I judge people who enthusiastically use cannabis

A lot of these complaints are pretty universal for different drug cultures.

Quality and strength is always debated. Look at any of the regional discussions regarding heroin. "NJ dope is the best". "NY dope is the best". "Those northeasterners don't know what they're talking about, Chicago dope is the best!" "No! Baltimore is the best, that's why The Wire took place there!" "Tar is better than any of the powder". Etc., etc., etc.

Pot is just more socially acceptable, so you're going to have more people talking openly about it. They can't talk about it anywhere though, so when there is somewhere they can discuss it, they usually go over the top in talking about it. There's also a greater % of people using weed over other drugs like meth or heroin, so you're more likely to hear about it over other drugs.


I haven't heard any of these discussions in a few years. I think it's more of the initial excitement of finding a drug that they like, but isn't as dangerous as other drugs. Growing up you go through DARE and other BS programs, so when you start to learn that all that stuff you were taught in school is pretty much bullshit there's a desire to try and educate others. It's just that there is so little conclusive scientific research, since it's been illegal to do research in the US for decades (not sure if that has changed in the last few years), that many people start spouting off information that isn't accurate.

If you've been around the culture for a few years those discussions have all gotten old and have been talked about ad nauseam

The fact that they're universal doesn't excuse them. If it was any other culture, I'd have the same thing to say about it. I don't care that it's pot, it just happens to be it. And funnily enough, cannabis happens to be one of the most researched illegal drugs. At least nowadays there has been plenty scientific research done that it isn't excusable anymore to claim disproven/wrong things.

Having said that, my personal pet peeve is people who claim something that there is scientific evidence for suggesting that it's wrong or just say illogical things, so it is only natural for me to be annoyed by the same things in this context. I have nothing against cannabis and those who smoke it - a lot of my friends do, and I do as well, albeit rarely.

And no, Sidnafinilisevil, the smoking aspect of cannabis is not far less harmful than tobacco. Unless you can produce a study which confirms your statement, I'm going to assume you meant the overall effect of cannabis vs tobacco.

Show me these studies and where they're done.

The fact that these occur in every drug subculture does somewhat excuse it, since it's happening in every subculture. It's not just pot. If it bothers you so much, that's more to do with you than the culture. If you get involved with any illicit drug these same type of conversations come up.


This thread is so whiny that I'm not even going to read or post anymore, except to see all those scientific studies that they've done since it's so well researched compared to other drugs. The whining on this thread about pot head culture is almost as annoying as the people that the thread is complaining about.
 
I agree that (hollywood) pot head culture is stupid.

Also i think, it is/was an important factor for any legalization movement. It showed the anti drug people that there are differences. While pot heads may be seen as dirty, lazy and dump losers by general society, its also accepted, that they do no harm to society ( - unless crack, heroine etc. users). One can have a laugh and don't need to be scared. It just seems senseless and ridiculous for society, not a menace to fight against.

I think that cannabis culture could be considered unique among drug subcultures in that you can broadcast the fact that you REALLY FUCKIN' LOVE WEED loudly to the world, and it's a lot more socially acceptable than other drugs. Even amongst themselves, in my experience, meth and heroin users don't praise those drugs to the heavens...another user or dealer might tell you "Hey this is really good stuff, you'll like it", or remark about how much they like the drug in a self-deprecating kind of fashion, but no one is going to go on about how crystal meth is god's gift to man & how they're soooooo glad that it's in their life. In fact I've found that there's a noticeable undercurrent of shame involved in a lot of illegal "hard drug" use.

That's totally not the case with marijuana and *certain* users.
 
The only thing I hate about marijuana subculture is patchouli. It does nothing to cover up the stink of not washing and having not shampooed your hair in a month or so.

Hardline marijuana people give a bad name to the conscientious smoker. We as humans like to categorize people, unfortunately the crazy extreme right wing or left wing people yell the loudest, thus spoiling a movement that could be beneficial to the people.

Lastly, if you don't like these people, don't hang around with them. It is not like you are in a gulag and are forced to work a chain gang with them. You aren't forced to live and work in a headshop. You are your own best censor.
 
I don't smoke weed any more, haven't been a weed smoker for about a decade in fact.. crikey, feeling my age saying that.. But! When I did smoke, I always judged the enthusiastic people (online mostly) that talked about what strain they were smoking.. Like "I got AK-47" or "I got purple cunt mustard" or some such bullshit. I think because in Australia no one fucking says dumb shit like that, no one gives a fuck, about the only distinction is 'homegrown' and 'hydro' (basically some shit from the single plant in your backyard vs the super-potent stuff grown out of some sweet hydro setup a professional grower has).

I mean, people that actually grow weed may talk about the strain and such. But no fucking weed smoker in Australia talks about the 'name' of the pot they're smoking.

So - as a smoker, I always found it really weird (and incredibly lame) seeing people online banging on about the name of the weed they were smoking.

You guys shouldn't judge people based oh how "grungy" or clean you look as its all a personal choice pot head or not.

Not ment as an attack but psychstryda you must live a perfect existence free of fast food video games and workin a hard 9-5 for minimum wage like tons of us who by coincidence may or may not smoke weed.

Tobacco contains nicotine which is addictive to the point of withdrawl. It also contains many, many other poisons. Cannabis contains CBD and THC among other compounds like CBD. All of them have proven to have medical uses when produced correctly. It doesn't take much brain power to figure which one is going to do more harm. I smoke both in mixed joints, and also just pure pipes of cannabis. But I'm well aware when I used to smoke cigarettes I had a cough, when I stopped and switched to only weed, no cough. Doesn't take a fucking genius to work out medicinal quality cannabis or cannabis grown an enthusiastic friend even is going to have less harmful fertilizers put on it than a commercial size crop of tobacco which is rarely grown ethically imo. belligerent drunk your quick to open your mouth on here but most of what you say is a fallacy.

If I wanted to be pedantic here I would argue that any harm cannabis does to my lungs is a lesser problem than the problem it solves with giving me motivation and lifting my mood. I've done a shitload of drugs, I've drank a shed load of booze, I've smoked more cigs than I should have. Weeds alright in my eyes.
