S/O UO: The Weed Poll

mmb248 · September 2013

I really didn't know a lot of people who smoked until I met DH, but now I think maybe I was just naive! Do you smoke? Often? Do you hide it or do people close to you know?

mmb248 · September 2013

@Joy2611 - I just snorted my coke zero up my nose laughing at the image of someone running through the library paranoid.

I once drank too much PJ at a party and while walking back to my dorm, I made my friend crawl with me on the sidewalk between the President's house and the administration building because as I told her, "The fuzz is always after me."

Weezy56 · September 2013

I've never been a big pot smoker, maybe once or twice a year if even that. DH smoked almost everyday in high school and early 20s but he won't touch it now because of work. We don't care if other people do it though. Last time I smoked was at my bachelorette party a couple summers ago, while drinking champagne out of the bottle in the hotel pool at 3 in the morning. Ah the memories...

tealowl · September 2013

The first time I smoked pot was ONLY because the crush of my fuggin' life was there and he helped me with the bong and we totally touched and oh my God it was amazing.

He also ended up being the first person I ever gave a beej too. Go Teal.

- Still, I've never been a 'pot head'. My mom was a 911 dispatcher and my Dad was a firefighter, I couldn't do shit wrong. I didn't even drink until I was almost 18.

Peedy · September 2013

Ahhh... I loved pot.. but got sober at 24 years old.. I'm 30 now.

EmeJay · September 2013

I used to be a big pot smoker. I stopped, because I was tired of being lazy and spending my time in front of the TV buzzed.

I will still do it once in a while in a social environnement.

duncs107 · September 2013

Like I said in UO, I smoke about twice a week. Usually on a Monday night and then Friday or Saturday night.

I would do it more often, but I'm a cheap ass and don't spend money on it.

*My college story* Where I went to college, it was a HUGE pot area. The second largest in the US. A walk around the campus and you'd see hundreds of people smoking ganja. One day at lunch we were sitting in the grass and a squirrel came up and took a joint from my friend.

Real life, that happened.

TravelingCouple · September 2013

I put never have never will bc I've never tried it. I wouldn't say I'd NEVER try it, it would just have to be with the right crowd and right circumstances. I'm not going to go out of my way to smoke it.

ETA: spelling iz hard.

I used to smoke regularly. I stopped because I got poor when I moved out of my parent's house. I'll take a hit once in a while, but in general I have no desire to smoke any more. I did have a brownie last year & that shit hit hard!

WolFox · September 2013

I chose seldom, even though I haven't smoked in years, but I didn't see the option that fit my use.... I've smoked more than a few times in my life, but never even close to regularly. It was never often enough to go and buy my own. It was all in high school and college and it always hurt my throat and dried out my eyes more than anything else. I admit that I may not have been smoking it "right". My use really slowed down when it irritated my throat so bad that I got a huge infection (larangitis, strep something...) and then the antibiotics made me throw up for two days. After that it was like every year or two. I haven't now since my junior year in college which was in 2008.

If it were legalized I think I would use it every once in a while. I have no drive to do it illegally, but it'd be something I'd revisit if legal. Maybe I'd make it into some stinky tea to relax every blue moon or so. I don't drink alcohol very much (not against it, I just don't think about it much...I binged A LOT in high school and got it out of my system early) so I'd probably use pot the same way, or even less.

mmb248 · September 2013

Okay, I told my college story, here's my "parents and weed" story: growing up we weren't allowed to have food/drink in the living room. My mom would always point to a funky stain on the carpet (brown marble shag for the win!) and tell me that I had spilled juice or something when I was 2, and since then, no one was allowed to have anything in the living room.

When I was 13, they finally got new carpet and I mentioned the stain to my dad, and said I was glad to get rid of the reminder of being a clumsy two year old. His reaction, "What are you talking about? That's where Dave spilled the bong water the year before you were born."

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? My mom blamed a bong water stain on her toddler?!? FTR - she also told my sister that the stain was her fault. I guess that was her way of making sure we didn't spill.

Philleigh · September 2013

I do it occasionally but used to do it a lot more. Honestly it's pretty rare now because I worry that it could hurt my ability to conceive. I've read stuff about that and at this point I need all of the help I can get.

I don't hide it from my SO but I don't do it in front of him either, he's pretty against it.

If I wasn't ttc I'd do it almost every day, but only after work. I really find it relaxing.

Did all of this occur on the same night? :-)

Nope! We became friends before Teenage Sexy Time happened. I see him every so often and we tease each other about it.

This. I just never had a desire to try it.

Edibles are a very different buzz than smoking!

I enjoy toking and use it recreationally. I have also used it to deal with pain or anxiety and especially for nausea (which I get random bouts of frequently). That shit is better than gravol or pepto any day. It is not a crutch by any means, but I would rather take a toke than pop a pill, just my personal preference.

tealowl · September 2013

See, my friend who smokes says it makes her the opposite of lazy. She likes to smoke on Saturdays, and she gets her whole house clean. It's bizarre.

Her house sparkles for cripes sake.

When I smoke, I get very energized, chatty, and have absolutely no filter. The first time I smoked in front of DH I cleaned his mom's kitchen until it was gleaming and lmao while telling him the most inappropriate things. Things like - you're hot, I like you, I think I wanna have your baby - but not really 'cause your family is fucked the fuck up and that's not a gene pool I want my kids wading in.

Occasionally, he brings that up. Like after our first RE visit when he said, "Seems like you want my DNA now."

One of my friends when we were studying architecture was like this. The models he made when he was high was nothing short of a miracle. They were so detailed and perfect...yet when he was sober, he couldn't draw a straight line for shit...

AppleGrapeMSTK · September 2013

I smoked to deal with the despression that came from a terrible break up. I bought it twice, but stopped using after that. I work in corrections, so it's not a risk I plan on taking right now, even though I liked it and I live in Colorado.

Not bizarre at all. I know people who smoke before they work out or before they do household chores. It enables them to focus on the task at hand and not get distracted by other things.

Yeah, I know people who do it in the morning before working. I believe the cool kids call this the "wake n' bake".

unclaimedpants · September 2013

I smoked very regularly in college. I became so damn focused after smoking- I wrote some of the best papers of my life high.

I haven't smoked in years because of my job. It's not worth the risk to me.

But if it were legalized where I live, game on.

Milagros315 · September 2013

I said SS because I did it every now and then in college (not on a regular basis), but it's been years since I smoked. It's not really a "never will again" thing for me, but I had really bad anxiety and smoking made it worse.

EmilyA724 · September 2013

I used to smoke a lot in high school. Pretty close to daily. But then I went to college, got arrested by undercover cops along with 50 other freshmen that week, and started drinking instead. I still smoked more in college than I do now but I definitely became much more of a drinker. Now for some reason I can't smoke it anymore. It just makes me feel sick and I hate it. However, if you have some hash or food with weed in it, I am all over that.

duncs107 · September 2013

@thekikimonster you're my kind of people

We had a friend in college that loved to clean when high. We used to invite her over after parties, pack her a bowl, and then leave her be while we went out for breakfast. It was the best arrangement in the world.

MaviFairy · September 2013

I am a big ganja fan philosophically, but I am a lightweight and get paranoid so I don't smoke anymore.

DH plays base in a reggae band, which is usually all I need to say about him on this subject.

Here is Louis CK on how weed is too strong these days:

themrsJRD · September 2013

Guess I need to go wade through the UO thread.

I have never smoked anything in my life, no cigarettes, hookah, or weed. I still have no desire to. I'm not opposed to it though & preach to people all the time that it should be legalized. Fat chance of that ever happening in Texas.

I was a stoner in high school. Major stoner. I had a friend in my social studies class who basically buddied me to make sure I didn't flunk. He gave me all his notes and slipped me the answer if the teacher called on me. I don't think I went to class sober a single time that year. We used to smoke in the school basement.... I don't regret it at all. I graduated with honours and was involved in a ton of different sports/clubs (drama, hockey, cheerleading, debate, student council, competitive surfing, soccer). It definitely didn't make me smarter, but I think it helped curb a lot of my shyness and social anxiety. Since high school I slowed down. I was maybe once a week in university and now, I definitely don't smoke a lot. Maybe twice a year- I don't enjoy it as much anymore- I don't hate it, but I think I just out grew it. What can I say, I live in BC. I've heard ours is some of the best

Perhaps the first bold statement had an effect on the second?

And yes, BC bud is world renowned - and I don't just mean as far as Ontario, I've done some traveling and have heard people in various places comment on the good quality shit from BC, haha.

lookame3639 · September 2013

Im a SS I smoked every now and then while with my crazy ex (ive posted a littke about him) I have not touched it once after we split and will never touch it again. Ex is the reason I never want pot legalized (examples being he smokes it regularly in front of my son-my son can demonstrait rolling a joint, blowing potsmoke in kids faces to "relax" them ect)

divinemsbee · September 2013

I smoked a fair amount in college. I never bought, though.

Since we're sharing college stories, I'll go:

Freshman year a friend on mine's parents had a ranch somewhere down in south Texas, so about 10 of us decided to go down and have a party weekend for pretty much no reason. So, Friday night we get there, drink some beer, have a bonfire and smoke a little. No biggie. Saturday, the idea was to go get brownie mix. Exactly none of us had used edibles before. So we rolled up in this tiny country grocery store, already stoned, with a joint behind a friend of mine's ear, and managed to not get arrested. We go back to the ranch, smoke some, and make brownies. We put an ounce into 8 brownies. So, we eat the brownies, and then, super bright idea, get in the friend's Jeep to try to find this haunted shack on the property. We then think the brownies aren't kicking in, so we smoke another joint.

Then, the brownies kick in. We are in the Jeep, and all of a sudden it's like Jurassic Park. We finally get back to the house we're staying it, and it is so miserable. Pretty much everyone goes to bed early. We get up the next morning and decide to go out for breakfast and don't seem to realize until we leave the breakfast place and don't recognize the car we came in, that we are still really fucking high. Of course, we have to drive back to school that evening. I don't think any of us actually came down until Tuesday morning.

lebradford · September 2013

@mavifairy That video was perfect! So hilarious....

Marcilene1 · September 2013

I'm not really a fan of the feeling that I get from it. A friend of my husband's always brings me some when he comes over instead of wine or flowers haha! He brought pot brownies over a few months ago and it was horrible. I was trying to sleep, but I could not stop laughing like crazy. Also, I had to go pee and I totally forgot how to get to the bathroom in my own home! I made it there eventually and I was so scared and it took me forever to get back to bed. I felt like shit for a good 24 hours after that. I won't be eating pot brownies ever again, but I may smoke a few times a year. Maybe. I prefer a wine spritzer because I'm an old lady from Queens

janda426 · September 2013

I voted SS because I only did it 3 or 4 times. But had to stop after I had anxiety attacks while smoking that caused my whole body to spasm and pass out on the floor of my H rental house in college. I tried it twice after that and it happened again. Apparently I'm one of the lucky few who just has an adverse reaction to it. My mom said she could never smoke it either bc of the same reason.

H used to be a huge stoner in college but now works for the government and to keep his secret access he gets random drug testing. I work in the hospital and also get tested, so those days are over for us

starsinger17 · September 2013

I would if it was legal. I wouldn't even know how to go about getting any.

DH and I got a contact high from being in the pit at a music festival surrounded by bongs and joints but we've never done any of it directly.

oneblessedmess · September 2013

I can honestly say I never have and I highly doubt I will ever be motivated to try it, but I'm a square so... xD

My last roommates before I got married did though. It was pretty funny being the only sober one with two grown women who were high as a kite while we watched reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

That sounds like an awesome time. I

KenziK · September 2013

I have only smoked pot once and most likely won't do it again since DH is a police officer. It happened one weekend freshman year of college. That song Caribou Lou was popular and we all decided we had to make the drink the song was about. Needless to say I drank a pitcher and a half of that stupid drink, DH and I got into a fight, I became angry and blacked out and DH took off so I went to go find him.

Ended up wandering into our stoner friends apartment to see if DH was there and they promised they would help me find them after they smoked. Next thing I know I've got two joints hanging out of my mouth and DH is standing in the door thinking I'm some sort of closet stoner or something. I was pretty ashamed of myself after that whole situation and hid from everyone for a few days lol

yurmom · September 2013

It doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried it from a joint, a bowl, a bong...nothing. I've had several people try to show me how to do, coach me through it...nothing...except it feels like knives ripping down my throat. So sads. Now I have had it in brownies and I could feel it, but I just felt tired.

@lovelym13 let's have a gtg and you make me some brownies!!

how about fruity pebble rice krispie edibles?!

yeah, I know....

pettycrocker · September 2013

I smoked loads of pot as a teen. I just grew out of it. I'm too serious now to get high, that's just asking to be paranoid for 6hrs while eating 900 oreos on the couch.
