Nope. I don't smoke weed, at least not anymore. I used to back in my early to mid-20s, but never on a regular basis.

No, I don't drink and don't smoke either drugs or tobacco and am generally a riot at parties too.
Ok I lied about the last thing.

I’ve never seen a party YET I can’t buzz kill!

I've never noticed a connection between pot and atheism, but I'm part of both groups. I was diagnosed and treated for brain cancer in January 06, the most aggressive and lethal form that comes with a median life expectancy of 16 months and a group of 2% that make it 5 years. I still battle seizures and depression, but have found pot to be the best health supplement I've ever experienced. I smoke daily and will until I die, expecting that won't happen for a very long time thanks to my decision to keep my endocannabinoid system running on high, pun intended. Every now and then I get intense headaches, but have determined that's the THC killing the promised recurrence.

Blimey, that's a tough place to be. All the best to you, fella.

@DaveMania Given what I've been through, I am thriving. Depression is the most thing to treat, and cannabis helps with that too, except only short term and requiring frequent re-dosing. I'm beyond taking care of myself. I do some public address announcing and golf in the low 80s, occasionally breaking into the 70s.

I used to smoke it years ago, tried to again and it's not the same for me! I am for legalizing it, I have seen it's benefits but on me, not good!

just the same as me

No, but I have asthma. It is legal here (WA) and I've been to a few weed stores. I sometimes take CBD for pain and inflamation. I very occasionally take CBD+THC for fun.

I'm shocked at the number of people who say that they have never tried it. I thought everyone at least tried it in high school or college.

I think I might at least try it once before I die, but I've been thinking that for about 20 years so probably not.

No. I don't smoke. In my opinion, breathing in any kind of smoke whether tobacco, weed, or whatever just seems stupid.

It’s just not smoke , even oxygen kills but it would take 80 years to do it.

No...I don't smoke or use any drugs. I don't even drink alcohol. I'm very interested in good health and proper nutrition.

I agree with you, proper nutrition and appropriate physical exercise are means to good health, unless you relate use of multiple herbs and supplements as proper nutrition. Pot is my singular herbal medicine. ? I once was on opiates, muscle relaxers, nerve pills, sleep aids and three blood pressure pills just to endure the pain from my back injury to maintain daily functions. The side effects were horrible. Now, pot, one blood pressure pill, ibuprofen and no horrible side effects.

I don't either. I don't have a problem with other people doing it, nor do I think any part of the drug war is productive, but I don't break that law myself because I just don't see the attraction of mind-altering substances.

My sentiments exactly.

No, I've never done any drugs up until recently when I started to drink alcohol occasionally. Never smoked anything. I have no problem with drugs. The majority of my friends use drugs. Most seem to use them sensibly and a few have had problems. I think we should make all/most drugs legal as it seems to reduce crime etc. dramatically in the countries which have done this.

The drug war is ridiculous yeah. That said, I think drugs are mostly just an empty pleasure for people who know they aren't doing enough to pursue their goals.

I don't smoke anything but ham.

I live in Colorado and voted to legalize it, but I don’t use it.

Cool, I would too.

Pot has never worked for me (maybe because I don't believe it will). I do not use it.

2

I don't either personally it's irritating for me to hang with most ppl who do because they get so low mellow but I have met some ppl hyper who definitely are more enjoyable to know as a pot smoker vs non high...lol

I am one more like dat...

Non smoker. Never smoked in my life.

Same!

No you are not I avoid being around the ptsd of marijuana toxic organic smoke. Pot heads esp the expensive potheads are nothing more than drug chauvinists. It is absurd that in SF they have made flavored tobacco products illegal yet you can smoke marijuana with impunity and annoy people with the toxic smoke that gives an experience similar to paranoid schizophrenia.. So rest assured a good 15 percent of the population is either allergic to marijuana or has a really bad reaction to it psychologically. The absolute worst drug experience I have ever had was under the influence of marijuana, it's toxic toxic toxic for some people esp if you are hypotensive or have severe anxiety or severe depression. Anyone with schizo affective disorder or the most common form of schizophrenia should avoid it like the plague.

I am a Vietnam combat vet and I use to smoke but like you are saying it makes me feel extremely bad since my early 20's , it is just not a good drug neither are cigarettes !! But pot did come in handy when I was on Chemo , used it in my tea really helped with the side effects of the chemo !!

I don't...I'm totally for legalization, but it makes me feel terrible.

Same

Nope. I don't either.

na theres bout 30 or so that don't, I quit few months ago. why anyone wanna go halfsies

Wow, I hope not.. never tried the stuff myself. Don’t quite understand the attraction to it, but to each their own. I do understand the importance of its use in medical applications.

The statement, "haven't tried it, don't understand the attraction to it".
Many people have written extensively on it's attraction, but, of course, until you have tried it yourself, you're not part of the conversation.

I don’t smoke anything because I run.

I don't smoke it, but I eat it sometimes. It helps my arthritic hip and shoulder. My son in law also makes a salve with it that helps to.

2

No you're not. I don't smoke anything. Yuk!!!!

I don't smoke anything. Unless I'm in the mood for a coughing fit, which is... Never. I have no problem with pot, however and I think it should be legal for anyone who wants it.

Nope. I don't think it's a defining atheist trait either. I hear Bert Russel was more into shrooms.

Nope
