Ser Scot A Ellison Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 So, my siblings and I had a zoom discussion about my mom. She 74 and lives alone. None of us (I’m the oldest of 4 it’s me, my sister, and two brothers behind us) are closer than an hour and a half drive from her. During that discussion they started making jokes about smoking pot. I’ve never done that. I’ve never eaten pot brownies. I’ve never consumed any “illegal” drugs beyond alcohol before I reached legal age. They were very casual about it and all had tried it at some point. It felt really awkward. I don’t smoke and have no desire to ever “smoke” anything. I don’t particularly like being drunk but I enjoy the flavor of beer, scotch, and bourbon. I feel like the only person on the planet who has never used anything other than alcohol and has no desire to use anything other than alcohol. Is there anyone else, here, in that catagory? Please understand I’m not condemning anyone who does use substances that are currently illegal, I just wonder if anyone else is in my position.

Martell Spy Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I only did pot consumables after it was legal in this state, although still illegal at the federal level. It's not much different than beer. I only prefer beer because it's cheaper and pot tends to put me to sleep. There can be a real downside to denying yourself all drugs. (although a really upside to denying yourself the worst of them) People that are really uptight can really benefit from them. And you really have no clue at all unless you've tried at least something. I didn't realize this until I was prescribed something for a medical condition and the drug had a profound and permanent positive effect on me. I looked up the drug much later and learned that it happened to be a beta-blocker. Main reason not to do illegal drugs is cops can be real turkeys.

Spockydog Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I laugh hard at people who say things like 'I like beer and hard liquor but I don't do drugs'. Get real will you. Also, some of my finest, most enjoyable, most rewarding life experiences have taken place whilst completely off my chobblers. Also, beer, scotch, and bourbon are literally poison. Cannabis, however.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 You're not alone Scot, I have a bunch of cool straight edge friends. That being said, at any family gathering, I, my siblings and uncles and aunts regularly smoke weed in front of my wonderful grandmother, who pretends to be horrified. edit: also I wouldn't put weed in the same level as alcohol at all- alcohol can be used be responsibly, but ruins lives, relationships, and kills people at an order of magnitude beyond marijuana. edit: weed is super easy to use responsible and has killed less people than tylenol.

Darzin Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 It's all in who you know. I know plenty of people who have never done an illegal drug including a lot of fairly young people and plenty who have done some crazy shit. I honestly find it really odd that you wouldn't know someone who hasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, my own family members in that age group tend to back this up. My clan is lousy with vegans and teetotallers. They're all mad for the molly, though.

I mean I think it's like speeding it's illegal but enough peopl do it that socially we don't treat it like a crime. Especially with weed there is a lot of semi open use, at least in western countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iskaral Pust Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Zero illegal drugs for me too. I tried marijuana legally in Amsterdam when I was young. I didn’t notice enough effect above the beer buzz to see the point. Since it was the only time I’ve ever smoked, the strangest part of the experience was inhaling smoke into my lungs — that felt really weird. But I definitely plan to indulge in some conscious-altering chemicals once my brain has deteriorated in old age and the consequences are no longer to be feared.

Mlle. Zabzie Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 You aren't alone. I never have and I have no desire (even if legal). I kinda like me unaltered. Everyone else may feel differently, but part of me being me is frankly not giving a flying f*ck about what other people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why you didn't see the point. Though, consider yourself lucky you hadn't consumed enough beer to send you into a whitey the moment you tried the weed. That is legit one of the worst feelings in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But drinking loads, then smoking weed is a recipe for disaster. Speaking of which, have a butcher's at my luscious lady garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
