Ruby Slippers Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'm an occasional toker, usually on the weekends in lieu of drinking, as MJ is a more fun party substance to me them alcohol. I haven't met a guy since high school who had a problem with it, and I date serious, professional men. Most of the men I have relationships with aren't tokers at all. I've noticed that men are less inclined to light or moderate use, more all or nothing with it. When I hang out with men who smoke, they often just keep it going, while I'm fine with a little puff or two for the night. 1
SawtoothMars Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Let's say moderately, so a few times a week. And no, she isn't the stereotype, she's just a regular girl who you would otherwise have no idea she smokes until she tells you. Thoughts? Probably not. Pot smokers don't tend to be very bright and I'm not attracted to stupidity in women. That said it wouldn't be a complete dealbreaker. I live in Seattle and we love our marijuana here. Also... I've never met a woman where you can't tell she smokes. That stuff smells horrific. We actually call pot smokers "Portland Skunks". Plus... they tend to be slower mentally, and have bloodshot eyes. It isn't physically addictive, but can be very habit forming.
unready Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I use concentrate... well I don't smoke it. I vape but it is not a downer nor does it slow me down mentally. It leaves no scent. Flower will not slow me down mentally either, in fact flower will give me anxiety so I don't smoke it. I think it is too hard to control how much you're getting when you're smoking flower and too much makes me anxious.
Haydn Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I do. And I too sometimes partake when she passes the 'Camberwell carrot' 1
katiegrl Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 no way, disgusting. and illegal. why would anyone put drugs into themselves, unless it's for medical reasons. that's the single valid exception. With respect to pot, same reason people drink alcohol...it's relaxing. Personally, I don't smoke pot (or anything else for that matter)..just answering your question. And in some states, it IS legal! And not just for medical reasons either... 1
fitnessfan365 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 If a woman doesn't toke up in front of me (huge turn off) and she only does it for recreational use on her own time, that's fine. I just have no desire to be around it,or date a pot head that wants to smoke a bowl every single day.

Mrin Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Pretty sure some of the antis here would look back at this thread in ten years and chuckle. MJ is going legal all over the world. By the way, I seldom if ever partake in it myself. I'm more of a bourbon type of guy. 1
edgygirl Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I don't like it myself as it doesn't relax me, the opposite - it makes me a little paranoid. I don't mind someone who smokes a little as long as it's not the whole day and it's not the main thing they do for recreation or around me. I also don't like the vibe people stay in when they have it... the "yeahhh... man..." vibe. * yawn * But I don't have anything against people who do drugs. Why do you care what other people think?
rester Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Let's say moderately, so a few times a week. And no, she isn't the stereotype, she's just a regular girl who you would otherwise have no idea she smokes until she tells you. Thoughts? Unless someone is smoking every single day I don't see how it's any more of a problem than someone that enjoys drinking a few glasses of wine on the weekends. I smoke it a few times a month, depending on the time of year. Winters I will hardly touch it because I only smoke it outdoors and I like to have my wits about me when I'm in the snow. Other seasons I will bring it into the mountains with me to enjoy out in nature. I live in a place where it's been legal (at least medically) for many many years. I've actually met very few people in the last 20 years that judge others negatively because of a little pot use. It's accepted here that it's less harmful than alcohol. It's also ridiculous to think that every pot smoker is lazy or brain-dead. I know a surgeon, a few teachers, a CFO of a large corporation, and many other successful people that smoke occasionally or even regularly. These people aren't idiots or slackers. I recently found out that Rick Steves is a marijuana supporter and has been on the board of NORML since 2003. That surprised the hell out of me. 4
Woggle Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 As long as she isn't always high. I toke once in a while though I do it less and less as I get older. No other drugs though and oddly enough smoking cigarettes is a dealbreaker for me.
Omei Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Its no secret I smoke pot. I have my life in order, job, place fully furnished and im a mom you wouldnt know I smoked pot unless I told you my own family doesnt even know and they've never been able to tell for years even when ive just smoked or they just simply dont care and my family can be strict and a little prude at times. Its never effected my dating life yet, but I often wonder if it would ever get me rejected and im really up front about it letting people know before they date me, I don't go after guys I let them come to me and they have always said it never bothers them. I dont smoke and do that whole "yeah cool man im super high right now" that and laugh at everything in sight. I smoke whenever I have my back or foot pain even a head ache it does wonders. I dont do any other drugs, I dont smoke cigarettes, I hardly even drink (maybe once a month if im out with a friend) Wouldn't ever make someone or expect a partner to smoke just because I do, I also live in Canada what ive gathered its a lot more acceptable here than it is in United States most people that I meet smoke or have at some point in time. I also wanna add it effects people differently there are some very motivated smokers and some people turn into total zombie mush even I dont find those people fun lol Im long term and not zombified (13 yrs) im very motivated actually I used to have depression I picked up smoking regularly and it went away before I didnt work for years and used to sit around all day sleeping and thats totally turned around its had a very positive effect on my mentality. green isnt for everyone some people dont have great effects they get paranoid or have weird side effects.

d0nnivain Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'm a woman but not I didn't date smokers of any kind -- marijuana or tobacco. It smells. It gets everywhere & I think it's gross. It's illegal where I am so that also adds to my reasons. I am not getting a record because I was in a car or house where somebody else had that stuff. If it were legal, I still wouldn't like the smell.
preraph Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Take it from an old hippie, a few times a week isn't "moderate." It's too much. Doing anything too much and making it a deciding factor in who you date, where you work, etc. is an addiction. Ideally, if you meet someone who, for example, rarely drinks or smokes pot, you should be able to just peel it back without it being a big deal. If you can't, you're addicted psychologically to it. Usually people who feel the need to kind of stay stoned on whatever are trying to anesthetize some old emotional pain so they don't have to think about it. 2

This could be true, I wouldnt say im masking pain but I def prefer the version of me after ive smoked as I said before I used to be a really depressed person by default ive always been a high stress person things can get me overwhelmed so fast and I can develop a snappy additude and I tend to think negatively id say im pretty dependant, I like how since usuage im fairly positive and light hearted/easy going with my problems and def not depressed but yes I agree with you because of the way I believe it helps me id say im dependant psychologically, not addicted i can go weeks without it but I wont quit it or turn away if its available. I so dont like how negative I can get Edited March 30, 2015 by Omei 2

You might be better off with some prescription antidepressants, depending on how pot affects you. But if it is from emotional pain, therapy to get it all aired out and dealt with is the best thing. The addicted stoners I've known had trouble getting to 7/Eleven and back or getting anything much done in a day and their whole day centered around getting high. I never could stand that, even when I got high. And not all pot makes you feel good either. Some of it brings you kind of down, so you have to be careful. And of course, there's the paranoia. 1
NopeNah Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 As long as it didn't affect their work life or alter their personality too much. Plus, it would save me $$ from buying my own! 1

I dont get paranoia its just never effected me that way maybe in my starter years but not anymore no matter what kind I smoke its probably because ive grown comfortable with myself while being high while others feel frightful what people may see, I actually increased smoking a lot more when I realized it was giving me better outcomes then my anti depressants they weren't working and at times made me more depressed something about weed snapped me into normal mode, I feel more normal and not down all the time like I said before it effects people different ways, ive met some very active fun smokers and there's the type you describe where they cant even get up to go to the store because their just so out of it, even I as a smoker do not enjoy smoking with people who end up that way they just never want to do anything.

It's illegal where I am so that also adds to my reasons. I am not getting a record because I was in a car or house where somebody else had that stuff. If it were legal, I still wouldn't like the smell. Agreed with all of this. Some of my friends smoke, and it's no big deal. I'm just not around when they do it because I don't like the smell and don't like being around it. But when it comes to living with someone, it's different. I wouldn't be okay with my husband smoking up. It could cause serious problems professionally for me further down the road. One of my former coworkers used to smoke a few times a week, and her clothes and stuff that she left in the locker room reeked. She got accused of showing up to work stoned more than once, and they had her submit to a piss test. Lost her job. My industry has zero tolerance for illegal drug use, even on off hours. For workers who need a license to practice, any drug-related conviction puts them in the running for a suspension or loss of license from the state board. Practice owners also stand to lose their DEA license, which for solo owners would mean a complete shutdown of the business. Not worth it.
Omei Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 One thing ive noticed about weed ive never been able to smell it in my clothing no ones ever mentioned it to me either only when ive had it on my person in my bag have people said something and ive never been able to smell it on friends clothing either just in the air while its being smoked or they have it with them im not so sure it gets imbedded in clothing, I smell mine all the time before going out with family and it always just smells like the soap I use not weed. Im gonna ask one of my non smoker friends if they smell it in my clothes even when I have none on my person. Im interested in their answer

I'd be thankful to have such a laid-back girl who enjoy some of the finer things in life even though they're not 100% socially acceptable. I'd also make sure she doesn't smoke all my shiat!

Some see it as a deal breaker and some don't. Asking LS folks won't really determine how a particular guy in your real life will feel about it. 1
Author Hopeful30 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 You might be better off with some prescription antidepressants, depending on how pot affects you. Prescription meds are the WORST. I would take bad weed over prescription meds any day. I'd be thankful to have such a laid-back girl who enjoy some of the finer things in life even though they're not 100% socially acceptable. I'd also make sure she doesn't smoke all my shiat! Lol!
