Since there is a thread for 420 friendly people, I decided to create one for those who don't like it to discuss.
I'm sensitive to smells and think weed smells disgusting.
Without knowing anything about it, I classify it with tobacco and alcohol. It's a socially accepted drug. Not for me. I don't like the smell of cigarettes and don't like how people change when they drink, so I stay away from them (both the doers and the drugs). But what's a drug and what's a treat is a bit subjective. Is caffeine a drug? I drink tea and soda. Is refined sugar a drug? I eat/drink plenty of that all over the place. How about non-chemical addictions? Do those count since they're affecting brain chemistry? As long as someone's choice of poison doesn't endanger others, I'm of a mind to let them have their freedom as I enjoy my own.
I find it very disgusting also, I would not want to cuddle with anyone that smokes anything and those electric stinking things that people suck on is really disgusting. I just can't understand it myself. I have been out in public many times and have smelled that odor on people. But, as the old saying goes, each to his own, just don't push it on me, LOL
When people become weed-heads, they become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned
EDIT: this was a Frank Ocean reference lol
I personally don't like feeling... idk "out of my own head". To each their own. I have a lot of friends who use it for back pain, nausea, anxiety and just for fun. Its just not my jam.
I don’t mind weed so much but cigars can be overwhelming or rich scents like cigars can turn my tummy
I don't like the smell of smoke. I'd rather get 'high' off the cuddling anyway. I don't mind a little bit of incense, though!
I know somebody who is allergic to pot smoke and has to avoid many concerts because of disrespectful people who smoke even though smoking it in public places is still not allowed. I don't care what anyone does in the privacy of their own home, but if they take it out in public where others have to smell it, that crosses the line to just being selfish.
I don't mind the smell. I can't stand the way it makes me feel. I just wanted it to end and feel normal again. Two hours felt like two days. It's horrible.
Suppose the cuddler uses edibles and doses just enough to take the edge off their anxiety? Just asking since what I've seen so far are people saying they hate the smell and don't like it when it changes a person's mental state for the worse…
@nurturingman I wouldn't mind that. If it helps someone good for them. I just can't stand the way it makes me feel and will never use it again.
Been there. And I won't dare say it was anything good. I did really like listening to music once I was buzzed. I don't miss that at all - music sounds just fine without. I've smoked cigs - don't miss that either. I never drank beer/wine/liquor. I have, but it was never a thing, and I don't drink at all now. Bought some vodka in Nov bc I thought I wanted to enjoy a martini. I mixed one up, but didn't take in more than a sip and dumped it out.
I prefer being fully engaged, and hitting on all cylinders. Mind hydrated with water, and my brain clean & clear as a sunny, deep blue sky kind of day. And I like hanging out with people who value and choose that as well.
I'm not going to criticize people who live differently.
Contrary to somewhat popular belief, I don't believe that weed kills brain cells. What it does do is make you fine with being bored. What I believe you should be doing is using your time to be learning a new skill. For me personally, absorbing new knowledge relaxes me more than getting high ever could.
Here are a couple websites that are my favorites:
http://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com http://www.curiositystream.com
They both have subscription fees, but Curiosity Stream is the cheaper of the two if you're on the tight budget.
Those who "those who don't like it to discuss" it, shall not discuss!
We should all try to smell good.:) Any little strong smell awakes my allergies... I don't support bad smells or strong smells but I love every soul, but it would be nice if people would more understanding.
Both my Ex’s are stoners, both of them are broke, neither of them can hold down a job, both of them are plagued with mental health issues, neither of them have any friends left, both of them treated me badly. Before they become stoners, they were nicer, had friends, treated me well and were overall better people.
@xandriarain - Yeah I chose to avoid all of that stuff with the exception of some alcohol in moderation(a beer with dinner). I prefer my life the way it is. I don't need weed to be happy.
@Mike403 my boyfriend is in recovery so I have given up alcohol and weed which wasn’t hard at all since I rarely consumed either.
“A thread for squares”. Lighten up Mike. In fact, light one up. You may feel a lot better lol
@BbwCuddleBuddy7 - I feel better by focusing on my college education and learning some other skills on the side. There is already a thread for people who partake in 420 which I was kind enough to leave and start my own.
@BbwCuddleBuddy7 I am too busy running my own business, being a workaholic, taking care of 10 animals and generally being a control freak, weed just cramps my style 😎
@BbwCuddleBuddy7 lighting one up does not make everyone feel better. In my case it makes me feel terrible. I can't stand the stuff.
@ryechips Would you classify that statement “ become sluggish, lazy, stupid and unconcerned” as profiling, judge mental and assumptive? You have no idea what you’re talking about. You may want to read up on medical cannabis use.....it works for a lot of issues.
@BbwCuddleBuddy7 too bad we are on opposite coasts....I wholeheartedly agree with you. I truly don’t understand why people feel the need to be so judgmental of others decisions..
@garymoore - If you don't agree with me, leave my thread. I'm not judging anyone who chooses to partake in it. I decided to create this thread to get those who wanted to voice their disgust off of the "pro 420" thread. Everyone has their own opinions, and mine is that I don't like marijuana and don't want to be near it.
@Mike403 Thanks for creating this thread. I often feel like an outsider when I see all the pro 420 people messaging about it. It is a breath of fresh air, excuse the pun, to see people with an another view. I’ve lived my life without mind altering drugs or alcohol, so I really enjoy finding other people like me.
I’m not judging how others live, it’s just my way of life.
@MrPaul - RIght? They call us judgmental, but I see a lot of judgmental people coming from the pro 420 crowd saying that we are negative and unhappy just because we choose not to partake.
Yes, and I see “squares” already used against anyone not pro-420.
@MrPaul and @Mike403 - and some can live in both worlds, being a fan and occasional user of 420, and also someone who chooses not to partake for years at a time. Calling someone "square" for a personal choice is... childish and ridiculous. I personally do not smoke - can't do it. But vaping and edibles have made a huge difference to me. I'll spare the health details.
I’m 39 and have never smoked weed or tried any other recreational drug...it just doesn’t interest me.
