Everybody loves a pothead, were chill understanding loving people. I toke everyday and like to toke a bowl to myself at times. Everyone knows that and no one looks at it as bad. Yet I know of other seniors that drink everyday and most people feel concerned about them.
Has pot finally become more acceptable than drinking? Why is it percieved as worse to drink alone than toke on your own?
Cannabis will never be more socially acceptable than alcohol.
It's hard to be a functioning alcoholic. Being functional is a given on weed for me.
Well around the group of people I hang around with, yes, I'd say weed is always there, whereas the booze isn't.
Now as far as a general consensus, I'd have to say that drinking is still what's cool whereas weed still gets me a few dirty looks. Oh well, there's always another lifetime..
No.
Not so much with outsiders than with people who have actually had experience with both.
My non-smoking friends were more than happy to get smashed and vomit up their stomach's contents, but when I pulled out a joint (outside) they distanced themselves from me, and when I offered a hit, they waved it off, and went back to their cigarettes.
All depends on where your at. More acceptable in some places than others, also depends on the crowd you run with. Obviously its more acceptable at a place like...cannabis.com than at a bar.
I'd say its probably close to 50/50 weed/booze acceptance.
In certain circles I'd say it is. Overall, probably not but I like to hope that it is getting close :jointsmile:
I'd say alcohol. People that love to get drunk and do stupid shit and get into trouble with it all the time look down on me for being a stoner. I really don't get it. Like, they call me a stoner a lot as an insult. Sometimes if im arguing with someone they'll just be like "Go smoke weed." I don't see how that's an insult I just say "uh...ok."
no, it is nowhere near as accepted as drinking. if you think otherwise, you are wrong.
