A lot of young pot smokers think old people don’t smoke pot because either, they can’t find it, aren’t trying to find it, view it as not worth the risk, or they just don’t have time with all their responsibilities. She was offering a way for an old person to get high without having to meet a dealer and buy a bag. She would get a kick out of the novelty of it all and a bit of fun for little cost.
If your wife had said yes, the girl would either have asked to buy some or tried to sell your wife some. I’m leaning towards the selling side.
Being neighborly?
Used to be a thing.
Yeah, that would have been buy/sell talk when I was at college. If you were all at a party together, it could possibly be an invite to spark up together or share. As in, ‘Imma head outside for a bit- you partake?’
Typical stoner mentality. Because they run around baked all the time, they think everyone else does, too. Can’t contemplate a world where people have different interests.
No, we don’t all “partake”. I don’t have anyone in my social circle that does. And if you think that makes me boring and uncool, well, I think the same about you.
You’re clueless as to what my lifestyle is like, so don’t make assumptions.
Says the one that assumed “everyone does it.”
Well, you’re the one that said: “Pretty much everyone of a certain age now has smoked, or still does smoke pot.” I never meant to say that you specifically went around baked all day, but I did mean to say your statement still sounds exactly like stoner thinking, and still as incorrect. (more like 49% tried, and under 10% smoke regularly. That’s a long way from “pretty much everyone”.)
But I bet you “partake”, amirite?
What do I know? I’m just a boring, uncool square. Facts just get in the way of a good buzz.

Those weren’t my words. “Pretty much everyone of a certain age now has smoked, or still does smoke” is a far cry from “everyone does it.”
Four times in the last year. Pretty much my average.

Pretty much the same for me, once you change “year” to “day”.
For some reason I now have a “Don’t Bogart That Joint” earworm running through my brain. :smack:
Man, we’ve really got to hang-out more often ![]()
I’m now semi-retired, but for over 25 years I worked in an industry where I was subject to random drug testing. (Not only by my employers, but by clients as well.) I never knew when I would be asked to make a “donation.”
My problem was that it seemed like everyone around me would want to partake in my presence. I’d go to a simple dinner and get-together at an old friend’s home and everyone would whip out some herb after the meal. I’d have to excuse myself to go stand outside, which would naturally cause all present to stop smoking so I could come back inside. It made me feel like a leper. I would explain that I had no moral objections (I really don’t care), but they would insist. I just couldn’t take a chance on a significant contact high.
And these people were all older professionals…lawyers, educators, physicians, managers in state and federal agencies, etc.
Did she actually say “nvm” or are you just shortening it for brevity of post?
I’m thinking you might just be surprised about some in your social circle. Unless your circle is almost exclusively law enforcement of some type, or people who work for companies who randomly drug test. I haven’t “partaken” in many, many years, but have many friends who I know or strongly suspect “partake” on a regular or semi-regular basis. It really isn’t a big deal, and doesn’t mean they are “stoners”.

Just funnin’.
Late 80’s;
New Manager: “We should institute drug testing in this company!” :mad:
Old Manager: “No, we don’t want to have to fire half our staff.”
I made the same argument when some lawyer proposed drug testing as a condition of being a member of the Bar. My reply was we couldn’t afford to lose so many good judges.
