Do you smoke pot?

[Dis]

I don't give a **** about any other drugs, I only want to know about pot.

For the purpose of this poll, I'll say if you smoked pot within the past few months and plan to do it again someday. So in my case (1997 was my last joint), I'll vote no.

Personally, I can't see why people do it. You don't see too many successful people do it (other than musicians, actors etc). It lowers ambition. And yes I have smoked before (last time was around 1997). And I have though about smoking again (just last year). But the simple fact is, drug tests are required for any job in my city. Even if you want to bag groceries you have to take a drug test.

No offense to you smokers. But it just seems like a loser drug. I prefer the smell over cigarrettes, but not by much. What does it accomplish really? Yeah getting high is nice and all, but I feel it's overrated.

and there will be no banana option or frog option. . It really scews the poll results.

But if you smoke pole, you can include those experiences in this thread if you are so inclined.

I don't smoke pot or anything else.

Invalid poll, of course

Marijuana makes you passive and stupid.

There's lots of hypocricy around this issue, it's a taboo, well in here it is.

We shouldn't care what people do on their own free time. If they want to smoke a joint, how does that issue belong to us in any way? Because the next thing they'll shoot heroin and kill little children? Please...

And to the argument that succesful people don't smoke, well, our perception is that they use cocaine instead. I bet pot too. It's not like they want to go 'hey I got a secret, wanna hear everyone??'

But no, I don't smoke pot. It makes me feel nausea. It's just not for me.

I voted yes even though I don't in protest at the invalidity of the poll

Depends on how often you smoke. I smoke on weekends sometimes. I used to smoke it everyday in my teens, and yes, it lowers ambition. You get like a pancake on a couch.

Spec.

Guess.

This poll is invalid

I was a lazy hedonist long before I started smoking, so I had no ambition to lose.

One of my friends is a hardcore smoker. He works 15 hour days as a video editor, making about $250k a year. Maybe he's an exception to the general rule, but he's certainly a successful hard-working stoner.

It depends if you use or abuse. Moderation like anything else.

[Wittlich]

Have I tried it? Yes.

Do I smoke it? (as on a regular or even semi-regular basis? No.

The few times that I've tried it in the past, I really couldn't get into it.

[Kontiki]

I know tons of people who smoke pot and make deep into the six figures. It's not like they spend 24-7 stoned, but on a weekly or monthly basis, yeah.

I personally have in the past numerous times, but haven't partaken in quite some time (probably over a year now). I'd be surprised if I didn't again at some point.
