People that have never tried weed and say they never will.... erm... what's the problem with it for you? I mean I'll never try smack.... but what's wrong with testing out a bit of weed before you decide you don't like it? Genuine question.

Whats the problem with trying a little smack before you decide you don't like it?

I know you're just being facetious, but it's a far more dangerous substance that weed. I'll do most things once but smack is a bit too much.

Well, I've done both, and I still think that everyone has the right to decide what is "too dangerous" or "not for them" with or without sampling it first.

Are you implying that I've said otherwise?

That's 100% fair enough. You've got a good reason for not wanting to do it and I genuinely wanted to know it. Too scared doesn't come into it for me, it's not a concern of mine that I will come off that way, it's impossible if you know me.

Drunkards annoy me in a way that stoners don't. I but both drink and smoke and I'd much rather have a pint in the pub than a joint. I don't like the idea of drinking subtances that are potentially harmful to my heart, liver and kindeys. But I do.

It's basically the same thing but reversed, Subrosa. It's all good if you want to make your choices, but it's the sanctimoniousness of not smoking but being all holier than thou with it. I've been having a perfectly pleasant evening before, innocently passed a joint to someone whom I have seen drinking and smoking before and they said 'No I don't smoke weed, I think it's stupid." I asked if they'd ever tried it and they got all high and mighty on me; "I don't need to try drugs to know I don't need to take them, I'm not weak minded, blah blah blah"

Y'see?

Of course. Sanctimoniousness is irritating in general and I freely concede that it comes from both sides.

Also, I should point out that when I used the term "stoners" and "drunkards", I meant "people who are stoned" and "people who are drunk." Not people who habitually do either.

Implies that people who don't try it have a "problem with it"

Well... someone who does not want to ever smoke weed... must have a reason not to, surely? Whatever it is, there must be one. It could be anything from 'I don't like smoking' to 'I am allergic...'

Erm.. yeah agreed. Choices are down to individuals. I just get the hump when people insult my intelligence with they way in which they carry their own judgements.

I smoked hash from the time I were about 16 up until a few years ago. Then I read some stuff in a magazine that was doing a whole canabis special. After reading it I switched immediately to weed. The amount of crap thats put in resin is unreal

It's fair to say that I'm a stoner and most of my friends are too, but not in a "let's get fucked up 24/7" kinda way. In general I've found that stoners are easy to get along with, less hassle and more laid back than, say, drinkers, though I'd forgive anyone else for thinking the opposite.

Also, I know it's an old argument but I'd say that alcohol is a far more dangerous drug than weed any day. I've seen many a fight/stabbing/whatever get started because some arsehole had too much to drink so I guess that's a major factor in my drug of choice.

Ergo, I'll leave on this note:
Hail the leaf!
