Look. Here is the deal.
I don't drink and i don't smoke. I don't like guys that hang out in bars and I never like guys that smoke weed. I have a uncle that use to smoke weed until it was laced with Angel Dust. It's not cute to smoke anything. And it's not cute to drink yourself to near death. Your killing your brain cells either way.

It is more than simply illegal. It is also supporting a criminal industry.

I wasn't referring to your profile, infectious witch, I was referring to (I think) heather something or other.

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.bigsmile


I understand all of that.
Everyone has their own views.
AND that is what I want.
i want them to tell me, personally, why they do not want to.

I did not make this thread so I could hear people tell me that they do not drink or smoke, and they think both is bad.

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


I don't think it's judgemental to have criteria matching your tastes in a potential partner. It would be wrong to discount someone's personhood but I think is is O.K. to know and state what you want and don't want in your life.

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.

How can marijuana affect me physically?
The following are some of the common physical effects of marijuana:
Tremors (shaking)
Nausea
Headache
Coordination becoming worse
Breathing problems
Increased appetite
Reduced blood flow to the brain
Changes in the reproductive organs
Like tobacco, marijuana contains many chemicals that can hurt the lungs and cause cancer. One marijuana cigarette can cause more damage to the lungs than many tobacco cigarettes because marijuana has more tar in it and is usually smoked without filters.

as well as alcohol can impair judgement, affect your liver severly, cause nausea, vomiting, tremors.. oh and is as just habbit forming as any illegal street drug out there, as well as some over the counter drugs have the same effect on persons stability as alcohol or street drugs only difference is a doctor gave it to you, not to mention those that drink alcohol in mass consumption, sit at a bar then get behind the wheel of a car and drive . no reason to lay blame or shame to anyones usuage. its their choice how they lead their life. they can lay blame and shame on themselves with out the help of others. i am not trying to put anyone down here, i am speaking from personal experience, being a recovering addict myself. having the habbit is the easiest part kicking it is the hardest..

That is the thing.
I can smoke, and I can just stop.

It may be habitual but that is only because I always have marijuana on me, and i enjoy to smoke it.
If I run out, and I do, I am fine.
I can go week and even months without smoking, and then just pick it back up.
And I've been smoking for 6 years.

That is fine.
I am hoping for a bunch of random answers though.
I've been getting a lot of the same thing.

we are our own worst enemy in life, seeking approval from others, isnt always necessary. seek the approval from yourself.. if they dont like it they dont like it. It isn't always necessary to seek why. Sometimes it is what is, a reason for why someone feels the way feel isnt always needed.

So, since I smoke weed, I am a relaxed, intelligent, creative, and optimistic person?

Agreed.
I am not trying to find approval, though.
I have met an excellent girl, and things may be changing in the near future.
If anything, I am just trying to get some answers.
And, of course, everyone's thoughts.

nothing wrong with getting peoples opions and thoughts, but my suggestion would be to speak with her on it, because we are not the ones with you and the thought the matters most on the subject is the one that she gives you:wink:

People judge...it's human nature. I could care less what people do in their own lives. I smoke and get judged also, so your not alone in that. I just blow it off and move on. bigsmile

No, no, no!
She is fine with it. In fact, she smokes weed too.
I made this thread just to get some thoughts from people.
It is also something that I've been thinking about for quite some time.

no reason to lay blame or shame to anyones usuage
Except that the alcohol and prescription drugs you mentioned (assuming it is YOUR prescription) are not illegal and do not support the criminal enterprise...
