dude… “spiralling up a beatitude”…like you totally have to share what you have with the rest of the class…
in my experience, drugs er ba-yud, nKay? Mentioning in passing the effect of regular use of Marijuana is appropriate, even though this is just a poll, nKay?
Yeah, 3 or 4 times I guess?
It didn’t really take though.
Lots and lots.
Never tried it, although not for lack of opportunities. Nor is my lack of experimentation due in any measure to a concern about “losing control” or anything like that. Just never bothered in the past, and see no real compelling reason to start now.
Will also add, FWIW, that i’m a strong supporter of legalization, have absolutely no moral objection to marijuana, and think that those who keep it illegal have their heads up their collective asses.
Smoking also can harm the fetus.
also for the record, I do think marijuana should be legal. Religion clouds people’s judgment and it is legal, so why not de kanja?
What he said.
Hmmm lets see. I guess I would be a casual smoker with my numbers hitting about 8-10 times in the past 3 years. I hate cigarettes and I never even tried weed until after I stopped running track. I have never been drug tested at work, which is a little scary considering the fact that I am usually working with small children. I have not smoked in about 6 months but I am not really much of a drinker either.
Anyone else notice that Pole Vaulters love marijuana?
[checks statute of limitations] Ummm…a “friend” of mine…yeah, that’s it…used to deal grass back in the late 70’s. Usually just to keep himself in smokables.
Yuppers.
Mentioning in passing is one thing, but you’re on a soapbox. This thread is a simple poll. I’d appreciate it if everyone would help to keep it that way. Thanks.
Eleusis, you called?
Yes. Am I the only one here with a Med permit?
A handful of times in college. The last time was quite unpleasant and I haven’t been tempted since.
Why, yes; yes, I have.
Maybe four times throughout all of high school. I had a few friends who were known to shop up for school stoned, and sometimes choir concerts. In which they were singing. I couldn’t - and can’t - imagine trying to attend school high. So stupid. I would also never show up at a job stoned. They’re paying for me to be there and alert and focused, which is pretty much the AntiPot.
My body chemistry is a little bit fucked up. For one thing, I have tried cocaine in the past and it really didn’t do anything for me that a cup of coffee doesn’t. For another, marijuana has been known to drive me to get things done. At a wholly unspecified time in the past, I have smoked, chilled out for 15-20 minutes, and then thoroughly cleaned the entire downstairs INCLUDING scrubbing corners, polishing glass, *moving the oven and cleaning under it</i>…
I know several people who have been known to smoke who do well at their jobs and are as ambitious as anyone else - and I’m not talking about “maybe some day I can be MANAGER at my McDonald’s!” Also, I don’t really like the way drinking alcohol makes me feel. No matter how much or how little, I ALWAYS feel kind of run-down the next day. From everything I have seen and heard, marijuana never brings on a hangover.
Naturally this has all happened in the past.
yep
I agree with hamadryad --smoking pot regularly in HS never hurt my grades one bit. I was on honor roll junior and senior year-the 2 years I was the heaviest into pot. Pot never made me industrious, but it never got in the way of my achieving what I needed to. No money? No pot. It was simple. I can’t imagine going to work or school high–what is the point of that? Not my mindset in the least.
I don’t like the feeling of being drunk–I have gone from never having had a hangover to one glass of wine making me feel blech the next day. So, I tend not to drink at all anymore.
Pot never was a gateway to harder drugs for me, either. I was quite hyper in HS, I didn’t need coke. Speed-why? Ecstasy, AFAIK, didn’t exist. LSD–no way–I was too scared that I would have the Bad trip. Never even tempted to try it. Shrooms? I hate regular mushrooms, I wasn’t about to eat one for recreation!
Point is, there are many people, who like social drinkers, can take or leave pot. But is sure would be nice to have the option.
I think that Jack Webb as Sgt. Joe Friday sums it up nicely:
“With marijuana, the idea is to get so high that you don’t know who or what you are. There is no such thing as a quickie or one to be sociable. In pot-smoking circles if you’re not flying you’re a square. And “flying” means you don’t know who you are or what you’re doing. Son, no matter how you slice that, that’s dangerous.”
So, you’re all really just afraid of being a ‘square’ right?
I’m so square, I cut myself on the corners. Pot is not about being cool for me. I am not 17 years old. Did I try it as a teen to be “cool”? I can’t remember–that was probably A factor, but not THE factor.
IMO, Jack Webb could have stood a doobie or two. Or maybe a stiffer drink that the occasional beer with what’shisname. The character typifies the uptight, narrowminded prig. But, to each his own.
Anyway, I answered the poll question long since, sorry for the hijack.
I apologize if I was unclear, I was attempting irony.
Yes.
