Anyone want to 'fess up? Who smokes pot at least once a month?
Almost every day Sara, usually at night when I relax.
I’m about to pack a bowl right now.
You know, I was gonna post a crappy joke about frying pans, but I decided not to in order to preserve my reputation.
Anyway, I’m way too sober for my personality type.
Never had the opportunity to try some, and I probably won’t unless it becomes legal. I must admit, I am curious.
What’s it like being stoned?

I’ve wanted to for a long time, but I’ve sorta got a reputation with my friends as the guy who doesn’t, so I don’t really ever have a chance to try without it being this big groundbreaking moment for everyone there. My friend Jason and I are supposed to, and my friend Aaron was supposed to make me brownies for 4/20 but everyone ate them all before I got one… 
And I’ve got the ‘personality type’ as it were. People are always shocked to learn I’ve never indulged. I’d like to try acid at least once, but it’s the same dilemma. And, because of the SD threads on acid, I’m not afraid to try it, I’m just worried on how to make sure it really is LSD and not something else entirely.

I live in Amsterdam. And no, I don’t smoke at least once every month. Once or twice a year, tops. Now, when I was still in college, things were different. Back then, the answer would have been yes. But only marginally so: once or twice a month, I’d say.
I guess the fruit is more tempting when it’s forbidden, eh?
'Fraid not. Never even tried it, and yes I went to college.
I’m not against it, and I hung with the pothead crowd in HS. I frequently played middle man when people were buying and shit, but I never tried it. Part of the reason is I’d probably do it too often, I don’t have an addictive personality, but I like to party hard and was already a big enough slacker. Now it seems that the fact I’ve never done it is kinda a rare thing, so I guess I don’t do it, just to be able to still say that. Maybe one day when I’m old and rich I’ll start. 
I will say that I don’t think I’d get involved with a girl who smoked it alot. A few times a year is ok, but if its a weekend thing I’ll probably steer clear. I think I tend to associate pot smoking with the types of people I knew who did it, and thats generally a very bad description. The guys were burnouts and the girls usually hooked up with everyone they smoked with or got high from. I know its not fair, but when I hear someone I’m dating was smoking with a bunch of guys I stop trusting her, fearing the pot made her a bit too uninhibited w/out me. Just the little thoughts that get tangled in the cobwebs in my head.
I really ought to check out that Purity test thing, as I was considered so naive/pure/straight/whatever that my friend tried to make me take a hit of something that he claimed was pot, but when I called him on it (Hey–even I know it smells like “moldy hay”) he admitted it was TEA.
Jerk. Tried to show me up. I went around school saying that he gave me a sample hit of his stuff and it turned out to be tea. Told everyone not to buy from him, or smoke with him. Serves him right (Of course, given how “pure” I was considered, it’s doubtful my talk had much of an impact.)
I should point out that my “abstinence” has nothing to do with moral/ethical issues. I haven’t done a close study, but from what I know of pot, I’m not really sure that it’s any “worse” than alcohol (I do drink, but really only beer and wine and champagne–maybe a daquiri or margarita. NEVER the hard stuff. Oh, and I was in my mid 20s before I even drank more than one glass/can at a sitting)
I’ve also never smoked cigarettes.
Probably the reason why I was reluctant to try any of these was because I felt I had an “addictive personality”. Other than this damned board, it hasn’t surfaced, if it’s there.
Can someone post a link to that damned purity test?
It’s been 5 or 6 years since I even took a hit. Used to twist up a couple a night. Funny thing though…everynight I still go through the same routine, just without. The only thing I really miss is the recliner hovering about a foot off the floor.
Ditto here. I did see someone smoke a joint once, though.
Been known to smoke a spliff from time to time, myself.
When I was a kid (read: 12-14), I used to blaze up constantly. Nowadays, once or twice a year, tops.
I used to smoke pot once a day, every day, and I did that for 5 years. I quite a year ago, and I’ve only smoked it twice since last June.

Never tried it—just never had the slightest interest or temptation, and I dislike anything that has to do with smoking.
So when you hear people say, “oh, back in the '70s, ALL teenagers smoked pot!” you can say you know ONE who didn’t.
I did it in college but I grew out of it. And to junebeetle who asked what it is like, if you ever had laughing gas at the dentist, it is alot like that. And has Cecil ever addressed why you get hungry afterwards?
I tried it one time on my 24th birthday (OMG, I’m going to be 29 next month!) but I didn’t get it at all. I took 2 puffs, nothing happened, I was bored. Never tried it since. My boyfriend smokes a lot (both cigarettes and pot) and it actually is starting to annoy me. I haven’t figured out if it really bugs me because he’s 31 and a pothead, or if it is because my church preaches against it. I am not familiar enough with pot to know why my church preaches against it, except perhaps because it is illegal. color me confused.
The american press had an article a few weeks ago that stated abot 5% of the US population smokes pot at least one a week, and about 20% have tried it.

Unless 4 of that 5% live in Southern California, I think that number is wrong.
Used to twist up every few weeks. Unfortunately, since moving to DC I haven’t found a good enough source to keep me stocked Many I miss NYC!
Never tried it, though most of my friends smoke regularly. It doesn’t bother me in concept but I just don’t care for the idea of inhaling smoke.
I’ve tried other drugs, mostly out of curiosity. Haven’t done any of them twice (other than alcohol).
