Am I the only atheist that doesn’t smoke pot?
The last time I tried it I was in my early 20's and I became paranoid! I can do paranoid well enough without enhancing it with weed!!
I don't and it's legal here in Washington. The last time was in 1986, maybe when I'm retired and need it for medicinal purposes
Nope, your not the only one. I did when I was a teenager, but that was mostly from peer pressure. I don't have anything against people wanting to smoke pot, I just don't care for it myself. It gives me the munchies and makes me not want to do anything.
Haven't smoked pot since I was a teenager; I really didn't like the way it made me feel.
I was living in Colorado when it was legalized, and saw no real change, outside of the influx of tax money and new businesses sprouting up everywhere. Have no qualms with it being legalized, myself - it's no more dangerous than alcohol.
The biggest thing for me, though? It's how pungent it smells now... it was never like that when I was a kid. When I was a kid, "skunk weed" was the crappy lawn clippings that only the local burnouts would try to push off and sell, and didn't even give you a decent buzz... now apparently it's all the rage.
Whatever they've done to it over the years, now everyone's walking around smelling like the business end of a skunk... and that smell lingers forever! It's on their clothes, hair, furniture, car, belongings... you go to restaurants and grocery stores, you can smell it floating past like Pepe Le Pew just waltzed in... it's everywhere.
It's a pretty nauseating smell, too... so if you happen to smoke weed? Chances are really good you're not being paranoid -- everyone does know you smoke weed, because you smell like a skunk's butt.
So a word of caution: if you live in a state where it's still illegal, you might as well be wearing a neon sign that says Bust Me! -- it's that pungent, and can be smelled from that far away.
Alcohol is dangerous. Pot is not...
Sorry -- for clarification, I meant "dangerous" insofar as a person functioning while under the influence of a substance (impaired judgement and motor reflexes, etc), not the substance's effect on the body.
I’d sure like to run into this weed that is sooo much more potent than it was “back in the day”... Cause I remember Alcapulco Gold, Thai Stick and WHACKY WEED! I have yet to run into ANYTHING that compared!!
The “danger” you speak of is NON-EXISTANT for weed... I have driven professionally in NYC as a cabbie, livery driver, and as an independent traveling musician as well as a USA regional wide driver in a touring music band. ALL while THOROUGHLY weed stoned and smoking more while doing it. NEVER had an accident or near miss. EVER! It gives me energy when I am sleepy and keeps me going when I am hungry and tired... I shared the driving responsibilities with other POTHEADS smoking pot while driving, However, I wouldn’t trust a person behind the wheel who has had more than even ONE drink of alcohol!
I used to, not any more. I won't pass up a puff if theres a spliff doing the rounds, but I don't buy it.
Can't smoke pot because of drug tests, can't drink because I'd never stop, and can't eat babies because I'm vegan. Can't do any of that Atheist stuff.
@PeppermintDreads Or a scrumptious mid-day BABY BURGER!
I don't smoke anything. Cigarettes or marijuana. I don't drink either.
