Am I the only atheist that doesn’t smoke pot?
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.
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 neither drink nor use drugs...i have never cared for the taste of beer or hard liquor, wine gives me migraines. Former hubby was into pot big-time, I never saw the appeal, have always fought weight problems, do not need the munchies, lol!
Been an atheist since my teens.
Nope, i don't. I used to five years ago but quit.
no, but only one of a few. I never have, but almost every circle I am in seems to be more smokers than not.
And isn't it fascinating how you are regarded as a greater aberration than a non believer is by God botherers?
I had a friend who came out under the big brother scheme and was sent for two years slavery on a farm in the Hunter Valley. He claimed that much of the banks of the river had acres growing wild.
@FrayedBear I have been fighting bushfires and rested in the shade of massive dope plants, local cops were fighting fires and standing under the same shade along with us. You are right re the aberration, I don't drink so don't mix after work, and don't smoke to don't get to mix at breaks at work. Either that or my body odour.
@Rugglesby Bugger me Blu and there I had an inkling that you were an escaped New Zealander and you're turning out to be an unwashed Pom emulator! ?????? Standing in the shade with you... probably their plantations!
I work at a police department so, it would be difficult if I did. I've actually only tried it twice in my life and that was in my thirties. I didn't really get anything out of it, so, never go into it. I'm fine with it being legal though. Within reason.
I smoke pot - but I did so long before I became a non-theist - in no way did it impact my decision to cast aside religion and I'm not implying that you are suggesting that. Having written that, I know a ton of non-theists that don't smoke or drink. Their worse vice is perhaps exercising to excess - a couple are going to have knee or hip surgeries - aside from that - most of the non-theists I know are pretty tame or lame depending on your perspective .
No, I don't smoke, other than having tried it a time or two way back when. Have nothing against it (though I believe it is not healthy for people who are at ages where their brains are developing).
And I don't think use or nonuse of drugs has anything to do with belief systems.
Wow, I'm relieved. I thought everyone was talking about me. I considered SAYING I did smoke dope. I want to be cool.
