If someone's handing round a joint, I might have a quick drag or two on it. Can't remember when I last did that, though. It must have been at least three years ago.

The last time I actually bought stuff was Amsterdam about a decade ago. Me and my ex got pretty wasted on White Widow. We ended up getting back to the hotel, going to bed, and waking up about 4 hours later, the level of 'stoned' we'd been hoping to achieve. Proper paranoid episode getting back to the room too, since the hotel had a strict 'no drugs' policy. This also meant we'd left 3 and a bit of the four joints that we've bought in the coffee shop. Someone must have been made up with that.

Now that they're clamping down on drug driving, I'm really not sure what I can get away with without risking losing my licence. It's easy with alcohol: I buy the one shot testers (that you need to drive in France) and do one of those the following morning if I'm in any doubt. I'm not aware of a similar self testing facility for cannabis, and I believe the stuff can stay in your system for up to a week.

Pot and acid almost made me some kind of non-atheist. The only way I could pull my way out of it was to learn science, math, and logic. Once I gained confidence in those things, I could look at the mind-altering experiences I'd had in the 60 and 70's as drug-induced visions I had experienced and not revelations from a higher plane.

I don't smoke period

I tried it once, but I didn't inhale it.....lol

Best part of drugs is no one has to use them - well, recreationally anyway.
Anyone telling you different probably wants you for a customer.

This question implies things that I don't much enjoy.

1

No, I seem to just get paranoid whenever I do. I like the idea of smoking weed, I just can’t

I think many scientific Atheists stop scrambling their dendrites and instead feed their neurons ginkgo and raspberry. ...rope is fine for a summer @ Woodstock 49 years ago but bad for any career piss tested .....proven bad upon Rhesus monkeys taught to smoke double blind tobacco & reefer. ...both got lung cancer but stoner primates lose memory and concentration

I haven’t in over 10 years. As you can see from the responses you’re not alone.

2

I highly doubt it....

Nope. I smoked it in college a long time ago but hadn’t had any in years until recently. It’s much stronger and, I found, unpleasant. It made me so nauseous and dizzy I couldn’t stand up for 30 minutes. That was one toke. Not for me.

Of all the Atheists I have met...and I am talking many over 67 years...I only knew three that smoke pot...and I didn't befriend them.

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!!

This sounds like a rhetorical question, but I would be interested in seeing the results of a poll.

There may be a positive correlation between having atheistic beliefs and smoking pot, but it is not a cause and effect.

I do not smoke pot.

3

No, there are at least two of us.

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

2

Nah. I don't either.

2

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.

2

No thanks

2

You are certainly not alone, but I get where you are coming from. I toked a few times in my late teens. The stuff gave me severe nausea to the point of puking. No thanks!

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.

No here. Tried it once in college. It made me feel paranoid. Never smoked it again. I don't put others down for doing it. I just don't think the "positives" outweigh the negatives.
