Am I The Only One Not Smoking Pot

[chipbennett]

There is not a day which goes by I am driving down the road the scent of skunk weed fills the truck, I am not kidding. I am actually a little surprised how many people are smoking while driving.

I am not slamming or judging people for smoking it, not at all. Anyway, just seems I am the only one not doing it or at least in the minority.

In my almost 45 years on this earth, the only thing I've ever smoked is tasty meat.

Not saying I wouldn't ever touch it, but at this point, might as well hold out until it's legal - especially since I work in an industry where it is really bad news to violate laws regarding controlled substances.

Yep. I see it all the time in GR and KZoo. Toke up then hit the road. The pot shops are a HUGE money maker. Some small villages have three or four of them.

Well, it's not for nothing that Portage is the city of trees...

I've been enjoying the 'legal" Delta 8 gummies you can buy at the CBD shops. I normally take one only at night. Get's me some of the best sleep I have had in years.

No pot here, either. Never have. Don't see the purpose.

Occasional drinker. More of a "bourbon by the bonfire" kind of thing. Hate feeling intoxicated.

I also don't see all that many folks "partaking" while out and about. Maybe I don't get out enough. Maybe I just don't notice. Maybe it just isn't an "edge of rural" thing. Dunno.

I don't see/smell it much myself. Occasionally smell it on someone in a store, or on a trail but that's about it.

No weed here. Watched my ex-wifes brother do nothing for 58 years except hit the pipe and live with his mother. Never held a job for long, always blamed someone else for everything that happened to him. I have no doubt some very successful people can handle it but there are definitely others who cannot and have wasted a life time being pie-eyed.

I would pretty much bet he would have been the same without the grass.

I’m thinking you guys haven’t SMELLED a skunk. What you smell driving past roadkill is not the true smell haha get sprayed by one it is almost like the roadkill smell + 10,000 cloves of rotten garlic in your eyes and nostrils

Never been sprayed, I know better than to try to pet the pretty stripped kitty. But if you notice in my comment I stated as long as it's not too strong.

I've been sprayed by a skunk before. Joke was on him though, I can't smell. Made me feel like I was covered in antifreeze though. Yuck. I've also never smoked and I drink so little it's almost nothing. Wish I could quit the dt mt dew though. I went to a wedding reception last fall and the bride and her friends were out in the field smoking some weed. eh. whatever. Not my wedding and they didn't bother me.

**** hippies, I don't smoke it.

that is all

At some point in the next decade, there will be an opening and increase in legitimate health care uses for weed and edibles. There's some now for various diseases, cancer, inflammation, and sleep benefits. Varies by state due to religion and politics but I'm all for helping sick people with the demonized natural product. For now Big Pharma and their political allies are still very happy, dominant in conjunction with medical industrialization and protocols.

As for smelling it, in my travels I don't believe I have. We don't typically venture into larger cities, so maybe that's why.

What if the "pandemic" was just a way of squeaking out one last big success before legalization at the federal level decimates big pharma?

Isn’t for me, but I don’t care if someone else does as long as it doesn’t effect me.

It effects everyone.....but that is another thread!

Moderation is the key, just like with alcohol. If you sit and drink all day, you end up the same way. Pot just doesn't have as harsh of a hangover (or none for some people), so it's easier to binge.

I quit the pot and the Liquor on my 17th birthday due to some things that happened at that pig roast party.

I first noticed my irritation at the smell of the weed while walking the Freemont Experience in DT Vegas. You couldn't escape the smell and I wished for the old days where a persons drinking allowed their good time while not offending my nose. Now the local E 10th St. Kroger smells of the skunk every night.

I credit the refined medical grade oil for saving my daughters live after being diagnosed with "The Terminator" brain cancer/glioblastoma. 5 years and counting. I will vouch for the medical benefit.

Hunting is my drug. Ding dongs and Diet Mt Dew are my vices.

Nothing like a deep breath of skunk stink smokey clothes in the line at McDs going for a Large coffee and a Sausage MeMuffin. Heaven, Yuck, gag, stay 6 ft away!

Never have. Don't have a problem with people doing it as long as they do it at home and aren't planning on driving just like with drinking.

^^^this^^^

Just never had the desire to try. It is still illegal (Federally) in all 50 states. Apparently Congress has not figured out how to tax it yet.

The neighbors smoke will drift over the fence regularly in the summer. Some social friends will smoke at gatherings but never awkward for smokers or teetotalers.

Wife subject to testing at work and has no interest in trying. I’m just old and set in my ways.

 

[HazelDell]

I’m not. Fwiw. Lol

Only tried the grass once, didn’t do anything, probably was 12 or 13.

People often look at me funny when I say I stopped drinking when I was 17. We hit it pretty hard, starting in 5th grade. Some sooner. Friend passed out hugging the toilet at a 5th grade birthday party, many were hung over.
Bad start.

My vice of Diet Coke could be worse, I suppose.
