"thank you i don't smoke"

would you guys "look down" on someone who said that? if you're hanging out with some people and one of them just doesn't hit the bowl. i would think the answer is pretty obvious, but i won't bias you. be honest.

this is a thread from the psychedelic forum, i wanted to see what you stoners think.

edit: i add to the thread.....

they don't say it bitchy. they actually say "thank you i don't smoke" but the third poll choice could mean that they say that, but then act condescending towards you, and maybe separate themselves from the circle, or become quiet and withdrawn, or something like that. but they don't bitch at you for smoking or be bitchy in general...

 

I won't complain. More weed for everyone else to smoke, there's no point in getting someone high if they won't enjoy it/don't want to. I respect people's decisions, most of the time.

On the other hand if they say they don't smoke, but bitch at me because I do, that's another story.

 

More weed for me.

If they don't smoke cool!

 

if they're real bitchy about how they say no I might have a problem...

 

That's when I pull out the revolver and say "boy, I wasn't asking, I said hit the god damn bowl"

But I wouldn't really care, though I would think to myself wow this kid must be bored, like here we are sitting here doing drugs in front of him and there's nothing we can give him to do and we're obviously not going to stop

 

haha, like in the movie training day kinda

and they shouldn't be bored. when i smoke weed that's not all i do. we're at least watching tv, listening to music, bullshitting about something, at a party, going for a hike, etc.
they can participate without "partaking" - my friends use that word to mean smoke.

one of my best friends just quit smoking because he said the positives no longer outweigh the negatives. he smokes too much, can't not smoke if he has it (me too for those two), and feels un-motivated from it, spends too much money (not me for those) and whatever other feelings he has on it.

but i just found out the other day. when someone didn't pass the bowl to him i asked "what are you, skipping terry?" and he said "terry no longer 'partakes'" that was the end of that. actually it wasn't. i talked to him about it and said i support that, good job whatever, but our fourth friend was rolling his eyes or something. he's a pot head and gets a little irritated or something when people talk badly about weed. but he also just thinks, he doesn't have problems with weed, so he loves it.

 

It's against the laws of stoner etiquette to look down on anyone for not smoking, as long as they refrain from smoking for the right reasons and aren't being ignorant about it.

 

why would anyone care if someone doesnt smoke? as long as they are cool with being around it whats the big deal?

 

cause barely anyone IS cool with it. wel around here at least. the other night my friend and i were hitting a bowl with these 2 girls, and the 3rd girl wouldn't come within lie 5 feet of us. we were like "come sit with us" and she was liek "no not when your smoking pot" 90% of the non-smokers I know are just ignorant fucks.

 

depends on how they act about it...

you gotta respect those who smoke and those who don't
not everyone smokes

if they didn't smoke and were cool about it then it's straight
if they didn't smoke and were giving me bad vibes by bitching because i was smoking, then fuck them don't disrespect the ganja

 

i never smoked until i met my bf. but the first time he smoked in front of me i was fine with it. most people i know wouldnt make a big deal about it. i guess it depends on what your friends are like. people are pretty accepting, at least the ones ive come in contact with

 

I voted depends on how they acted about it. I have no problems at all with people turning down smoking. It happens all the time, and even sometimes I turn down smoking.

Not that long ago I asked a girl if she wanted to hit a blunt that was going around. She made the most disgusting face and said "No! I don't do that shit" in the bitchiest way ever. I wasn't mad she turned it down, but she didn't have to act like a bitch about it, or look down on me because I smoke.

 

exactly. if you can respect their descion to not smoke, they should at least respect yours to smoke.

 

I wouldn't care if someone smoked weed or not.

More for me anyfuckinway.

 

I donno,
it usually makes me feel kinda wierd when I'm smoking and other people in the circle aren't. I usually feel better if they're away. either that, or i just wont smoke at all if they dont wanna, cuz i would feel like i'm disrespecting the person by smoking anyway.

 

part of me wishes everyone in the world smoked, it would be more relaxed I think. Part of me, logically, says its fine either way.

 

but they wouldn't stand in the circle if they took it as disrespectful.

and most of my friends that don't smoke, used to smoke and quit. i can see how people who've never tried it or are just younger and learning about it in dare or something might be a buzzkill.

 

Then when they hit it say it's got pcp in it XD


Ha, nah if i ask and they're an asshole about it i'd def have some problems. Shit, no reason to get an attitude over a question.

 

some people do
some people don't
some people will hit the bong
and some people won't

and

"my choice is what i choose to do,
and if i'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you.
your choice is who you choose to be,
and if you're causing no harm then it's alright with me."

 

yessss!!
