Marijuana: Would You Date a Smoker?
You can't deny it, but these days it seems like everyone uses marijuana. I do, mostly everyone I know does, even my parents do. To me, its no big deal. Marijuana has become part of my every day life and in no way or form does it bother me at all.
Obviously, people have conflicting view points to the use of Marijuana recreationally. Some people don't mind it and some people are dead set against Marijuana being in their presence.
Do you use Marijuana? Would you date someone who did? Why or Why not?

IDK, good question. But I question smokers in general. Why start?!
it's better than cigarettes, but it would still bother me.
Eh. My mother hates it, but then again, she hates smoke and unpleasant scents and such altogether. I wouldn't date a STONER, but sure; I'd date a smoker.
I know this post was put up just for the controversy and drawing in of responders... but... I can't / won't date a smoker. I have too many personal convictions about it -- since my grandfather died from cigarette-induced cancer. I don't see pot as any better - in fact I'd consider it probably worse. I understand addictions - I just don't understand the choice of this particular one.
I don't smoke weed. However, I dated someone who did. And it frustrated me because I was so against it, and he didn't understand that. He never smoked it around me, because I told him he could never, but it bothered me knowing he was doing that. So I'll never date someone who does again.
NO. That is one of the reasons I dumped my ex he was constantly lying to me about it and he was high most of the time. I knew him before he started smoking and he was better without it. In my opinion. I will never, ever f*cking go through that ever again. I can't express to you how much it broke my heart. But that's his thing now.
It's just not my cup of tea, that's all.
I would never date a non-smoker. I would rather slam my tits in a sliding glass door.
@Passionflwr86@xanga - Just throwing it out there that pot has never been linked to lung cancer. Also, it's kind of sad that you think that it's probably worse than smoking cigarettes, when it's natural versus cigarettes that have around 600 additives.
It honestly shocks me when people are against marijuana. It's so much better than drinking or smoking cigarettes.
I don't smoke weed. I honestly don't really understand the point, but I guess I wouldn't if I've never done it. I know people that do it because it helps them to relax and eat (because they have anxiety issues and they've had eating issues in the past), but if people do it to be cool or just so they can talk about it brag about it, then I think it's just kinda stupid.
When pot becomes a part of your lifestyle where you list it as being in the top five ways to describe yourself, then it's kinda lame.. I would rather not date someone that gets involved with that kinda stuff. But I honestly could care less if others want to do it (and it's not like I think someone's a bad person for doing it).
Plus, in my experience, the guys I've been with that have smoked have always done it because of depression and it's just made them more depressed and lazy. So I sorta see smoking weed as a red flag.
a habitual cig smoker and binge drinker bothers me more than a guy who smoke the hash once a week. i used to have a friend who go through a pack a day(cigs bought in taiwan b/c cheaper, when its the law there to have a pic of the harm its doing to a smoker's body posted on cig box)binge drinks until she pukes multiple times and eat the most unhealthy shit one can think of on a daily basis,still think its her place to judge that i smoke the plant once in a blue moon. im like honey if unnatural causes are not involved. you'll die sooner.
however i wouldnt date someone who smokes weed everyday because it relaxes you too much.and makes you unmotivated.
My fiance and I (and a few friends) occasionally light up, but it's the furthest thing from a daily habit.
Once every couple of months.
So I have no problem being with someone who smokes it. As another commenter said, a smoker isn't an issue. A stoner, however, is.
@Passionflwr86@xanga - the hash is not worse than a cig. otherwise it wouldnt be used for medicinal purposes.
but if you're for absolute sobriety i can understand that. but the hash does not cause lung cancer.
marijuana is also not as addictive as cig,alchohol and any other recreational drug. there are coke addicts,heroin addicts,cig addicts, marijuanna addictsi have never heard of
Marijuana is not a gateway drug. It is incredibly hard to become addicted to. It has healing qualities for people who are suffering from certain medical conditions. And, it could save our economy. By legalizing it, we could tax it and get more jobs for growers and distributors. Just saying.
But I don't see why it is such a big deal. Marijuana is less detrimental to your brain and body than alcohol and cigarettes. If you use a vaporizer (instead of papers or a bong), there are literally "bad" substances: no smoke (just vapor), it is pure THC, and there is no brain damage or liver damage as there is with other drugs. It is just a natural plant that grows in the ground! If it were legal and monitored just like alcohol, it would be totally normal.I'm not sure why people are against it. That's just me though. I know people who don't smoke but they are not against it: they just don't like the small or taste of it in their houses. Doesn't mean they don't want to be around me when I'm high.
I smoke with my boyfriend all the time. It's just something we can do together and I don't really do it with anybody else. And it makes my stomach stop hurting (I have severe IBS and would be eerscribed medical marijuana if it were legal in my state. instead, I have a prescription for Vicodin, which actually hinders my condition.)
I'm not against it. My boyfriend smokes. Sometimes I smoke with him. I used to smoke a lot but then I cut back on it. It bothers me more that he smokes cigarettes then weed .
Probably not. Not only is it illegal, but I wouldn't date a regular smoker - how different is it that he smokes drugs?
@Me - I am right there with you.
@andij777@xanga - Some are just sheltered and uneducated. Glad there's someone like me out there. =]
My boyfriend is a regular smoker, I would say at least once a day. When I first met him, it used to really bother me because I personally never touched the stuff. I tried for a few months to get him to quit, but it didn't take me too long to realize he wasn't in a big hurry to drop the the habit. That's about the time I understood that I either had to accept it or dump him. Seeing as his habit didn't really affect me or our relationship (unless I was making a big deal about it) I just accepted it.
He's now a senior engineering student and got straight As and one B+. He's a great boyfriend and a great guy and I really have no complaints. Some of his "stoner" friends though are a different story. Long story short, I wouldn't immediately say no to someone just because they smoke weed, but I would be a little bit wary. For some people it's not just recreation, it is a way of life and the deciding factor in their life. Those are the ones to watch out for.
I do not use it, expect on a very rare occasion, like chilling with others who do... and like 98% of my friends don't.
Hmm I used to be totally against my sig. other smoking... but now I think if I had one it wouldn't be that big of deal to me.
It's a lame drug, for those who can't afford better shit so I guess I dn't really care hahaha.
No
I suggest the following movies.. The Union: The Business Behind getting High and Super High Me.
I just want to throw it out there that it is possible to be a stoner and not be a failure at life. I smoke every day, am a double music performance major at a normal, four-year college, accompany 7 vocalists, and had a 3.89 gpa this past semester. I graduated high school with a 3.98 and I smoke just as much then. It's called this lovely thing called control. As long as they can put it off until they get their stuff done, it won't affect them. It's not like if you get high at night you'll be hungover for class/work/whatever the next day as you will with binge drinking, you're more in control of yourself when you're high, and it doesn't give you all the nasty diseases that cigarettes do. Granted I do that too...but I'm working on kicking that. So...just to get a success story in there. I felt like it was necessary.
I think it's better then smoking cigs, BUT, wince at this point it's illegal, I can't. I do believe it should be legalized, but it's not right now, so no.
I don't.
My boyfriend does.
I don't have a probably with weed, itself.
My boyfriend uses however kind of ticks me of, cause he acts like an ass hat.
He doesn't smoke very often though, so now I just ignore him when he's high.
it's hard to not date a smoker because so many people do it. i don't smoke and don't plan on starting to anytime soon but mostly all of my friends do. it doesn't really bother me unless the person NEEDS to smoke weed every day and it's all they talk about. i know it's not addictive but some people need to relax with how much they smoke.
@maniac_rose@xanga - lmao, I love it.
To answer the question:
I don't have a problem with weed, though I don't usually enjoy it personally. I did date a guy who smoked way too frequently to be a functional, responsive boyfriend when I needed him to be, though, so if things got to that extent, I'd take issue (again).
The bottom line: I'd not mind someone who smoked rarely and recreationally (I'd be a hypocrite to say no to as much), but the lifestyle smokers are the ones I'd avoid dating for me, personally. It limits job opportunities and -- for those moments -- brain functioning, and it's just not cute if you're not enjoying the buzz, too.
