Anti-420

Yes, I admit, I stole this idea from the 420 thread. The folks that were responding there are proponents of it and I didn’t want to harsh their mellow. Are there any cuddlers here who, like me, can’t stand the [stuff]?

Reported and reviewed. Changed a word. I hid the other 420 thread for reasons unrelated to this subject. [CharlieBear]

    I never smoked or inhaled or consumed any of that recreational stuff or whatever you wanna call it. and there are people who just refuse to believe me when I say that🤣🤣🤣. see, I know so little about it I probably can't even say it right.

    Well, I would not really say I cannot stand it. But I do not use, and prefer to not associate with it, or others actively using.

  • Will564Will564

    I don't use it myself, but I'm pretty indifferent about it. I don't have any problem with anyone else using it, as long as I don't have to smell it. Basically the same way I feel about cigarettes.

    I'm the same. I've never smoked anything in my life. I've hardly ever even had alcohol.

    I have never used it and what others do is their own business as long as they don't cuddle with me reeking of it.

    The smell of it that permeates and sticks to clothes, hair, etc makes me unwell.

    I'm not against people using it, but wish they wouldn't do so in our non-smoking apartment building.

    I've never felt compelled to partake in any drugs except alcohol, and unless you count caffeine, which many people do count. I'm a very light drinker.

    It's not so much that I'm against it or hate it , I just don't do it . I have many friends who get high and I'm around it myself from time to time .it doesn't bother me , and I am a proponent of nation wide legalization . I am an ex addict . I've been sober much longer than I was ever high . Ive done everything from huffing gas to smoking crack. For me it's simple. I have to be sober and I have to be extremely rigid about sobriety , an all or nothing way of living . Because if I have a drink I know it won't stop until Im drunk . And If I get high , regardless of what the substance is , I don't trust myself to abstain from climbing up the ladder chasing bigger highs . So for me , it's a hard no .

    I will say the people whose entire identity revolves around weed are pretty annoying though . Grown ass adults who can't stop talking about it and what not . Kinda odd to me .

    As long as it's not harming others I am good with whatever.

    Honestly if you don’t like it dont do it .

    I am extremely allergic to it. At best hives, at worst anaphylaxis. I carry 4 epi pens in my 'cuddle kit' now. I wish people would believe me when I say it is a serious thing.

    This. This was a close family member of mine, and it's the reason I take issue with pot. I watched their personality and brain cells deteriorate right in front of me, and it was devastating.

    Lungs are for aerobic respiration or exchange of gases o2 and co2 and assist in temperature regulation.  Lungs arent meant to digest the weird things we as a species chose to put into them. Vaping or ecigarretts today, some of these liquids are spiked with things like Viagra or the chemical Diacetyl which is also found in butter aka (Natural Flavorings) or other unknown substances. Diacetyl causes popcorn lung when inhaled.
    I prefer not to be enibriated at any time in my life. Other thing is it smells like a skunk.

    I agree with @pmvines and @SunsetSnuggles. I don't have a problem with it, but I don't like the smell from smoking it, just like I hate cigarettes. Until very recently I had only tried it once or twice, but I've been experimenting with edibles for both anxiety and sleep occassionally in the last year. I just have a big problem with people that have to be high every day, never have money to hang out because of it, and who just post 420 memes on FB all day, every day. There's way more to life than getting high.

    @PinkMallo I had a co-worker who used to smoke pot, so we didn't think much of it when we were at a party and he had a cigarette. Until he stopped breathing in the backseat and we had to do CPR on the 15 minute ride to meet the ambulance. Never knew someone could be allergic to cigarettes! After walking through a large colliseum stairwell last night and walking through a cloud, I can't imagine what your life is like. No wonder you have to carry so many pens!

    I don’t care for the smell, and I have never used it ever and have no plans to. But it doesn’t bother me if others use it, and I am absolutely in favor of legalizing it for recreational use. And I admit I find the science about the medicinal uses of cannabis fascinating.

    I used to rent a room in a house, and the guy next to me was a drug dealer and heavy 420 smoker. I'd fall asleep every night with heavy smoke in the upstairs floor. I was afraid of failing my drug test at a new job, but I realized you could be in a room w a heavy smoker for 2 hours and still pass a test.

    I have nothing agst smokers, but would prefer pple not smoke indoors if you cohabitate with them.

  • waynewvwaynewv

    I’m a none smoker of anything so I can’t stand the smell of it. I would not cuddle with anyone that smokes so much that they have it listed on their profile.
    Each to their own, as the old saying goes.

  • chocobunnychocobunny

    Agree with @waynewv

    Can't stand the smell of any kind of smoke and will not cuddle with anyone who smokes anything.

    Sprays and breath mints don't work. ^_^

  • WldlyThotlessWldlyThotless

    Yes, I’m all about people doing what they want to do, I just don’t want to cuddle someone who smells like skunk butt.

    And one of the first folks I met on this app was brilliant, a talented chef, and gorgeous to boot. But he was high all day, every day and it made him paranoid, unmotivated and depressed. When I asked him not to bring weed into my home around my children, I stopped hearing from him.

    A second cuddler I met here invited new to his home and blargh…That whole house was disgusting and reeked of reefer. His life consisted of doing the bare minimum at a low paying job (though brilliant) and then going home and getting high. I didn’t go back.

    I guess I just hate to see wasted potential and prefer to breathe clean air. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    @Vivianne - I don't want you to second-guess your boundaries, not in the slightest. However, perhaps the concept of "wasted potential" isn't helping anyone. Really, who is anyone to judge whether a person has sufficiently used their brainpower in their life? Especially when we have no idea what life experiences led them to wherever we observe them to be lacking.

    Maybe they got sick of authority figures commodifying their brilliance. It's been known to happen.

    @TxTom 100%!!!!! 😂

  • CuddlesofcuddleCuddlesofcuddle

    Most of my cuddlers have no idea I partake so reading this was comical. If you don't like it, simply carry on ✨️

    Jefferson, Monroe and Madison all smoked hashish. The Declaration of Independence was written by a stoner.

    Hi all, I hid the other 420 thread for a completely unrelated reason. Though I guess when it comes to my personal preference I would be posting in that other thread 😅

  • MorpheusMorpheus

    I think smoking anything is gross and I don’t like being around anyone who smokes regardless of what it is. I pass no judgment on anyone, it is legal in California where I live. I don’t care if you partake but I do not want to be around anyone who is smoking.

  • DaveFromSussexDaveFromSussex

    I hate the smell of weed, vapes, smokes, whatever. Revolting. No judgement to those who do any of these things, but the moment you blow smoke into my face, you're in for it.

  • MorpheusMorpheus

    @DaveFromSussex 👍

    I love @BoomerSpooner's contribution. Yes, some stoners waste their lives, but I know plenty of sober people who do, too. And conversely, I know stoners who are incredible entrepreneurs or just overall highly successful. It depends more on the person and their tendencies, background, mental health, etc to determine whether or not the person's 420 habits are going to take over their lives.

    Even though I do 420, I will agree that making it your ENTIRE identity is annoying, but that's with anything. I'm a witch, but it's not ALL I talk about. I enjoy 420 once a week to as little as once a month for stress relief, sleep, spiritual practices, or pain management - but it doesn't represent who I am. And yes, I agree, the smell can be intrusive and unpleasant... Which is why I just pop gummies. 😁 (Although the smell is comforting to me sometimes because I associate it with good memories.)
