I rarely talk to anyone that smokes anymore. I smoke just about everyday. Im a college student and work full time and get good grades and have great relationships..yet people are always down on me about it...I know its a tad illegal but still...
When I was working as a roady I know a guy who in one sitting smoked 10 cones before he got in his car and drove to the next job. Neither of us had slept for 2 days and I was questioning whether we'd even make it to the next job in one piece! He was nice enough to offer me a cone, but I've never done that when I had work coming up in a few hours.
When it's comes to working, I'm of no use stoned .....
I used to smoke when I realised that I didn't really enjoy it that much.
Hemp is a great product- pity we don't use it more in our lives- but I am done with smoking it.
I don't care if others do- but I am probably in the minority.
I'm a pothead, but not anonymous, actually I'm maybe a little too open about it. But, I find people all around me who smoke, I started another job recently, and within the first three weeks, through it, I've met 5 new smoking buddies. That's not rare for me, everyone I meet smokes.
I've met a few people of have had noticable personality changes that seem consistent with the reported effects of heavy pot usage. Loss of memory, sort of duller? I guess would be the best word for it. I don't know, it's hard to pin down with any one term, but I liked my friends more before they were stoners.

Yeah, I guess this thread isn't too annonymous, but I admit that I love smoking "tha ganj". I actually prefer it to drinking in that: 1) I don't get hangovers, 2) I can physically (and mentally) operate while using, 3) I usually have my senses heightened when using while alcohol usually dulls them, and 4) it makes sex, make outs, okay any kind of physical interaction with a lover more sensual.
It might be just me, but I am proud to be a user. Marijuana is almost impossible to overdose on and it impairs judgement far less than alcohol does.
Edited to say: although it does go quite a long way in adding to the myth that I am somehow a hippie...
I straddle the line between my groups of friends. One half can't go a day without smoking weed. The other thinks it's the worst thing in the world. I've somewhat bridged the gap between them, because I'm an on-again/off-again smoker. I'll go a few months without smoking, then smoke almost everyday for a few weeks. And since I'm living proof that pot doesn't ruin your life, make you stupid or less coherent, or any other stereotype, the friends that once hated it now have somewhat of a tolerance for it.
The way I see it, it's always the people who've never smoked that speak out against it. Most people that I know that have don't really care one way or the other, whether it was a one time thing or not.
I love smoking, but I don't want to let myself slip into that funk where I smoke everyday and can't feel normal without getting high. That's how I was a few years ago. I want to keep it recreational, not habitual.
I used to smoke pot everyday. Then, suddenly, I started getting an allergic reaction to it. My throat seems to swell up like I've got a golf ball stuck in there or something. So, now, I hardly ever do, and if I do its in small quantities.
