I will be completely honest: I am nearing the status of habitual marijuana smoker.

Moving on...

I am amazed to see that there are people out there who will not date anyone who smokes weed, even though they enjoy to go out to the bar and drink themselves stupid.

What's the deal?
So, I can not smoke marijuana just every once in a while but you can go out and drink alcohol all night?
I don't see any logic in this.

I will not get into the health hazards of both substances (that is a subject I've already writen about).
But I will ask... why does it serve you justice to not allow someone who smokes marijuana (heavily or not)to ever date you or be your friend?

It almost seems that if you smoke marijuana, a lot of people think very low of you.
I can't see why. I've been smoking for 5 years.
My grades have always been good, I've always searched for more knowledge, I've tried my best at being a good person, and I am just trying to enojy life.
Marijuana has not affected me on a huge level.
Sure, my lungs may suck since it has been 5 years (no thanks to the cigarettes), but I am no less of an individual.

So, I ask you, why do people do this?

I think that the reason most people have more of a problem with people who smoke marijuana than they do people who drink alocohol is that marijuana is illegal.

pepole are so judgmental in this world. we are not to judge others.

That actually come to me after I posted this topic.

But there has to be another reason.

I won't date a pot smoker- because I don't do that.
I won't date a drunk either.
I will however date an occasional drinker.

cause the people that are judging you only on the bases of the marijuana are idiots!! most the people u ask why they dont like it cant give u even a good reason, or hasant even tried it them selfs but are quick to tell u all the "bad" side effects of it. drinking any alcohol does far more worse to your body and messes with the mind then any weed does. im a smoker that has ben smoking since the age of 15 now almost 27, and i have a good job and fantastic family, so the weed cant be ****ing me up to bad....

Is there a certain reason why you wouldn't date someone who smokes pot? If it's a personal answer, forgive me.

I don't want someone to just tell me they don't date them.
I am trying to find some reason in this.
Why do date someone who drinks and not someone who smokes?

thats why everyone is single, everyone is way too picky..

you are absolutely right.

Isn't it funny how people that do smoke call people that don't smoke idiots? Why is this? Are you not judging the people that don't smoke?
I myself will not date someone that smokes pot or drinks. Why? Because both are habit forming and I don't want it near me or my children. I don't drink and I don't smoke BUT one thing I do is pay my own bills so its my choice of who I will date and who I won't date!!

i smoke n most girls i meet smoke also so it hasnt been a problem 4me so far.
but i got a buddy whos new girlfriend made him stop smoking cuz she didnt like it n her dads a cop lol.

there is no reason only choices
see i dont do drugs and i dont drink so my choice would preferbly be for one the same
but its a choice one who think of many things r just excuses

I am not judging them, I am making simple observation based on relative experiences.
I appreciate that you gave a reason.
But if you do not smoke or drink, this topic of conversation is probably not for you since it isn't aimed at people who don't do either.

You know I used to smoke it when I was younger- I think its stupid.
I get high on life now- nothing else.
I do not want someone who does things- that I don't do. Plain and simple.
Plus I don't need to inhale smoke of any form what so ever with my lungs!
You may not think it harms you- but it does.
I will however NOT DIS those that do smoke pot-
cause it is your own personal choice.

Do you view marijuana, either usage or acquisition, a "victimless" crime?

For me personally, the single biggest reason I view marijuana usage and users as "lowly" is because of the inherent criminal industry supported by people who use it.

Alcohol, regardless of better/worse, more/less harmful, is still legal for those over the age of 21. Going to a bar and drinking all night is not illegal. Going to a bar and getting drunk to the point of, say, a BAC of 5.0, is still not violating any law. Furthermore, the likelihood that anyone had to die to produce, distribute or market the alcohol is nearly non-existant. (There are occasional corruption cases or other scandals, but they are rare)

Any marijuana usage, regardless of the extent of use, without a valid prescription and legally obtained marijuana, is violating laws and supporting criminal industry.

Period.

Furthermore, anyone who subscribes to the notion that marijuana is "harmless" or less destructive than alcohol, or even worse, that is doesn't affect them is merely deluding themselves.

No offense, but your profile states you are getting divorced (or are divorced). Perhaps that marijuana had some effect on that?

I understand that it is illegal. I understand the history of crime behind it. And I understand that weed is not as safe as people may say it is.

Since we understand that a lot of people do not date pot smokers BECAUSE it is illegal, we will move on.

I see "NEVER MARRIED".

go back and look.

Well i don't smoke maijuana but for the person said it's illegal.yes it is in alot of states .but it is also prescribed for people with pain (chronic that is)andglaucoma as well as a few other mnedical comnditions.So its regulated and controlled the same as other medications.In california as well as other various states you can go tpo a cafe and legallybuy and smoke it.Ttthier are many pros and cons to any drug including alcohol and ciggarettes.I do dissagree with the almost eventual smoker who started this thread in a few way,but won't get into them.I'd rather not get into a long moral and ethical as well as legality debate on the subject.TRhier are people guy that won't date those that drink,smoke are arent thier own color ,age or religion.The point being it is thier choice and thier life.So if some one doesn't want to date you because of your pot smoking,then your not compatible and move on.anyway just a opinion.
