Who Here Smokes Marijuana on a Regular Basis?
I don't, but I'm just wondering.

1. I would if I wasn't afraid of getting arrested
And, if I could actually get any.

8. I really miss the days when
the anxiety didn't dim the buzz. It's such a loss.

9. Seriously... and the irony?
I live in a house now, and could toke without worrying about neighbors.

6. I did until I had to rent myself cheap
to a large evil energy company that performs random drug tests. I've been there 6 months and I've been popped twice (the first time as a condition for employment).

I'd leave, but circumstances prevent me from doing so. I still get a whiff of it when the s.o. lights up, though. I miss it.

7. I do. Generally Friday nights to wind down. But then, I don't drink.
Drinking, other than as an accompaniment to a meal is not so fun for me. I much prefer the clear minded buzz of the green than the cloudy, dizzy, out of control feeling Alcohol gives me.

Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 12:26 PM by mainegreen
It's not like some of us never do that on this board. Plus having had smoked pot is not illegal (or not convictable). They gotta catch you with some or in the act. Some vague "Oh he said he did it a some point somewhere or other. We have no proof though".

Like the DEA doesn't have better things to do.

:rofl:

Microsoft, on the other hand. Now they *are* devious. They are watching us now.

16. You know I really don't care
about the dea or other leo's, I'm such a small fish it wouldn't be worth their time or trouble, but, yes every chance i get. If someone would come out and run on reversing the insane drug policy we have it just might get these apathetic fuckers out to go vote.
The number one reason I hear over and over they don't do anything for me so I don't vote if someone advocated getting rid of these archaic laws, it might be surprising how well they'de do.

22. misdemeanor.
Yeah...cause the police really care that this 52 year old hippie has a misdemeanor amount of pot in her house. I say it loud. I would say it to a cop. I SMOKE POT. It's not illegal to say it and it's barely illegal to smoke it, at least here in Texas. I have been caught with it on numerous occasions and all they did was dump it in the wind.

Just when I have some. Or someone I know does.
And I know a few people who always do.

What was the question again?

I enjoy it, though I think statistically I'm likely to get caught eventually.

Keeps me mellow and allows me to go to sleep w/out anxiety.

It's greatly improved the quality of my life.

21. I smoked as a teenager and in my early college years
but gave it up because it didn't cause anything positive to happen in my world. One can only laugh at inanity (is that a word?) for so long.

23. never laugh at inanity
I smoke all the time and I never laugh at inanity. I love my herb. It keeps my head from spinning off. It calms me down. It gives me a good attitude adjustment.
I'm 52 and have been smoking weed since I was 11.

28. Maybe you're not
...an un-medicated bipolar. I need my weed and my shrink concurs. In fact, I've never met a psychiatrist or a psychologist who didn't agree. It also doesn't make me "dopey". It just makes my head not feel like it is going to spin off by itself and fly around the room.

and chemical differences and needs. Sedative-type things don't agree with me. IMHO, relaxation is overrated....:+

40. I understand.
When my girlfriend smokes...we've been together for 15 years and she's probably smoked it 4 times...she speed talks for about five minutes and then just falls completely and deeply...asleep...<g> I find it odd.
In other words, you are right, it affects different people differently.

39. Not that I know of....
In high school I smoked a little of that midwestern leafy green stuff that was probably mixed with parsley. It was mild and was ok. 'Made me feel like a rebel...:smoke: and I was bored with nothing better to do anyway.

Then in the first year of college, I tried "real" weed: brown and resinous. I HATED it!

I don't judge other people's use of it, but it just doesn't agree with my chemistry or temperament. :shrug:

30. Daily up until 3 weeks ago.
I'm clean now.

I thought I would be more productive and happy when I gave it up. Unfortunately I'm pretty much the exact same lazy, good for nothing, uninspired, waste of space I was while I was smoking.

Guess the pot wasn't the problem.

35. Myth
The Anti-motivational syndrome thing is a RW myth. If you're the kind of lazy sucker who sits around with his feet up, watching re-runs of The Dukes of Hazard and eating BBQ potato chips, you will be whether you smoke weed or not.

No other recreational activity or drug, (alcohol), has this added burden of...."Doesn't make lazy people, not lazy." <g>

I say go buy some.

Based upon my history, I have a little bit once every five years or so. It just makes me too sleepy.

42. I do...pretty much daily
My husband has a prescription and since I'm listed as his "caretaker", I can also possess it legally. Since it's damn near impossible to get popped just for being under the influence, I'm safe. It's high quality stuff too. Gotta love California. :)

Found a doctor and got a "card". Now if the Feds would quit raiding the dispensaries...
CA voted 70-30% on Prop 215.

Have the good green like they do up here? I see you're from San Diego and when I lived in Southern California, it was very rare to come across some good quality stuff. I always got that brownish crap from Mexico.

51. Graduate of Humboldt State University here
so you can say I've indulged a little bit here and there, heh, heh. But I really don't smoke much anymore because I'm too busy. As much as I love the stuff and always will, I do find that when I have it, I tend to smoke it more than I really should, and it is not conducive to the many things I have going on in my life right now. But when things are more mellow? Spark it up baby!
