ladies please answer...Marijuana? whats so bad?
 

Alright,

so in the past I have encountered several women who got disgusted when they found out their SIG OTHER smoked a little reefer every once in a while. I am not saying all women dont like weed. obviously some on here like it...:D

however, there are many girls who just think it is the devil. after having a talk with a girl i am seeing about weed, i found out that she absolutely hates it. i asked her if she has ever tried it. she said, NO AND I NEVER WILL. ouch...gee way to be close minded!

then i was talking to a girl i USE to date last night and she told me she tried weed not once but twice after she started seeing me. and that she actually liked it...:cool: however, while we were seeing each other she said, NO NEVER!!!!

ok anyways, I have no idea why I am rambling on and on. but why do the majority of women hate marijuana so much? Would you rather have a chill boyfriend who smokes weed occassionally? Or a boyfriend who drinks occassionaly and becomes violenty drunk?

I would rather much date a pot smoker (or any variety of illegal-drug taker) than someone who CHEWS. Gross.

Some people have personal reasons for not trying it...it's not close mindedness, necessarily. A lot of people just don't want to smoke anything, be it pot or cigarettes. But they shouldn't freak out about it.

I just think you're hanging out w/ uptight people. I know people who smoke and people who don't, and as long as no one's trying to force their view on others no one really cares.

i could care less what some of my friends did smoke out once in a while, or when they were younger, etc.

But I have never actually smoked anything. I have seen people do crazy isht on pot. To save my sanity, I just kinda watch in amusement. But I know that if I ever were to, I would probably end up eating a whole carton of Ben and Jerry's and then have to explain to my doctor why my blood sugars peaked at 500.

I've had bfs that smoke... some more than others. It bothers me a little because they just got stupid after smoking. But I wouldn't call it grounds to breaking up... unless it was a daily thing.

I would rather be w/ someone who didn't have any sort of substance issues. Use of any substance in excess (or anything illegal) to me shows that someone has unresolved issues and is trying to conceal them. I've always felt that it shows weakness. And it DEFINITELY pisses me off when I confront them with evidence and they STILL lie. (This happened to me once.)

I think weed is fun once in a while. I'd be bothered if someone smoked all the time, but there's nothing wrong with partaking in substances now and then.

There's a big diff between smoking yourself stupid and having a few puffs at the end of the day - the latter's really no different than having a beer when you get home, except it isn't legal. No one's talking about putting up with someone who has a problem with overconsumption of any substance.

Heya Bobby. :) We've had discussions about it before, but here goes again.

Honestly, I *personally* don't want to smoke anything. It's just a personal choice. Do I care if others do? Nah. Not my business, and I'd be a hypocrite if I told people not to smoke weed, because I drink from time to time and that's not the healthiest thing either. WHat's the difference? Not much.

*Although*, I dated one idiot who smoked so much weed that he would do crazy shit, and that freaked me out. But I do know that's not the case all the time either. :)

In summary: I don't do it and don't plan to, but it's cool if others want to.

Heh, since we're talking about weed. I think some people are hilarious when they're high. There's these two guys that lived down the hall from me in the dorm...I don't even know their names, but everyone calls them the "Bueno Boys" because they're ALWAYS high, and when they're high, all they'll do is look at you and scream, "BUENOOOOOOOOOOO!". Funny stuff. :D Or they'll come knock on your door and say weird stuff, like one of them kept coming and asking me, "Look man, I've still got this Windex if you need it. I mean, anytime you want it. It's yours. Cause you're cool like that." And he went on and on about Windex.

Italics in above quote added by me....

And that in my opinion is the problem. Some folks have this weird thing about breaking the law.

Co-sign.

I don't think weed is bad.

But of course, you guys already knew that by now.

My boyfriend does it rarely, never really bugs me, as long as he's not paying for it I don't care :p I personally can't stand the stuff, I can't even walk in a room w/just a hint of it in the air. Massive headaches and I get all stinky *ick*

I don't mind being around weed (tho the smell....ick) but I'd rather my SO not smoke any. I'm the same way with cigs too. But I have NO problem with alcohol!! Maybe because alcohol is the only of the 3 that I've tried...

Weed doesn't really bother me - in fact, I'm definitely known to partake from time to time.

But, I have to agree with what others are saying - everything in moderation. If a guy was smoking every day for an extended period of time, I would see it as a problem (just as I would see excessive drinking as alcoholism). So, I don't think girls really have a problem with it in and of itself, but with the abuse of it.

I don't mind as long as it doesn't become an all-the-time thing.

It doesn't really bother me...unless it's a problem. No one wants someone that all they do is sit on their ass and smoke weed.

Yep yep.....agree 100 percent.

PUFF PUFF PASS BRO!

Listen. As my mother says, there's nothing wrong with a little recreational weed smoking. (Although she said if I ever tried it, she'd beat me senseless.) And I agree, for the most part.

However...yep, there's always a however...there is a BIG difference between smoking a little bit and being a total pothead. I do not like potheads. Not as boyfriends, anyway. A guy I briefly dated loved his weed, and I was cool with it at first...until he started blowing me off because he wanted to go get high instead. That's not cool. He always complained that he had no money and was too broke to take me out once in a while, but you'd better believe he came up with the money to buy marijuana. It doesn't sit well with me to think that a scrawny little plant is cuter, sexier, and more interesting than I am, so I had to get away from that. I hated the smell of weed, too.

I don't smoke anything and I wouldn't date anyone who did, either.

When I was younger (high school/early college), I dated guys who smoked pot. Would I now? I doubt it. I don't think it's the devil or anything and I don't hate people who do it, but now that I'm older, I prefer someone more responsible. I wouldn't put them in the same category as a raging, violent drunk, either. To me, that's two totally different things, but I wouldn't date either. Drinking every once in awhile and being able to handle your liquor is not a big deal.

I don't think marijuana is a terrible thing in and of itself, I just have a problem with the whole "it's illegal" thing.

If it was legal, I wouldn't care if I was with someone who smoked it. IMO liquor is much worse as far as ruining lives and causing harm.

i think it's all based on experience whether you consider it "bad" or not. i don't think it's something to get all crazy about....it's weed. whoopty-frick. i just don't see the hype.....been there, done that, not that fascinated with it.

but, no, i wouldn't date someone who did it. been there, done that, too.....and i just don't like being around high ppl b/c i never am. it's like being the sober one around all the drunks. bor-ing. if my friends do it, i don't care at all and i don't judge them. it's their thing if they wanna do it, and it's my thing if i choose to not be around it.

make sense?

no one ever said, would you date someone who smoked everyday (complete pothead). just someone who smoked on special occasions. you know, like on manic mondays...or

tipsy tuesdays...thirsty thursdays...sunday mass....freaky friday....and on wednesdays. ok JK hehe

Recreationally- NBD (no big deal).

5 times a day: after every meal and around bedtimes.....fuuuuuuck no.

I was sorta seeing someone in High School (yeah long ago) that smoked but everything evolved around getting high etc. really annoying. Since it was HS it was nothign serious anyway

I prefer if the guy didnt smoke. I dont mind once in a while but to me its just irresponsible because when you're high some act all stupid and its annoying. and if combined with alcohol i dont want to constantly play babysitter.

Now that Im thinking of the future etc. jobs require drug testing etc and to me its more like a HS thing/ college, but after that guys should just lay low on lighting up again. :)

I pretty much agree with this. But by "once in a while" I'm thinking more of a rare occasion than only on the weekends at parties or something, I'm not really comfortable with that. I think I have a bad perception of regular smokers because a lot of the people I know that smoke weed are really annoying about it..."this movie would be better if we were stoned...look at all this food, we should get blazed" like everything is about being high. I mean come on.

There is a lot of drug use in my field. Coke is probably the biggest thing but pot is nothing big. All of these guys are sons and daughters of the best and wealthiest families out there. There are also tons of drug tests - nobody gets busted because nobody is stupid.

Anyway drugs shouldn't be a crutch and shouldn't be an all the time thing. Also it beats drinking a ton of calories every time you pick up alcohol. If you can make sure it doesn't affect your work and daily life, it's fine. If a girl can't understand that, she can go suck dick somewhere else...who cares right?

--That way everyone is happy

I'd say there are always a select few that can handle their sh**!!! Even now in college i know people that smoke out a lot but theyre still in the honors program or get good grades etc.

I come from a family with substance abuse issues. I don't want to deal with that in a mate....plus stoners are a) always bored and all "heeeeey maaaaaaaaaan" and b) like ariesrising, I hate smoke, it does nasty things to me.

For those who don't approve of people smoking weed, be careful! You wouldn't want pot smokers posting threads all over GC saying that they're depressed because of this thread. :p

Dionysus...you are such a shit disturber :p

My boyfriend and I are smokers and we are NOT your typical smokers. Most people are completely surprised when they find out that we smoke. We live normal lives - we work 8+ hours a day, 5+ days a week - I have a college degree, we have nice cars, we rent an apartment (granted it's in the ghetto, but that's a entire different story...only had 48 hours to move and well let's just say we were very decieved by this place), and we function as normal everyday people. There's nothing different about me and my life than there is about my friends that don't smoke - which there are only a few. We're not big drinkers (anymore) so this has taken it's place.

So for me, I would prefer someone who smoked and/or was open minded to the fact that I do.

Rudey inadvertantly brought up a good point- doesn't it somewhat depend on your exposure to drugs in the first place? Coke, XTC, and weed were SO prevalent among high schoolers in my area... I don't even bat an eye when I see it anymore. And in hs, everyone, from the kids in band to the cheerleaders to the goths, everyone smoked pot.
Maybe that's why I know it's possible to use it recreationally w/out it destroying your life...and I also know what to look for in a person, if they have a personality that would lend itself to substance abuse.

to all the haters: dont mess up the rotation...if you know its being done somewhere and you have a problem with it...do NOT go there...i mean come on...youre going to be upset cause i'm high and i'm going to be upset cause i dont want you messin with my high.

my boyfriend did his fair share in high school. now he's a cop. go figure. he doesnt like that i do it. really really doesnt want me doing it. but doesnt spaz out about it.

i really hate the mandatory drug tests though. those kind of suck. especially when you just never know when its coming. then you dont have time to flush out the system. havent been caught yet. guess thats why i quit.

i've only smoked once or twice since april though. out of respect for my boyfriend and of course for the job. nobody wants to get rescued by a pothead and i dont want to have to go to a fire high. fire is dangerous enough.

but i MUST admit...sex while youre high...thats good stuff...actually...i'm being modest about it...its the BEST. NOTHING can explain that...

whats the old saying anyway? man made beer, god made weed...who do you trust? there aint nothin wrong with a little chiefin.

in my own little world. i like to call it "happy grass land" its a beautiful place also known as "perfectville"

weed grows like monkey grass, handcuffs are used for *ahem* purposes other than taking you to jail, the people are sexy, and no one is judged because of their decision to watch pink elephants flying over the moon...

i also own a bed and breakfast here in this wonderful town i am proud to govern. i promise that every room will be filled with beautiful blue smoke with beautiful people overlooking a beautiful garden in loving memory of "mary jane" and her followers.

you can eat at any kind of restaurant here. dont be alarmed if they all serve the same thing and are only open 7 days a week and only 24 hours a day. the chef is always high but it doesnt take that much to throw together some doritos, a chocolate milk, and ketchup.

dont worry. we have a doctor. we call him chief and he really only knows herbal medicine. never fear...he has his P.H.D. (Pot Head Degree)

thanks for visiting, hope you'll come again...

OH i forgot to brag about our brownies. they are truly heaven on earth...i gotta go get some chocolate now...

I've heard that smoking pot has damaging effects on men's sperm count...? Anyone else heard this? If it's true, then I'd def. have a problem if my boyfriend smoked cuz it could mess up your future kiddies.

If that were true, a lot more people in our generation would be "messed up."

There's less seminal fluid, less sperk overall, many of the sperm swim faster with THC, and some of the problem sperm are allowed out. It's mainly know to affect borderline men.

Just a random question, but has anyone tried "Meigs Gold"? I asked this in a different thread, but was never answered.
