It's all good! Weed is the best when it either comes to laughing at your own "creative" stupidity (as i call it) or s/o elses, having prolonged sexual tendencies, or simply taking a shower.

I've never cared for weed. It makes me stupid and silly, not attributes I need more of!

I've been around a number of heavy pot smokers and I can't say I've ever found any of them to be attractive people. For those with any psychological problems, it only seems to make them worse. Being around a regular pot smoker is like being around an alcoholic. What's the point?

Casual use doesn't seem to have the same effect and if someone smokes occasionally, it doesn't seem to have as big of an impact on their personality.

I have to say I don't agree. I'm a heavy smoker and being around me is nothing like being around an alcoholic. I think people that smoke weed can be fun to be around. We always come up with good ways to have fun.

Agreed. I love taking showers high... the way the water feels on your skin.... the steam. It just feels amazing. And your imagination and creativity takes flight and soars when you're high (no pun intended, hehe :biggrin1:)

Hmm.... this seems off to me, but you're definitely entitled to your own opinion. I don't see much of a use contradicting this post because you probably won't change your mind given what you wrote.

Thank you, Ganja. I completely agree with you. If you're not a bland and tasteless person, chances are... you can have some great fun with a stoner.

This is something else I wanted to show you... TK in extreme high mode.
God I love weed...

:biggrin1: you and I both, babe. I love weed.... and those pics you posted. Gold.

Cheers to all of you on this thread. We have something in common. I'd like to share my experience as a 56 year old stoner. I first tried pot in fall of 1970 when I was 19. I loved it right away - it's so much better than drinking. I've partied with herb just about every day of my adult life, yet I'm usually moderate the amount. 2 or 3 puffs usually does the trick. I'm a college graduate and an accountant in private industry. I'm fairly bright and have an exceptional memory. I'm in good health and very active athletically (running and cycling) and feel that I'm young for my age. I think that there are many things out there much worse than pot. All my friends are professional people and we get high after work instead of having cocktails. The classic propaganda that pot makes you stupid, lazy, and leads to harder drugs is a bunch of bull. The stoners that I've known who were losers would still be losers even if they didn't smoke. The weed didn't make them that way.


That was incredible. Thank you for that insight. Its really good to see an old- school stoner in the house to back us up. I'd smoke you out any day of the week. I appreciate the fact that you backed up the fact that you're successful in life regardless of the fact that you smoke. This is what people need to see.

Hey Hotrocker: I appreciate your reply. If our paths ever cross, I'd party with you for sure. I've had judgemental people give me crap all my life about "You're going to be a burnout when you get older if you smoke pot". Well, I'm older now and it didn't happen. I'm not saying that it won't happen to some, but the worst critics are the ones who either don't know about it first hand, or the ones that pot doesn't agree with their particular body chemistry. I used to drink in my 20s, 30s, and early 40s. I worked as a waiter while going to college. Working in the restaurant business makes people party with whatever they could get their hands on to drink. By the age of 45, I would only have a little bit of wine on rare occasions, but basically did not drink. 2 years ago, I found that I have high blood sugar and should avoid alcoholic drinks. No sweat! I don't really care about drinking anymore.

Another thing about success: it's a matter of how we define it. I'm not rich; I don't have a BMW; I don't have a giant house on the beach. Success to me is being happy with how I spend my time every day. I have a quaint apartment 3 blocks from the beach with a big garden, I have a job that I love, great friends, and good overall health with no physical limitations. My parents were old when they were my age; I don't feel much different than I did 30 years ago. I've been fanatical about what I eat since I was in my 20s - mostly healthy, home made, gourmet, vegetarian food. I think that to have your lifestyle in balance is the key. Moderate partying won't hurt anyone who has a healthy lifestyle - just my experience and opinion.

(note: I am high writing this)

Again, good insight. A certain phrase caught my eye that you also showed distate for: "You're going to be a burnout when you get older if you smoke pot." This I've heard on more than one occasion... and in different words. My father strongly dislikes my choice to smoke (and smoke OFTEN) and, as often as he can, chastises me for my "slacker" attitude towards weed and how "the best way to live is without that shit [marijuana]." I grow so weary of hearing people generalize pot smokers to be beach- bums, ragamuffins and slackers.

I also understand what you meant about success... Im remiss for not putting a note next to "success" in my previous post, I know how broad that term is, "success." In reality, I say one person would be "successful" if they looked back on their life and on their current person, as well, and concluded that they were truly happy. Isn't that success unto itself?

Perhaps a person is ignorant and foolhearty if they place an expectation upon a person's future level of success.

Just my thoughts...

The responses on this thread are a load of crock and a bunch of rationalizing for your favorite smoke. We all know weed is bad. Deal with it. >_>

ANYTHING you burn and inhale is bad.
Chill dude...
Eating too much is bad
Taking advil or tylenol is bad

Point being... we are all going to die at some point.. we all need a reason. Smoking cigarettes will kill you faster. Let us do what we want, we don't need to you rationalize our behavior. We are adults making adult decisions to do the herb.

Nobody was saying that it doesn't do any harm, just the pros outweigh the cons. It really isn't as bad as a lot of non smokers believe, who most likely have never smoked it.

Ok... everyone has a vice.... AND the frequenters of this thread currently don't give a flying fuck if you contradict us. We're but happy stoners, LIVE AND FUCKING LET LIVE.

haha, "we all know weed is bad." Thats a knee- slapper, alright. Listen... would weed really be as popular as it is if it werent already illegal and deterred against?


:bryce:

Oh, you sexy woman, you. Agreed.

Exactly. One thing is for sure...

Weed is a HELLUVA lot better for you than cigs. The title of this thread is falsely worded. It should be "One cannabis joint contains as much tar as 5 cigs." Does that necessarily mean that its 5 times as bad? No. There are far far far more carcinogens in cigs than there are joints.
