meerkat stew Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I'm a statistical anomaly! I like to think that my pot use is relatively healthy. I vaporize before I go running and use it to regulate my sleep schedule. How many actuaries does it take to light a joint? . . . . . . . . . . 4.58297, but 1.5289358 of them will die before it gets lit all the way. OK, weak, but I made it up on the spot.
USMCHokie Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Ummmm....it's only some pot. [insert standard argument about how alcohol is just as bad/worse than pot.] Seriously...if the woman of your dreams crossed your path you wouldn't make an exception just because she smokes a doobie now and then? Y'know folks...maybe OP has a point. Not just about the bitterness factor, but heck, does everyone think they are perfection with a cherry on top (not a knock on you USMCHokie, just a general observation). I can think of a LOT worse dealbreakers than smoking a doobie now and then. Holy Cr*p. On one of our very first dates, my now-wife over did it with the Scotch and ended up vomiting all over the both of us. I admit that struck me as a big red flag at the time, but there was never a repetition of that particular type of incident. You gotta bend man. You gotta know what the real deal breakers are. If someone is DEPENDENT on pot or any intoxicant that's a different story, but OP did not really state that. She just said it was an insecurity or weakness. I understand your viewpoint...and I personally have nothing against those who do it, but if I'm the one who has to put a Marine in jail because he was "smoking a doobie now and then," then what example would I be setting if I allowed it at home...? It IS a real dealbreaker for me...so no exceptions...and it's as much a personal choice as it's a personal choice for someone to use...and the girl wouldn't be the woman of my dreams if she was a user...but to each their own.

MrNate Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 No because you are too young for me and USDA is an employer, not an occupation. Let's keep it honest peeps. Lol, well I'm not too sure what I would call myself, but I think it's best termed 'Inspector'. I won't be there much longer though. But, yes, I am currently a federal employee within the USDA. Specifically the Animal/Plant Health Inspection Service division. Quite fun actually.

Feelin Frisky Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I'm a statistical anomaly! I like to think that my pot use is relatively healthy. I vaporize before I go running and use it to regulate my sleep schedule. I used to smoke a lot when I was younger. It seemed a panacea but you only live one reality--one of actually facing life on its own terms or one of imagining things through the wondrous but potentially worth-robbing cloud of smoke. I have nothing against it once or twice a year but I'm glad my illusions about it's frequent use have been snuffed out with time and abstinence. I now know what it's like to be able to summon sober consciousness rather than THC-driven grandiose mental impulse. Be careful Spooky, you only get to have one past (and it has everything to do with your future).

Be careful Spooky, you only get to have one past (and it has everything to do with your future). Yes it does. I smoke pot to alleviate stress, anxiety, insomnia, lack of motivation, allergies, stomachaches, heart ache.... In my world, the list for its uses is endless. I do appreciate your 2 cents though. Despite the benefits I get from smoking, I am HAPPIER when I abstain. But it's a balance between that and "keeping my s!ht together", which I appear to be better at when I allow myself to smoke before doing whatever it is I don't want to be doing.

Jason White Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I do not judge people on there height, weight or other, i judge people on how they treat me and others and what we have in common, with that said i do not now you and i always prefer to start as friends. I should also mention by observing how they treat others is a indication on where this relationship may go, as example, if they are bitter to others who they don't like then this will no doubt bring bad Karma back to the relationship, especially if it ends.

InceptorsRule Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I understand your viewpoint...and I personally have nothing against those who do it, ...except you won't date someone who does it; so that is "personal" since dating is a "personal" issue. but if I'm the one who has to put a Marine in jail because he was "smoking a doobie now and then," then what example would I be setting if I allowed it at home...? You wouldn't be setting any example because it's not a matter of you "allowing it at home." Spookie is not a Marine, if she was, that would be a different story. Also, you don't have to permit someone to smoke pot, or cigarettes, or anything else in your home, or in your presence. That's a personal choice of course. The issue is whether you would completely rule out someone as a dating partner because, in her personal life, she partakes of the weed now and again. Let me ask you something--if a Marine happens to be a gay man (or lesbian if a woman), but only indulges their sexual preference while on leave, or on their own time, is that any concern of yours? I wouldn't think so, even though the same behavior on duty/on the base/while deployed might well be a violation of the UCMJ. Let's say you meet someone you really like who's a civilian and like to occasionally smoke weed, but respects your objection to the practice and therefore never does so in your presence, and other than telling you in general that she does it from time to time, but not to excess, never exposes you to it. Why couldn't you date such a person? Or let me put it in more specific language: Is there any outright prohibition for a Marine, and specifically for you in whatever capacity you are serving, whereby the Marine Corp or the UCMJ prohibits you from dating a woman who may, from time to time but never in your presence, smoke pot? If not then why do you impose a restriction on your personal life that EVEN the marines don't require? Hmmm???????? It IS a real dealbreaker for me...so no exceptions...and it's as much a personal choice as it's a personal choice for someone to use...and the girl wouldn't be the woman of my dreams if she was a user...but to each their own. But you said you have nothing personal against someone using pot, above, you attributed your objection to your duties as a Marine. Now you're saying it's personal. O.K. now that we've gotten rid of the whole "I am a Marine!!!" excuse, what is the basis of your personal objection to dating someone who might use pot from time to time?

USMCHokie Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 ...except you won't date someone who does it; so that is "personal" since dating is a "personal" issue. Fair enough. Poor choice of words. I'll have to reword my statement then. I'll respect someone's choice to use in that I wouldn't report them to authorities if I witnessed or otherwise knew that they used. Would I think a little less of them? Yes. You wouldn't be setting any example because it's not a matter of you "allowing it at home." Spookie is not a Marine, if she was, that would be a different story. Also, you don't have to permit someone to smoke pot, or cigarettes, or anything else in your home, or in your presence. That's a personal choice of course. Then perhaps you don't understand the meaning of setting an example for those who look to you for leadership. And last time I checked, recreational marijuana use is still illegal in all states...so even if you ignored the Marine Corps aspect of it, you still have federal law... Let me ask you something--if a Marine happens to be a gay man (or lesbian if a woman), but only indulges their sexual preference while on leave, or on their own time, is that any concern of yours? I wouldn't think so, even though the same behavior on duty/on the base/while deployed might well be a violation of the UCMJ. This is a poor analogy. The US military is currently still rocking the "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which would make a service member's private sexual preferences no concern of mine, so long as they remained private. However, upon approval by the Senate and the President, the whole issue will be moot next year. Let's say you meet someone you really like who's a civilian and like to occasionally smoke weed, but respects your objection to the practice and therefore never does so in your presence, and other than telling you in general that she does it from time to time, but not to excess, never exposes you to it. Why couldn't you date such a person? Or let me put it in more specific language: Is there any outright prohibition for a Marine, and specifically for you in whatever capacity you are serving, whereby the Marine Corp or the UCMJ prohibits you from dating a woman who may, from time to time but never in your presence, smoke pot? Nope, there's no UCMJ provision that prohibits one from dating a user. If not then why do you impose a restriction on your personal life that EVEN the marines don't require? Hmmm???????? Because I don't see it as a restriction. For me, it's a positive filter that weeds out (hahah, I made a funny ) women I'd probably be better off not dating. I actually see it as doing myself a favor. But again, to each their own. O.K. now that we've gotten rid of the whole "I am a Marine!!!" excuse, what is the basis of your personal objection to dating someone who might use pot from time to time? I don't want to deal with the potential issues stemming from recreational drug use.
