I recently tried it for the first time whilst it’s still a no no here and was utterly and truly non-plussed. However, if given the opportunity in, say, Colorado, I too would scarf down a brownie or four. And as others have said decriminalization = good thing. Whether I’m interested or not.
Hell yeah. I smoked pot - a lot of pot - as a teenager, until it stopped being fun. Whether my brain chemistry changed or whatever, I don’t know but suddenly the the high became the awful, paranoid, depressing kind and I just stopped doing it. If I knew that I would be guaranteed a nice, light- hearted giggly high like back in the day, I would jump at the chance.
I’ve tried smoking, but it gives me a headache. I’ve had reasonably decent contact highs, though. So I answered “Other”, because I’d like to try edibles.
I moved from one state where it’s “legal” to another (WA to OR). I have no interest in trying it, but I have considered actually purchasing some, mostly as a souvenir of what I consider an important historical event. I’m guessing it would sit on a shelf, along with a note about the date any why it was there.
…but it’s been months now, and I haven’t actually done it, so probably not.
Interesting. I did not know that. But - and I speak under correction - I don’t believe there are anywhere near the number of studies on the effects of long-term marijuana smoking as there are on tobacco use. The abstract you linked to did note the presence of toxic gasses into marijuana smoke. It suggests that smoking weed isn’t as dangerous as smoking tobacco - so I was wrong to so imply - but I’m still going to say that smoking anything - tobacco, weed, corn silk - is unhealthy.
“No way” is a bit strong; I have nothing personally against it, and I know lots of regular users. I tried it myself “a time or two” but I enjoyed it for five minutes then spent two hours waiting to feel normal again, so I wouldn’t bother.
On the corrected position - I agree. It definitely can cause bronchitis and is contraindicated for people with asthma.
No way. Marijuana’s legality has little bearing on the fact that I haven’t tried it. I don’t like the smell of it, I don’t like the contact high I get from people when they’ve smoked it, and I don’t like how dumb some people (and I say some people) get after they’ve inhaled it.
TRY it?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I’d use some of my disposable income to get baked.
Assuming that I could do so without screwing up the monthly drug test I have to take to get my prescription of opiates. :mad: (So stupid; no one cares if I get drunk on the weekend, but have six tokes on a joint and suddenly there’s a problem. Thanks, DEA!)
If I were a pot virgin I might. However I know that I hate the smell, it does nothing positive for me and causes me some bad physical reactions. So theoretically yes but in a practical sense no.
You would be wrong
Legality has never been a deciding factor. I’ve never smoked pot and have no interest in trying it.
There have been some articles in the DC media about the irony of the locality striving to legalize marijuana while the gargantuan local employer still squarely forbids it to its employees. “Of all places…”
I would never smoke marijuana. I really, really don’t like smoking.
Given another way to toke, such as a hash brownie, I might. I don’t know. At my age, even moderate amounts of alcohol give me about all the buzz I want or need.
Not for six years now. I now live in Oregon and there is a pot store right around the corner. I tried the stuff back in the 70s, but didn’t like the effect it had on me. In the intervening 40 years, I came to realize that I have an addictive personality. It’s tough enough to limit my booze intake without adding something else to the mix.
I said Other. I have never smoked anything, and not sure I could bring myself to pull smoke into my lungs. I’m not totally against pot, until you let it rule your life. I wouldn’t mind knowing what the feeling of being high is like, but until I can get past the whole smoking part, not likely happening.
Nope. I’ve been offered it in the past and turned it down. I’ve got a hard enough job thinking I’m in some kind of control over my life, I’m not going to muddy the waters by bringing pot into the situation.
I smoked it in college. It was wonderful stuff, I highly recommend it, so long as you don’t do it to excess. But I quit after I left college because there was no easy access to pot. It wasn’t a big deal. If it were legal I’d happily smoke again. Good stuff, much better than liquor, which gives me headaches.
Nope - it’s not physically addictive. Technically, anything can be psychologically addictive.
While I’m curious about how it would feel to be high or baked or whatever the term is, I’m not curious enough to try it. On the couple of rare occasions when I tried regular cigarettes, I coughed constantly and my mouth tasted horrid for hours. No thanks.
I rarely even drink - being impaired in any way just doesn’t do much for me.
