When did you lose the pothead mentality?

I was a pothead for many years, you know the kind that doesnt go to school and smokes 3,4,5 different times throughout the day, usually starting a few minutes after waking up. Everyone knew it and I didnt hide it. Then i discovered a beautiful little drug called oxycodone, and started neglecting my first love, pot. I still burn once in a while, but I dont put it out there, and tell many people i dont even smoke anymore because of the extrmemely negative view most take on it. Now, the stigma with those OC's is a completely different animal, and for good reason....
 
I've been smoking for 15 years, but I was never big on advertising it. Why have yourself defined as a druggie for smoking a bowl??
 
I have been smoking for the past 3 and a bit years now. I have never really considered myself a pothead/stoner and I don't think I ever will. I smoke daily, but I don't really advertise it, nor do I advertise my other drug usage.
 
haha i see those kind of people all over. rasta colors, and those baggy ass hats and dreads. i would totally get dreads but not because they represent the rasta culture and marijuana.

those kinds of people are the ones who made me think that pot was stupid. i don't think that now (trying it tomorrow) but those are the sorts of people that damn near ruined pot for me. i didn't want to be like them in any way, and smoking was just a way that i thought i'd be "sinking to their level" with.
 
I prefer keeping my drug consomation conversations for me and my close pothead friends as many people will simply judge you on false fakes and such.

But pot actually help me realize that what people think about me wasn't really important. What I think about myself is the most important and whatever people want to say about me, I don't really care.

If they want to judge me, they can, everybody does judge anyway.
 
When i first started smoking alot I was hanging out with all the pot head kids and we used to just smoke all day and be high all the time with rasta everything and whatever. But now I smoke every once in awhile, i dont think id call myself a pot head anymore. I kind of just grew out of it after awhile. Like after high school
 
Back before I dropped out of college in the US, while I was nominally a student at one of the UC campuses there, I certainly had the pothead mentality in one of its classic forms. My only friends were potheads, I lived in the hippy co-op at one point, smoked constantly, made trips to various weed-related locations in cali and was constantly on some trip to some new galaxy with music on max in my headphones (I still love doing that)

When I came out of the fog I'd actually joined a cult that was very anti-drug, so I demonized my admittedly harmful use to massive proportions. When I stopped associating with that particular group and worked to recapture my mind, I came back to marijuana with loving arms, but she had changed. Made me paranoid. I still got high constantly but could never return to the happy hippy place that I wanted to go to.

These days my mind is on some legalize it and I'll advertise it shit. Until then, I'm cleanly shaven and walk the streets cautious of police who can make my life difficult in my home country (laws, customs and opinions are harsh against marijuana even if the youth are a blazin') I smoke tiny amounts and due to timing my tolerance (lack of money ftw) and I actually get higher than when I used to smoke higher quality weed at all times of day.

You probably couldn't even tell I'm a recreational toker unless I posted some bizarre thing on the internet explaining that I am ;) Well, that and my never-ending fascination with the band Sublime, heh.
 
I thought I'd get a real pothead mentality thing going. I started smoking about 5 months ago now, and do it fairly often. I noticed a personality change, I've become more concerned with peace and love (cliche as it is, I was suprised it happened) but I haven't advertised my smoking, but I'm not too shy on it either.
 
I never dressed like a pothead; well, except for havng burn marks/hole in all of my clothes :D

That said, I've recently stopped wearng overtly "hippy" clothing because I'm tired of being known as a psychedelic user. Also, tracksuit pants and sht are more comfortable :D
 
It took me 3 years (until the age of 16) to realise nobody in my school cared if I smoked weed or not, then I dropped the whole wead leaf T shirt, and hemp trainers bullshit and just got on with my life, I Still smoke most everyday but you wouldnt know if you don't know me. O___o
 
okay so the guy my friend buys from. biggest pothead he's ever seen. has dreads, ALWAYS wears those baggy ass rasta colored hats, baggy pants, and he is ALWAYS high.

This kid smokes all day, comes to school high and everything.

He'll go to school blazed and get a %90 on his fucking exam! My friend asked him how he does it. he goes "man i smoked a ton last night, and i just stayed up all night studying! i was so focused man!" and he gets fuckin a's on his exams!

the kid is insane... haven't met him yet but i'm going to soon.
 
I was never like this... If you were my good friend, you knew i smoked weed. Otherwise, you wouldnt. I see no reason to advertise the fact and I never have
 
^Its not hard to do good on tests and school in general when high. I smoked before school everyday from 10th to 12th grade. It never got in the way of anything. As for the pothead thing I never really gave a fuck who knew and who didnt but I certainly didnt advertising the fact that I smoke.
