Am I the only atheist that doesn’t smoke pot?
No, you are not. I have to admit I once did, in the 70's. I also quit in the 70's, and never looked back, and was never sorry I quit. I'll never smoke dope again. Despite the medical community saying it can help with this or that. I can and will do without. I took a bad acid trip, my first and last... that cured me. July 4th, 1978, was the last time I even tried to smoke any, and that was only symbolic, as it was my birthday, and my 'official' quit date. I'd already quit by then though. I did a Bill Clinton: I didn't inhale.
I also do not partake. From what I understand, there are many different reasons why people do.
Since it seems that you don’t know many people who don’t partake, why do you think that people do?
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 !!
Haha... Nope. I've never done the stuff, except for one time, aged about 19, when I ate my way through an entire eighth of resin and had the worst friggin' night of my life and felt squiffy for a week.
That was a 'never again' moment. But I think the majority of people I've ever known would partake of pot fairly regularly... Easily 70% of 'em.
I find that it helps me focus on details while allowing me to keep the overall bigger picture on mind. That and it takes all the sharp edges off of life in general. Like when you're obsessing over a small mistake made during everyday life for hours afterward, it let's you move passed it and forgive yourself easier. I'm all for anything that makes me be kinder to myself.
I don't smoke anything anymore. Pot always just made me sleepy and gave me cottonmouth.
It “made you sleepy” because like most modern money driven westerners, you are likely sleep deprived!
Marijuana seeks to BALANCE the human mind and body!
Hydrate your body sufficiently!
I think pot stinks, it hurts your throat, it may give people a childish kick to be doing something illegal in most places, but when it comes to kick, you get a much better one from a 15 year old single malt scotch, and it tastes infinitely better ! (And you do not have to suck on someone else's saliva on the glass!)
I’ll match 3 drinks vs smoking all the MJ anyone can possibly consume in one setting, in a comparative contest of driving, or any other mind-body coordination skill, ANY day!
Nope, I seldom even drink.
No comparison...
That’s like responding to, “Do you play sports?” with, “I seldom even have sex!”...
@Ungod , if you can’t compare sports to sex, you’re doing one of them wrong!
If you think MJ is anything like DRINKING ALCOHOL (edited), you haven’t done either one right. Which seems to be YOUR story!
@Ungod MJ=weed. If you are just looking to argue, look somewhere else. I will block you. Have a nice day
