |

Posted: 3/25/2012 3:10:02 AM | Dang this is a long thread!
And the OP isn't even on pof anymore.
The subject is a lightening rod.
If a person smokes in moderation and in the privacy of their own home, I'm ok with that.....though I won't join in. | |

Of course it's different... we're ALLOWED to drink.
While I'm a supporter of both occasional drinking and pot-smoking, I in no way think of them as being similar. No one has found a way to use a scotch and soda to help with Glaucoma, for one thing.
Non-pot smokers should definitely stay away from pot-smokers. I forget who said it now it's a bit further back in the thread, but it IS like a preference.
I think there are some truly laid-back people here who are fine with not smoking pot, while their honey partakes now and then... and I read the post from the lady with the pot-smoking man who turns into a kind of active stoner when he's smoked, while she admits that she feels lazy when she smokes... she seems perfectly happy with her situation, but I think that is an exception to the rule.
The majority of posters who are squarely against it are kind of "forceful" about it, so obviously the combining of pot-smoker and non-pot-smoker could be explosive.
Not literally, of course. | |

Posted: 3/25/2012 8:32:04 AM | I agree with this. Nice and simple.
I do think it is interesting that the word "handle" was used, because it insinuates ability or inability, when I think whether or not you smoke pot or date someone who does is all about preference, not ability. As a man who does not smoke pot, I can, and have "handled" women who do, but I prefer not to. | |

It's federally illegal.
Only until the Federal Government wises up,stops wasting tax dollars trying to
"win" a losing battle,starts making money by growing it legally themselves,decriminalizes it,no differently than they did when they ended Prohibition of Alcohol,and start letting the STATES decide what's legal and illegal and staying the F*ck outta it!
I think Republican Conservative 'Morality' is tied into this and it's ridiculous to control one drug (that does the LEAST amount of harm to society in general and by comparison) and not all the other legal drugs like Alcohol,Tobacco,Caffiene etc!
What is we illegalized ALL ALCOHOL again? I'm sure the Federal Government might go into serious withdrawls on a gigantic scale!But guess what?
ALOT more people would actually LIVE to smoke a joint and chill.
My gawd...Prescription drugs are more rampantly used and causing people to OD left and right and they are worried about WEED?
Really?
LEGALIZE it at the Federal level and TAX it! The US is falling the f*ck apart and Weed Smokers could be part of the ANSWER to helping the Economy!
Morons.
I am a Weed Smoker,state that I am a social user on my profile and live with a man who get's high with me.
What!
I can handle weed smokers over alcoholics any day of the week! | |

and if his home is raided by the authorities and you are arrested with im and your name is in the papers for all your parents, children, friends and relations to see as well would you feel the same way?
i think not. it's federally illegal.
Wow, does this actually happen in the States ????
Authorities raiding some guy smoking a dube in his home ?
Don't they have much bigger fish to fry ? | |

Unfortunately, it does. I have a couple of friends who were smoking at their kitchen table. The cops caught a glimpse of them through a screen door from the street. They were arrested and charged with possession. The case ended up getting dismissed. (I believe due to illegal search & seizure.) | |

Posted: 7/24/2012 12:37:45 PM | | I dont get high for moral reasons..but I sure did as a teen, Im probably the only one of my friends who dont..I dont care if they do, I have never had a friend act dumb if they do, never had a friend go onto to harder drugs because they smoke pot, never had a friend quit a job because they smoke pot, in fact never had a friend who had issues because they smoke pot. I dont see it as a bad thing too, lot worse out there.. | |

Yep. For a combination of reasons.
- Tobacco companies helped push out marijuana because it would hurt their business if it was legal
- The "War on Drugs" can be a huge profit maker on the local end, even if it's a huge waste of money on the Federal end
- There are a lot of dumb "moral police" in the country that are easy to rile up with emotional arguments
Our generation and the younger one are helping to legalize marijuana in the country (several states have already, medically - it's just hard to get done on the federal level); but it's still a stupid, slow process. | |

Posted: 7/24/2012 1:35:15 PM | For those crying out, "it's federally illegal..." I give you US Patent# 6630507.
The Federal Government has a PATENT on cannabis components as medicine. The "battle" we see before us is not a "moral" one, but rather, lining things up for only the select approved Wall Street corporations to produce said medicines. this is why states with state-approved medical programs are continually under attack and raided by the Federal government. (Get rid of the "competition.")
Do some further reading, and you will discover that the U.N. Single Convention Narcotics TREATY (important: NOT a LAW) is said to be in place to deal with criminal enterprise, NOT the individual user. It is simply the INTERPRETATION by our beloved government of said TREATY whereby they are serving no-knock warrants and saddling the taxpayer with this huge special interests waste that is the drug war. If people had any inkling of history (something not taught in the pathetic school system) they would see the "drug war" is nothing new and goes back many hundreds of years. Making anything illegal makes for a lucrative black market. Many wars have been waged (or funded by) the "war on drugs." We see news every day such as HSBC (2nd largest bank in the world, I believe) laundered over $341 BILLION for the cartels. (and is fined a paltry few million as a "fine." Oooh!) Wells Fargo, etc. have also done the same. But wait- the "bad guys" are the ones with the drugs. Yeah? What's your definition of a "bad guy?" A banker? A politician? Police? Arms manufacturers looking to make money? Pull your collective heads out of your asses if you are still championing the "drug war." It is unconstitutional in its entirety, dirty, corrupt, and most importantly, failed at all of its stated objectives.
Trade with China and the current drug war. Thanks, Nixon.
Almost invariably, I find those who still support this crusade have not done any of the requisite reading to be able to form an educated opinion. Anecdotal accounts of imperfect beings doing imperfect things are easy to come by, however. "Oh yeah, my buddy did XYZ..." | |

Posted: 7/28/2012 9:43:12 PM | | marijuana is not a drug it is an herb. I use it for problems with my hands and arms. you would never know if i was taking my medicine or not. Sometimes a heavier dose is needed for a muscle spasm. and that sure beats getting shitfaced and hung over from a pharmaceutical pill. SO YES I USE MARIJUANA ,, NO I DO NOT DO DRUGS. thank you. | |

Posted: 7/28/2012 10:29:42 PM | If someone wants to smoke pot once in a while for fun or daily for medicinal purposes, I don't really care.
It's not something I'd want in my home or in my life on a regular basis, though. | |

Posted: 7/29/2012 1:05:08 AM | I couldn't smoke pot if I wanted to because I'd lose my job--but I did when I was in University and I know lots of people my age who continue to do it. To me it's pretty clear that pot is no big deal at all, unless you want it to be. Sure, it's illegal. But come on people, think for yourselves. Just because some misinformed politicians declared it evil 100 years ago doesn't mean there is anything to it. If there was, there would be crystal clear, unambiguous scientific proof by now. The best that most vocal detractors can come up with is anecdotal bull$hit like "yeah, well, I knew this guy who smoked weed and he became stupid and he ate fritos all the time and he was obsessed with Pink Floyd and he stopped showering and blah blah blah". So, you knew a lazy ass bum. I know all kinds of lazy ass bums who have never touched a spliff in their lives.
Can pot be harmful? Of course it can. Should it be kept away from youngsters? Sure, which is one of the strongest arguments there is in favor of rethinking the laws. I know in my area, it's a lot easier for an underage kid to get pot than booze.
Too much of just about ANYTHING is bad. There are countless things that all kinds of people do for enjoyment that become harmful when done too much. Booze, gambling, fast food, video games, coffee, television, shopping, collecting/hoarding, and on and on.
Consider Oxycontin. Anybody who takes that drug regularly over a period of time is eventually going to find themselves in a hell-on-earth addiction scenario from which they will be lucky to ever return. I mean, Rush friggin' Limbaugh got hooked on it--the biggest right-wing anti-hippy imaginable.
On the other hand, there are people that smoke pot every day for decades and lead perfectly normal--sometimes highly successful--lives. All you high and mighty types have no idea how many people around you smoke pot without you ever realizing it; they just don't tell you because they don't care to be judged by you. You see the odd conspicuous burn out here and there with the 420 shirt saying "hey duuuuuude" and you assume that must be what pot does to everybody who touches it. Come on, admit it: you're not even trying to think critically about this--you want to believe such nonsense, therefore you do.
My point: it's the individual not the substance. Lazy bums with no motivation and people who live full, successful lives are going to be the way they are with or without pot. I can't believe how few people actually understand this. | |

Posted: 7/29/2012 2:00:26 PM | msg 1879,
so we are doing drugs? i dont recall a plant being a drug. i know that info is coming from the DEA wrong source to listen too. americans will always believe lies than actually looking up the info. i have looked it up and became unbrainwashed did my own research and i started smoking pot at age 24 and im 26 now. no, i dont do drugs. drugs are prescriptions man made pills that does more harm to the body than a plant will ever do.
i use plants for my overall health and beauty regimes i dont use man made beauty products like most people do anyway. why is this topic still going? do not date someone who smokes weed if thats a bother for you simple as that or find someone who shares the same values of weed like you do. why do ppl insist on dating someone who smokes weed yet ****es about how it bothers them?
ppl need to do their own research and not believe anything the DEA says about marijuana. a plant that has been on the planet for centuries and your calling it a drug, this country really has gotten so dumb in over 40 yrs and keeps getting dumber and dumber. | |

Posted: 7/29/2012 3:22:52 PM | To oldspice48, sorry for ranting but, have you ever heard of marinol its a DRUG that's fda approved and guess who it's prescribed to? aids and cancer patients. this drug is actually synthetic THC and its been approved for years, i don't understand why pot has such a bad stigma when doctors can already prescribe this, especially when its side effects are minimal compared to say alcohol which destroys the liver and brain and overdosing is completely possible, while for an overdose on pot it takes consuming several POUNDS, which is nigh on impossible. THC's anti-inflammatory properties even help protect the lungs from damage when inhaled and has many medical benefits to the body./rant

Also read earlier in this topic about using this to escape reality or change it one of the two, and that's not the reason at least for me it was not, it really can give you a whole new viewpoint on things, reading while stoned was one of the funner things I've done in my life. | |
