I hate it - it stinks, its harmful in content (lungs etc) I hate talking to people who are obviously stoned and avoid them at all costs. They THINK they are managing and fooling all that they aren't stoned but anyone who has ever had a puff KNOWS.
People think they can DRIVE and they cant.
And....its illegal.
I hate it because it makes me feel sluggish and stupid. And makes my aging muscles ache--odd, right? Expensive red wines, on the other hand, are proof of God's love for us.

When I first started (freshman year of college) I loved it, and smoked it every day (still got a 3.9 gpa, btw), and continued smoking it throughout my sophomore year... midway through my sophomore year it started making me paranoid, nauseous and I just didn't get that same hyper, giggly, super creative high I used to- no matter which strain I smoked. I occasionally smoked... maybe once a week until about this march... where I quit completely. I started smoking again because I had insomnia and it worked to put me to sleep, and i smoked maybe 3-4 times since mid-june... but I just don't like it anymore.
Marijuana is medicine, and for some people it's compatible... others, not. It can get abused just like any other medicine and I wish people would use it responsibly.. lazy stoners drive me crazy.
so... i voted i smoke a couple times a year. maybe every other month I will smoke if it is the right place and time and i'm in the right state of mind.

yeah i know. *sigh* i've just noticed a lot of people have this picture in their mind of that "pot smokers" are like, and there are plenty of us who don't fit that stereotype.
that's why some of us here "i never pictured you as a pothead" often.
not there's anything wrong with potheads. :P just sayin. plenty of people who smoke weed are smart and responsible.

Totally! We were talking about that in the dining room tonight at my house over a post-Thai food bow/bong rip/hash pipe session... in our house we have TWO practicing lawyers, I'm a newspaper account executive, one webmaster of a major retail store/prominent local studio manager (she's getting her masters in museology this year), and one teacher. And yes, we are all stoners. But we're far more than that -- but it sure makes the banter amazing. :D

I don't think I can drive when I'm high.
in fact I treat it as if I'm drunk... I dont drive when I'm under either influence.
you'd be surprised at some of the people that smoke pot regularly.

me either. i KNOW i can't drive high. i start concentrating too much on what's going on in the car, on the side of the road, etc.

I won't drive high either. I think some people can but I'm not one of them. Did it once, didn't feel competent, won't do it again.
My friend that got me into it would smoke a bunch if she had a lot to do and then do all her studying and homework. Definitely can't do THAT either. Pot's definitely a sit on my ass and eat only activity ahaha.

I love weed. I wouldn't consider it part of my identity, but I sure do love me some cannabis. Theres nothing like lounging at the beach with a couple joints and a good book to read.
I do realise that if weed is smoked too often it can lead to laziness, but I say its fine in moderation.

Pot was made illegal in the first place for all the wrong reasons!
I think it was made illegal in the '20's because they thought black men were using it to seduce white women.
This statement is so outrageous, it has to be true. :-\

Now, reading thru the thread wont make me change my mind and add to that that yes, in fact it IS an opinion :o)
and I said 'people' think they can drive on it - I didnt say 'ALL' people.
and I am soooooooooooo glad there are those that ADMIT they are intoxicated on weed and cant drive, I applaud you for that and respect your candor.
And there is great truth to respectable folks holding great jobs/careers that smoke - but it still doesnt take away that they THINK that no one knows they're high cuz, yenno what - we know heh heh.
My bro is a chronic and holds an amazing international position and talks all over the world.....
I never implied otherwise, but is still impedes on reality.
anyway - I never held anything against anyone that is high I just cant relate. In fact I dont wanna, even.

eesh how scary! i've passed cops before and i thought i was going to have a heart attack. i'd rather someone else drive me so i can enjoy the scenery and good music.
and i do agree w/ LL that there's those stoners who think no one knows they're not lit. but i'd rather hang around a quiet stoner than a loud obnoxious drunk ANY DAY.

"tried it a few times, but am immune" isn't listed as an option.
Seriously, I used to win money from coworkers who didn't believe that I didn't get anyhting from it.
Just seems like a waste to me.

well, no one knows i'm high when i do anything "professional" because... i'm not high.
i don't smoke before classes, i've only smoked a few times at jobs, etc. i'm very rarely every high outside of a party/club situation.
and xmas shopping.
i refuse to go to the mall during xmas season unless i'm stoned.

it's not so much that it's "fun" as it is "far less irritating". like, the insanely frantic people running around and being rude become hilarious/amusing instead of making me want to crawl into a hole and hope the world explodes.
:P
it's fun too.
but, i make it a habit of having MOST of the items i want to buy written down in a list. i look at the stores in the mall online first so i know pretty much what i want to get everyone. that saves me from buying everyone fog machines, mini laser light shows, and cookies because i'm stoned.

Hahahaha! Stoned Christmas shopping! Sounds very entertaining. I usually have a few drinks when Christmas shopping. I'll stop at a restaurant near/in the mall have a couple of drinks then go shopping. So much more fun than trying to shop sober.
I'll have to try the stoned thing this year. I always worry about getting caught when smoking in public (in my car or whatever).

i worry about it too. i don't do it very often. usually just before a concert, movie or occasionally when going to a club/bar. depends on if the parking lots have those damned mounted officers or not. >_< (they're common around here in our club district).
far as xmas shopping goes, the malls are usually too busy for anyone to notice anything, just park kinda far away (like you have a choice) and keep an eye out.
