i know some very active potheads, including myself occasionally, the thing is they dont smoke to get fucked up, just get high and open those doors, very capable and able though. lots of people keep getting higher and highter when they smoke, sometimes without even realizing it... also i dont think pot is very materialistic george, sure it can be, but that doesnt mean it has to be, it affects your mind state, not the clothes you wear... oh and i would go with whoever said just make sure they don't know, don't let it interfere with yourlife too much, unless you think witha damn good reason your life was total bullshit before you started smoking...
if you want to keep your friends, keep them out of it. most people will not befriend you because they don't want to fall in with 'that crowd'
Your friends are supposed to be people you enjoy being around. Personally, I hate people who nag me all the time about stuff, I'd banish them from my circle.
this happened to me last week. i was talkin to a very close, very good friend of mine, and i told her i still smoke weed. she was a little upset and kept telling me that it was bad for me and everything. all you can tell them is that it's your choice to smoke and you have enough responsibility to be able to handle it without hurting yourself or anyone else. if it goes so far that your friends will no longer hang out with you cuz their so upset that you smoke (its happened to people i know) then that's their problem. just don't worry...
I recently had a friend ask me the same question. She said that her friends were talkin shit about the people around the school who smoke. So I told if they are going to talk shit or not accept you for who you are then they are not very good friends and that she should tell them to go fuck theirselves. If they weren't going to respect her decision and I guess she did because they all kinda went their own ways
I think some of you need to remember that the only reason the friends bring it up is becuase they're concerned about you. Yes, a lot of the time it may be out of ignorance, but you shouldn't ditch your friends just becuase they care enough about you to worry. If weed ever becomes more important than your friends, you should possibly start considering your priorities...
thanks for everyone whos commented on this for me, especially looloo for all the input. i've tried talking to my couple of friends that have gotten really upset about it and they still dont understand. They really don't know what they are talking about though, they can't think of one reason why they don't want me to do weed besides "it's illegal" and they keep telling me that i dont know what i'm getting myself into...It's very good to know that I have friends who care for me, I just wish they could see it from my point of view.
