Pot smokers and drug-free people can't co-exist

They are like cats and dogs. You cannot get people who don't smoke weed to associate with those who do smoke it. And if it does happen, the non-smokers end up becoming potheads themselves. Why would anybody hang out with people who are essentially criminals that are destroying their health and their communities?

 

LMAO...There are no drug-free people.

 

And whose fault is that?

 

What a heap of (*)(*)(*)(*). I have friends who smoke pot. I have never smoked pot.

What will you claim next? That people who drink coffee and people who don't can't co exist?

 

I don't consider pot heads criminals just for smoking pot alone.

But when crimes are committed while under the influenced, then they do indeed become criminals.

If drinking beer and smoking cigarettes alone isn't a crime then neither should be pot, all things being considered equal and fair.

BUT, with that being said, I wouldn't want to hang around a pot head either. A few teachers I know can always tell what students smoke pot and which don't based on how they behave in class and how they do their work.

 

Of course I wouldn't. That's absurd.

 

Okay, I'm stumped. First, you say that pot smokers aren't criminals and that it's only fair to legalize weed if booze and cigs are legal. Then, you do a one-eighty and say you wouldn't hang around a pothead. So does that make you an introverted pothead or something?

 

No.

They are not contradictory things. I don't like potheads and will not associate with them.

You see, I believe in individual rights and choice. Even if they want to mess themselves up.

Doesn't mean I will support it though.

It is a form of bigotry and prejudice.

 

To put it bluntly, IMO pot smokers are weak minded fools wasting their money. And in the case of young people pot may be a gateway drug to much worse illegal drugs that may end up killing them.

 

Assuming the pot doesn't kill them first, which it certainly could, judging by how potent it's supposedly become in recent years.

 

So are pot smokers saying people who don't smoke weed are narrow-minded and ignorant.

 

I associate with both and do not smoke pot. No issues. One should ask if you do not get along with people is it the people or you?

Mark, I see you start threads about pot. You do not care for it and so be it but I need to ask what result do you expect to get on a forum?

I might add I have seen winners and losers with both groups of people so this tells me that pot is not the factor.

 

Are these "drug free people" alcohol free as well ? Cause you aren't drug free if you drink alcohol.

 

Yeah, if they don't drink to excess.

 

I'm sure they'll come eventually.

 

Do any of your pot-smoking associates pressure you into smoking it?

 

As I understand it the Canadians have been making this sort of thing work socially and cultural for quite some time now. But you do raise an interesting point in that I find it pretty much impossible as a non-drinker to associate in any lasting way with drinkers. It has nothing to do with aversion, however. It has to do with altered states of reality. I am always tuned into reality as it exists in a sober state of mind and so I cannot get into the mindset of people operating under the influence of even a light buzz brought about via beer, wine, or hard liquor. My thought processes, reflexes, and sense of social and cultural boundaries are just enough altered from theirs during such interactions that things feel . . . wrong.

So ditto for being sober and being around a pot smoker. I have absolutely no problem with people using pot. Good for them I say! But also I cannot associate with them in any lasting way because their influenced perspective is just enough different from my non-influenced perspective that thing seem . . . wrong.

But nonetheless none of the above precludes a civilized mix of pot smokers and alcohol users and the stone cold sober from living side by side in relative peace and harmony. It just means that your pool of friends will likely be different in nature from your pool of necessary daily associates. Or in other words . . . Kumbaya my Lord, kumbayah . . . (Shrug) Sure, why not?

 

I'm guessing the only way to come up with a thread this stupid is to smoke some really good weed.

 

Wrong. Unlike you, I don't use weed.

 

Sorry, Channe, but that's stretching the point. Once a week I'll have a glass of red wine with a pasta dinner. I'm not a drinker. No one has a single-hit on a joint because they love the taste and the aroma. They smoke dope to get stoned. No other reason. Drunks drink to get drunk, no other reason.

I can co-exist with people who smoke dope. I don't want to spend much time with someone who smokes morning, noon, and night because they're no better, and no worse, than drunks. But, I can co-exist with people who smoke a little dope.

But, I don't want to support someone whose life is dedicated to staying drunk or stoned. I really don't care if they survive another month or not.

 

As is every post you've ever made on this forum.

 

Suuuuure you don't, wink wink. You have a near obsession with posting about something you don't use. Riiiight.

You never post about anything but pot. Everyone here knows you use it, what other reason could there possibly be for almost every post you make being about it?

Time to own up.

 

Of course they're gonna be absurd to the very people that are being criticized in them.

The reason why I make so many anti-pot threads is that everyone has a battle to pick, and mine just happens to be drug abuse. Yours is probably sobriety.

 

Some would say the same about democrats.

Oh, so you just like those homophobes. You're afraid your going to turn into one so you act like its the worst thing in the world so nobody can guess your true feelings about it. Well it's not working. We all know what's really up. Go ahead and admit it, you'll feel better.
