Pot or not?

[kms brown]

So after having a long discussion with my dad we came to the conclusion that i should stop smoking :(. I smoke every night and only then to help me fall asleep. Yet lately a certain someone has been spreading rumors about me to my group of friends saying i smoke 3 times a day. This has caused a large fall out of friends for the most ridiculous of reasons including them not wanting me to smoke at there house, though i never have and never plan too. Basically my dad thinks that if i stop smoking ill be able to mend the wounds with my friends, find out who the rat is and beat the shit out of him. Then expose that persons lies to them and start smoking again. After discussing this with a friend he told me it was a excellent idea(he actually smokes 3 or more times a day). But he suggested me just quitting on the week days and only doing it on the weekends. Lowering my expenses and making it easier to convince my friends that im not a pot head. I was thinking of just quitting till summer and growing in my time of sobriety so by the time its summer i will have free large amounts of weed. Plus my dad said i might like staying sober more than being high. What do you think?

[beachguy in thongs]

I would hang out with your friends, more.

[Sir Bliss]

What the fuck? What kind of friends do you have? If you consider people that spread false rumors about you friends, then maybe you should forget about some of them and find true friends. I mean come off as a dick or anything, but that just isn't cool. There are better people out there, trust me. Let me guess, High School? Oh the inevitable bullshit.


After discussing this with a friend he told me it was a excellent idea(he actually smokes 3 or more times a day). But he suggested me just quitting on the week days and only doing it on the weekends.
Haha, why is he giving you advice if he's smoking 3 times a day? I suppose that's an idea. There's nothing wrong with toking on weekends, so that's a start. Maybe over time you'll learn to balance your habit--though I'd hardly consider it that. If you're smoking once a day..that's really nothing (especially at night).


Lowering my expenses and making it easier to convince my friends that im not a pot head.
I can understand the expenses part...but convincing your friends you're not a pothead? Come on. What does it matter what they think. If they're not going to be your friend because you're a "pothead" I think you have the wrong idea of friendship.

It's all up to you, man. You shouldn't let others make up your mind for you. Being sober is nice, but months on end can get a biiit dull. I've "quit" before too, but never that long. I consider them breaks. There's nothing wrong with taking a break now and again...but quitting is for good. You really want to quit the holy herb for good? Of course not.

Do what you got to do. If a break is order, then so be it. It should be up to you and only you. You are an individual, are you not? Best of luck to you bro.

[Atkeni]

Any freind who would treat you like that is no freind at all, your better off making new freinds who treat you with respect and dignity

[LIP]

Your friends, aint friends. They're morons who deserve to burn in the firey pits of hell. [I'd go into gruesome detail, but it's probably not appropriate.]

So, basically, your friends are keeping away from you because they think you smoke more than you do?

Ahh this is too confusing from me.

Just get REAL friends and toss those wankers away.

Could'nt have said it any better matey!!

Also Rocket Ronnie out of the Masters WTF

keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning :rastasmoke:

[Sir Bliss]

Hell yeah, LIP.

Tell it like it is.

[Innominate]

Don't conform to what your friends expect from you. You should be the person you want to be, doing the things you want, as long as they don't hurt anyone else, let alone yourself. I think it's great you want to quit for a while and save money and tolerance, but if people are saying things about you, confront the issue with your words.

There is more to life than these stupid people.

[FlyGuyOU]

you aren't a pothead. you are you. if you'd like to apply labels you can, but everybody knows that they don't fit so you might as well not use them.

[TakeHitsCarefully]

Meet new, better friends and keep on toking. Don't let the man keep you down from doing what you enjoy

[dragonrider]

Basically my dad thinks that if i stop smoking ill be able to mend the wounds with my friends, find out who the rat is and beat the shit out of him.

Thisis your dad's idea? Find out who the rat is and beat the shit out of him? Dude, both your dad and your friends are a bit off I think.

[jimmy8778]

i think you should do what you want, if your friends wont tell you who told them that your a "pothead" then screw all of them a true friend will believe that what you tell them is the truth and then will tell you who told them, and they may only need a little proof, like showing them your baggy 2 days in a row to show that you only use a little, and the whole smoking at their house thing is out of respect if they dont smoke at all why should you, but dont let them smoke at your house either, and get some more friends who are mre accepting of your practices, but this thread has given me a good argument to argue with people who dont accept me because i dont smoke, tell them that if they cant accept that you smoke that you cant be friends because it is what you do and your open to what they do why arent they to you?

hahaha intense



if your friends think less of you for smoking pot then those friends suck. really. They might just be concerned if you are doing it all the time, but as long as you can get your shit done I don't see why there is any reason for them to think that. Take a little break or something and just smoke when you feel like it. Just try not to get carried away.

and your friends will probably start smoking soon too anyway.

[Blackwolf575]

Man, i feel ya. Thats exactly how my school is. I'm in the SAME situation. It sucks. :mad:

[poseidon]

Thats not how you solve problems dude.. Not at all, Not by beating someone up.. You are waay off key.. I mean, I'm sure you like your friends a lot because you choose to call them your 'friends' but honestly If I have such game playing going on between my circle of friends I'd just quietly stop returning their calls.. heh.. I don't get it man, why does humanity always end up complicating simple things...

I agree.

To the OP, I'm amazed that your dad suggested this as way to expose "the rat" and then kick his ass, and I'm amazed another friend thinks it's a good idea. It's a bad idea.

If your freinds can't accept weed and you do not want to give it up, then get new friends.

If your freinds can't accept weed and you still want to be around them, then give up the weed, but not as a way to expose and beat up someone.

[Spoken Word]

I don't know..
At 18(at least), YOU should know what works for your body.. Forget(F**K) everyone elses opinion...

[Reefer Rogue]

Absorb all the advice you can. Think. Decide for yourself and you alone.

[poseidon]

Dude, one more thing.. If you really want to keep the friends (HAHA) why don't you ask them what they have against Marijuana? Educate them and if they still want to stay in the dark.. Well.. As I said, I would stop returning their calls..

[Purple Banana]

DO WHAT YOU WANT.

[Purple Banana]

DO WHAT YOU WANT

[smok3y]

Dude, I would get rid of them so called friends cause they realy aint your friends man.. They sound like a bunch of wankers to be honest with you.. Who they fuck are they to judge. Its up to u if u want to smoke 3 times a day, its ur weed, do what the fuck u want, smoke 5 times a day if u want man.. fuck them..
Find some new friends to chill with...

[poseidon]

DO WHAT YOU WANT

Haha, exactly.. but see, if this guy knew about this kind of information before hand, he wouldn't bother discussing his private matters out here.. :thumbsup:

[RASTA ZAK]

An Eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. weed is the herb of peace not war

[Frickr]

if your "friends" cant accept what you do in your spare time, then they really arent friends. why conform to what they want? why must you do things to please them? what have they done for you?? if you like smoking pot, keep smoking it. things have a way of working out. all through highschool i had one close set of friends, we were liked by others, we did occasionally hang out with those groups, and yes i did kick a kids ass because i got tired of all the shit that they talked to that group of friends, and got tired of all the stoner remarks,. but you know, since i have got out of school, i have a different group of friends, and the jist of it all, is all the people that ever gave me shit for smoking pot in highschool, when i see them now, they always ask me if i can score a bag, or if i want to go blaze one with them. enough about my story, but all i gotta say is do what makes you happy, dont conform, and find some true friends that respect your choices.

[kms brown]

Hahahahaha i wish i could have revisited this sooner. Ok so first off dont say i have shit friends you have to see it threw there eyes they see marijuana as a dangerous substance that should not be used more than a few times every few months. About my dad that was a little dramatized by emotions (weak i know). What he really said was to find the person responsible and tell him to man up and stop being a bitch. About my friend, why would you not take advice from someone who is smoking that often and it opposes their habit? Posiedon, Shut up please, Your answer was to run away from your problem and hide. I dont know about you but thats not how i solve problems. Hey at least we found some interesting answers like not conforming to not smoking and ingest as many substances as i want, but that would just be conforming to the hated stereotypical pot head? And doing that would deter 6 to 8 potential smokers and they would then teach their children that pot was bad. So im glad i did what i did, skipped work to hang with'em, they were just butt hurt because i wasnt spending time with them.

[Reefer Rogue]

I love my dangerous substance =/

The hated stereotypical pothead? Hatred is ignorance. Stereotypes are stereotypes. Pothead's should not be discriminated against or slandered because they consume cannabis. We are humans, some more moral then others but the majority are good people who can live together in peace and not wish to cause harm to anyone. Just because i smoke cannabis, that does NOT make me a 'bad' person. That doesn't logically follow, no matter how many times i smoke a day because you know what? I can smoke as much as i want and NEVER, cough cough, sorry there ;) let me repeat myself: NEVER EVER overdose!

Have a good one :)

[poseidon]

Posiedon, Shut up please, Your answer was to run away from your problem and hide.

You seem offended?? My answer was to educate your friends about the weed.. and I said if 'I' had such friends I would do xyzz.. Refer back.. :smokin:

[smokey2315]

ya u got some raggady friends if they dont like you b/c of what YOU like doing. its ur life and its not like it you smoking affects them. I smoke jsut to go to bed too. and none of my friends have a problem with it. but i guess the plan that u and ur dad set was is pretty elaborate. dude jsut do wat u do back in middle school. sign in under ur friends screen name and talk to ur friends pretending ur not there! works all the time
