I don’t smoke weed. I can count how many times I’ve been to a casino in my life on one hand. And while I love and watch college football every Saturday during the season, I’ve never bet a single dollar on a game. Guess I’m pretty boring.

And it’s not that I judge others for doing these things. It’s that they simply don’t interest me.

Wait are you saying weed is the training wheels or wine cooler equivalent of drugs? Because if so, aren’t you proving his point that it’s the gateway drug?




Comprehend better. I used another analogy other than drugs/alcohol

Calm down and have a puff. I love the smell of fresh pinecones in the morning

I addressed both analogies in my response and they both laid out how a person would start out doing a much less risky version of an activity before doing a risky one. Very similar to smoking weed versus shooting up heroin

No you just bitch about other people that voice their opinion. You think you’re any different? You just found something else to be a bitch about.

You must not have kids? Or at least kids with asthma. I do. And that shite sends my kids in to a coughing frenzy. So you take your unearned self entitlement bitch arse self and GFY.

Drinking responsibly as mature adults, yes….getting hammered like we are in college, no.


Can a mature adult not responsibly smoke his cannabis?

I don’t believe you. Drive on the interstate between BR and NOLA, you’ll smell it. Come to LSU’s campus on a game day; certain games it’s more prevalent than BBQ. Go to a park on a nice day and you’ll undoubtedly smell it.

That’s a part of my point. I simply don’t go to the places the public leaf smokers go. I have zero desire to go to BR or Nola and even less to drive the interstates there or be on campus.

I wouldn’t light up at a party at someone’s house unless it was cool with the person throwing the party. However, I’m curious, are you ok with people getting hammered in front of your kids?



Absolutely not.

Smoke that stinky shite at home. Eat it, I don't give a frick. Just stop smoking it in public.

I'm in my 40s. Not that old.

Weed
Tats
Vaping
Excessive gambling

Are all trashy as frick. Don't GAF if that's what pussy arse millennials and Gen Z like. There's a reason they're all crazy and depressed.

Humans push limits until they destroy everything good.


Nothing wrong with weed or gambling, people just cant do things responsibly and in moderation.

You'll always find the anti social of society screwing things up for the rest of us.

considering there are under ten in the whole state of La, i think you dont know the difference in legal weed shops and shops that sell to the lazy/ignorant



I haven't lived in that shithole LA for 20 years thank god. And I'm happy that it's not legal in Texas yet where I am. But when I travel, I find it tacky and obnoxious how many dispensaries there are. I also hate vape shops.

Look, I know I'm screaming at the clouds and a dinosaur. And I agree aggressive drinking especially driving is more dangerous and I'd be totally fine if they really cracked down more on that too.

My rant in general is just more about changes I don't like and find trashy. Again, times change and I'm left behind in my worldview. It is what it is. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

And I'm fine with it being legal. I just wish it was illegal to do it in public juts like it's illegal most places to walk around drinking openly.

Are you retarded?How do you still not understand what i'm saying? It doesn't matter what activity somebody does in their life, it is human nature to start from the bottom and work your way up. It's not the weed that makes these people try harder drugs, it's just the natural order of things.

If someone had the nerve to smoke weed in my house much less in front of my kids, they'd never be at my house ever again and I'd have nothing to do with them. Pure trash.

The smell of weed from a nearby neighbor's property can be annoying. Especially when you're on the porch with a kid that keeps asking why does it stink outside.

Your pot-smoking buddies didn't get the memo. At a Diamondbacks game, in the parking lot at the grocery store, on the trails while I was hiking. At a forest lake in the mountains fishing. After it was legalized for recreational use in Arizona you couldn't throw a rock and not hit a pothead smoking in public. So glad I don't deal with that shite in Idaho.

Everyone is different. Weed worked for me as a reverse gateway. I used to drink beers on Saturdays, but eventually those beers would lead me to calling up the man and ordering up the White Devil. Once I started eating gummies while drinking beer, I chilled the f*ck out, did not call the man for the White Devil, and safely remained on the couch listening to tunes. Weed worked for me by getting rid of a very expensive and destructive vice. But, we are all different.
