What are you guys interested in outside of weed? I've quit smoking socially for some various reasons. I don't really like the whole culture surrounding pot smoking, at least in my areas. Too much focused is placed on getting as trashed as possible as often as possible. I've been guilty of that as much as anyone else, but I've decided that it isn't for me anymore. I'm sick of having every outing with my friends focused on getting weed. I love marijuana obviously, but it doesn't need to be a bad thing to be sober for one afternoon. I don't know how to keep my friends though. They still like to get high allllll the time and I don't want to ruin their fun. Nothing really seems to fill the void of going out like I used to, even though I've made a choice that it's best if I don't. Anyone else going through this? Thoughts anyone?
wow that's the best question I've heard asked in these forums..... anyways, I love movies watch them all the time, I write both short stories and poetry (mostly poetry), I wanna get a new skateboard it's been quite awhile but I would really like to start up again, I read alot of shit online, I spend lots of time on news websites, satire websites, and textfiles.com about the stoner culture thing, there isn't too much of a stoner culture around here, just lots of stoners so I don't have any of those kinda problems
i [personally dont like reading stuff. i play a lot of guitar, in my room, stoned and sober. sometiems, if i play a certain tune, ig brings a rush. im serious. ive got this one tune that when i play it, my body tenses and i get this sort of.. adrenaline BOOM and i cant control it, im very close to my music. its like music enduced euphoria but since im playing it and its my own stuff, it hits home even better, and i can get it when im sober, which is a differnet feeling because im sober but the rush is still there wierd eh
Well if you dont wanna ruin their fun, then you gotta tell them its fair to not ruin yours. You wanna stay sober for an afternoon? I say go for it! You dont need your smokin buddies for that, and if you need someone to be sober with, find some a new friend or someone that isnt a weed fiend to chill on the days you want. I got a ton of other interests then weed, but I DO love weed, and its awsome to have friends like the ones you got that are so hellbent on getting weed, so your getting easy access to a toke session. Good luck man
outside of weed... ah, sports. i love sports. sports encompass my life. i love particiapating, i love watching, i love keeping stats. i also like to read. and i just like to hang out with friends just talking. talking about nothing is fun
u dont get that with other music? i know some songs which give me that feeling especially in the right enviroment ie. [i dunno if any of u even follow the NHL] but me and a friend went to Game 7 of round 1 in the playoffs last season when Vancouver was playing against Calgary Game 7, in overtime the song they play going into the overtime with everyone going absolutley nuts was ACDC- TNT i felt weak in the knees it was such a perfect song gave me shivers
Wow, I'm shocked at all the responses. I suppose I should answer the question too- I paint alot, mostly abstract with the occaisional landscape. Painting is so relaxing to me. It feels like I can just let whatever is in my head flow through my hands. Pottery, sculpture and photography are things I've dabbled in too. I'm not really talented, but art is one of the few things I find consistently enjoyable. I like to read when it's something I can pay attention to. Philosophy, psychology, stuff along those lines.
I love to make jewelry mostly hemp stuff, I'm getting a kiln and torch soon so I'll be making my own glass beads. I love making clothes, I sing, play guitar, paint and write poetry. I love nature, camping swimming... I'm mostly into spiritual stuff, like meditation and yoga. awsome question btw, I actually got to know some cool things about some people, thanks!
Ive been thinking the same thing since getting chargedwith possession. Your story sounds almost identical to mine as everytime i hang out with my friends it always seems we are either smoking or trying to find some.
well uh, yeah i sorta know what u mean. sometimes u think 'man what else am i gonna do with my friends if we dont get stoned?' but i mean, me and my friends can have fun no matter what but of course just bein stoned just adds 2 it. and why the hell not? we wud do the same things anyways...just stoned. besides smoking, i like writing alot...like anything..poetry,stories,and crap like that. i also like dancing...well soon im gonna take hula and belly dancing classes! haha so i can be in shows and stuff. i like surfing and making hemp jewlery, and uh soon im gonna play the drums cuz i love them but i gotta buy my own set!
I see what you mean, I'm somewhat in the same dillema(sp?)... I love to mountain bike and rally around in my car, skateboarding is awesome too. Music is also kind of a hobby, I guess, and I'm starting to learn the guitar. I would be snowboarding, but I have really loose shoulder joints that dislocate really easily now, and sometimes do when I'm skating... Just go do shit with your friends!
hear what ya mean man... i actually prefer smoking by myself for that very reason... alot of the people i use to smoke with would just smoke all day long... i mean come on... when ya get stoned.. why keep smoking... wait til the buzz goes away at least.. the catch it again... As for outside of the marijuana world.... I like being outdoors... fishing... frisbee golf... listening to music... cooking... watching movies... playing video games... sports... love going to games... baseball and hockey mostly... football tickets are too tough to get... but i love football out of all the sports i like, go Vikes!!! I also just like driving around and exploring new roads, yes sober... its nice to be away from everything at times
Great thread topic. For me, I do a lot of reading, mostly philosophical or spiritual stuff, but not always, I like a good novel now and then. I read a lot online too, keep up on news and just look up whatever's interesting to me at the moment. I also like to write, mainly poetry, gotta have creative outlets. I used to draw a lot, but haven't in a while. Too long, gotta get back into that again. I also like to take my dog out walking, that's always relaxing. Music is generally always around too, gotta have some good tunes to jam to. Other than that, I just try to be outside as much as possible, especially now since it's warm out.
Yeah I am starting to go back to a weekend toker only again. this is day 6 without weed. Other htings i like doing is gardening, I post a lot on the gardening forum, I love investigating paranormal stuff, whether its researching it online, or going around where I live looking for spook hot spots, there is a gravity hill not to far from here and it is awesome.
it's "suposidly" this phenomenon that like on these hills, water will run up them not down there is one just outside of vancouver but i've never been, suposidly if pour water on the road it will go up the hill because of the geometry or some shit, wouldnt mind checkin it out one day
i like playing my drums, listening to music, hang with chill people...hey, what else is there to do other than smoke bud and waste my time on the internet?
