Just seems like something that makes sense in a lounge.

If marijuana makes watching fantasy and sci-fi movies halfway tolerable, I think the happy tabaccy is a great addition to the lounge.

Only airports and hotels have lounges.

I'm just hoping it turns into a cheeto vs cheeze it discussion asap.

I can't pick!

Cheez It wins hands down. Cheetos are gross and when they introduced the hot stuff, they managed to create something that tastes worse than earth worms.

Yes, yes there should.

cheese crisp win. super win:

I was going to post something, but I forgot what it was.

I don't do weed, but of course I know and knew a lot of people who do.

In Austin, weed is sort of a second class citizen to many other things, but I always found it fascinating how they even have that fake stuff called K2 or something?

The other thing was how they talked about the quality of the weed. They would say "Mexican" for rag and "California" for the good stuff.

Having moved there from California, I sometimes pointed out to them that California weed is completely meaningless. California weed can be one of many 100s of pure strains, hybrids, and the entire smorgasbord of edibles. It could also be garbage that none of the locals wanted to buy, I guess.

I grew up in Austin. Pretty much everyone I knew smoked pot. The president of our honor society in high school got busted for possession.

I smoked every day from around 15 yrs. old until I as around 45. I just quit. No really good reason, just quit. I crave it all the time still. This thread isn't helping much.

why did you quit? i have mixed feelings about pot. i've seen people do well, but i've also seen lives go sideways, in my opinion, the result of smoking weed.

I was a little older when I just quit after about 30yrs of smoking.
Like other rec drugs I used to take, I just got bored with it. I found it
easy to quit, which surprised me and even tho' I still get a craving every now and then I don't really miss it much.

I personally never met a regular pot smoker who could handle their ****, but then again, I've never met a middle-class regular user. Lot's of rich users, but they don't count since mommy and $10k is only a phone call away.

I once read that regular pot-smokers just don't like stress, so pot is a way to take the edge off everything. This probably makes some sense, since it seems that the breaking point of every one I've interacted with was some stressful situation. They simply didn't train themselves to handle the small things, so when a semi-major, non-life-altering experience happens, their whole life tumbles to bits.

That's completely unfounded pop-psych of course. I've known a lot of daily alcohol drinkers who can handle life just fine, but can't say the same for pot smokers for whatever reason.

The successful pot smokers are probably more likely to be the ones to hide it well.

There is a difference between a once a week smoker and someone who smokes nearly every day. I'm not talking about the person who smokes once in a while.

I apparently look like someone who can't get enough weed. Everyone is pretty open with me about having some, wishing to share, and all the information. I probably know more about weed than most weed smokers because they can't seem to shut up for 5 minutes about the stuff.

Why do you presume that it would only be a child (ok, an under 30 year old) that is rich and at risk of getting arrested?

There are plenty of people who are doing well in their 40's and later who carry on actual lives. I actually have four separate attorneys in my building alone that I know of who smoke. Some grow their own, some bring it back on regular trips outside of the State.

I'm not particularly worried about an arrest given that the local DA has essentially decreed that she isn't interested in prosecuting cases where the amount in question was for personal use (less than two ounces). If I were to get stopped elsewhere, it would be a deferred disposition as a 50+ with zero previous history of conviction. Bond would be no issue since I long ago memorized things like my AXP number...although I limit my exposure by not keeping it in my car nor do I partake in any of the vehicles.

I actually had one doctor who has been treating me for back issues secondary to an MVA and recommended that I use remedies not legal in the State of Texas. His theory is that it is better for the body than running Percocet through it all day long. I CAN say that certain strains afford a greater amount of specific relief than the Percocet and it does not interfere with my ability to be productive. I have also found that some of the vapes from the West Coast that are a blend of THC and CBD provide relief in the office during the day...

Arresting would be 100% better than what I'm talking about, lol, but okay. Never seen anyone get arrested over marijuana... (I have, but definitely not getting into that topic).

I'm 45 and pretty much smoked just about every day from the ages of 15 to 35. I got tired of every time my group of friends got together it always revolved around how/when/where we were going to smoke before going to do whatever it was we were doing. It became the focal point of every gathering.

I still hang out with some of those same friends occasionally and they'll smoke around me but it doesn't bother me.

I can't say I'll never smoke again but as of right now I have no desire.

I also know some very successful people between the ages of 35 and 50 that smoke every day.

Is weed better than beer for what you need?*


*Or think you need.

Just so the record is straight (dope).

Different reasons. The guy I always got it from (a good friend) moved and I was too lazy to try to find someone else. And, I had been thinking about what it would be like to not smoke. It just seemed like something to try.

I know two people that smoke every day. One is retired from owning a business that did quite well. He worked there every day. The other is a golf pro. He has managed many golf courses. Both are still married to their first wife and both have raised multiple children.

Yeah, different highs. If I could only choose one I think I'd take pot. I drink but honestly the buzz isn't always great. The only issue with pot is you can't turn it off (well I guess that goes for booze too). I do get a little paranoid with pot, though, so socially alcohol is probably a better choice.

I'm befuddled.
