Put me in the “Tried it, didn’t like it” category. H-E double hockey sticks, I’ve gotten higher off a phenargen pill.
I’ve been offered it a number of times but turned it down. But I’d be tempted to try it at least once, because I’ve heard of several reports that it helps with migraine pain. Anybody who has migraines will confirm that if it was suggested that snorting crushed human bones cured migraines, there would be people with pickaxes and shovels raiding graveyards all over the world…the pain is really that bad, and relief is really that hard to find.
That’s part of it for me, too.
I used to be part of a circle of friends where smoking was quite common. One by one, they’ve all moved away. The last of them moved to Pittsburgh 3 years ago. None of my new friends smoke.
(Although I find it hard to believe that none of my last GF’s friends smoke. In a group of leftist hippie musician types, there’s got to be at least one or two, right?)
Nah.
In the South, generally you get from two to four different “qualities” of weed, with corresponding prices.
Schwag, or ditch weed, or “cheap shit”, is about @25-30 for a quarter of an ounce.
“Mids”, as in middle-of-the-road, hum-drum weed, is about $40 for an eigth of an ounce.
“Nug” or “good weed”, runs anywhere from $50-60 for an eigth, depending on how close to the source you buy it. This is about the price paid in a California dispensary for equal quality weed last January.
The occasional “fire” weed, which is supposedly mega-potent (but to me not worth the price), is about $75 for an eigth.
I vote nope. Weed makes me sleepy and hungry. I’m usually sleepy and hungry anyways.
Street prices from around the world, for those interested.
Tried it twice, had bad physical reactions both times. I have no interest in ever doing it again.
Same here. I used to smoke a lot but not any more. I occasionally try again it when at parties or in the Netherlands, but it seldom ends well.
Not interested - a) I’m asthmatic, and pot is my worst trigger even as secondhand smoke; and b) I don’t like not being able to control my own mind.
I voted “Yes, I’ve tried it before in the past, and I’d do it again.” but realistically I don’t think I’d smoke any more than I do now…which is getting more rare as the years go by. I don’t even really drink anymore. The thrill is gone from all of it.
Not as smoke – and it may also cause headaches in me (I thought I was the only one.)
Smoking is right up there with shooting up amongst the reasons I have never tried many legal and illegal drugs.
The one and only reason I bowed to peer pressure and tried it when I was a teen was because my friend insisted it would get rid of my headache. Nope. It went from bad headache to full-blown migraine.
Aside from that reason, I wouldn’t start smoking it if it becomes legal. I’m generally just not interested, but the smell is a huge turn-off. Cigarette smoke is bad enough - who wants to walk around smelling like a skunk? I mean, people and animals run AWAY from skunks for that reason. It’s bad enough our new neighbors are potheads and we have to smell it in the hallway or it drifts in through the windows.
Flower Child of the Sixties here. Nostalgia, pushing from the rear, says, “Far out!” And common sense leading on says, “Say what?”
I’m with the others who have moved on, don’t need it, like to have control of my head.
Makes me a little sad. Most all of my friends who were into altering their consciousness have been permanently altered for a long time now.
Those who get pain relief, hopefully it will provide another option though it will have it’s side effects. Those who are still part of the ongoing social experiment may carry on. . .

I’m right there with Ludovic - I certainly wouldn’t indulge since it involves smoking.
Alternate delivery mechanisms such as brownies etc.? Possibly I wouldn’t even indulge then; I rarely even drink alcohol and even then, it’s even rarer for me to drink enough to even feel a slight buzz.
Of course, if I were required to use it (in non-smoked form) for medical reasons, I’d just have to suck it up and deal with the side effects. Oh darn.
Dutch here. Like most Dutch, I tried it in my youth and didn’t like it much. So while it is legal here, the time’s I’ve smoked pot since turning 18 can be counted on one hand.
Bricker, if I recall correctly, you are Catholic, verdad?
So my answer to your question: Is the Pope Catholic?
Nah. My very few experiments in high school and university indicated that all I do is fall asleep.
I’d rather drink.
Tried it once and found inhaling it fairly difficult since I’m not a smoker. I don’t remember feeling any different after. If it’s made legal I may try again just to see what the fuss is about and hopefully do it right, but I wouldn’t seek it out and I wouldn’t line up on the first day.
That would include me.
I don’t smoke now. I haven’t smoked in so long a period of time, I’m content to believe the statute of limitations has run on any possible admissions of guilt.
If it were legalized, I’d absolutely smoke again. Probably around the same frequency as I smoke cigars (about once every 2-3 weeks). But right now, as unlikely as it would be the I would get caught, the legal ramifications of being caught with an illegal substance makes it too large of a risk to contemplate.
