Weed = Coolness?

Ok, before today I never really thought that weed really had any effect on popularity or anything like that really. Well anyways i guess today kind of changed my mind on that and here is why.


Alright so my fifth hour class is this elective called music in the humanities. Basically we just take notes and study music throughout the ages. Its really a blowoff class and an easy one too. Anyways its in this part of the school thats sort of like an empty space i guess. Its hard to explain. Basically its a an open room where the choir practices and sometimes the school has small dinners and banquets there occasionally. Also there is a sliding door at the far end of the room that opens up onto a nice deck with plants and a bench.

So today in class, this group was giving a presentation of music during the 1960s. Their presentation was over really fast and we had nothing to do. So we had a study hall for the last 25 minutes of class. Since it was such a nice day our music teacher decided to unlock the door to the deck if anyone wanted to go outside and enjoy the weather or just chill out there. So me and a few friends from class go out there on the deck and start playing hackey sack. After about 10 minutes we realize it would be easy as hell to smoke and get away with it because we could have one person hitting the bowl while the rest of us played hackey sack by the door and kept a lookout for the teacher. Long story short me and a few of the guys smoke up outside although i really didnt smoke that much. Just enough to get a little high. One of the guys i smoked with would be considered popular i guess. He goes to all the parties and has tons of friends and stuff. So anyways after lunch and stuff and throughout the rest of the day people keep comin up to me and givin me high fives and fist pounds and stuff and tellin me how cool that was.

So what do you guys think? Does weed make one cooler or more hip?

no dude hes a douche:thumbsup:

Who? The guy i smoked with? I mean it wasnt like a ton of people were talking to me and stuff just some guys i wouldnt usually talk to as much were like "man i heard you and bill smoked up in 5th period." me: yah then we high five or somethin similar.

It could maybe. I sorta think people who do it to be cool disrespect the dank. Haha. But if its just a perk, then hey what the hell?

IMO you guys bonded over the "breaking of the rules" not the weed per say.

It'll fade off, most likely, if he's one of those popular dick heads, but if it's the nice kind of people who are popular, it's all good. If he's a dick, he'll hit you up for more weed.

I notice that my younger sister in high school and all of the popular kids smoke weed, but 75% of them just do it as an alternative to alcohol; another high, if you will, or just to seem like they're cool, but they don't respect the herb. They can take it to annoying lengths...

"Maaan I got so HIIIIIIIIIIGH last night and then we hung out in the McDonald's parking lot till 2am, with our pimped out Dodge Neons with spoilers that we won't ever need 'cause our cars don't go fast enough to need the stabilization then Brian's mom called and bought us beer and the cops came and busted up our party and then I fucked some bitch, maaaaaaaaaaan. Can you get your older bro to buy us some cigs?"

We get a lot of those idiots in our town.

ROFL

Oh sorry yeah. But yeah, if thats what you want thats cool. I could give a shit about popularity. I'd rather have less good friends than more idiots.

No weed doesn't make you cool.

*edit*

Indeed.

(comment directed to poster above.)

DON'T LISTEN to these people man! They got it all wrong man! Pot makes you cool bro! THC isn't real, getting high is nothing but a surge of coolness and popularity rushing into your body man!

No.

It was probably just because it was tight that you were able to smoke in the classroom, I know that'd be cool to do at my school. And because you were smoking bud with a kid who knows alot of people, he told alot of people, so alot of people thought it was cool.

I dont think weed automatically = coolness, but is instead a gateway or common-ground type thing.

Give me a little bit to think of a way to explain better...

IMO weed is one way to make new friends and its the only thing that matters,... i dont give a fuck if people thinks taht im cool or not,... For me, good friends and weed is the best thing in the world,...

Cannabis is cool :cool:

I am cool. Look at my mood...and I smoka tha herb.

apparently you go to the coolest fucking high school there is....i would kill to talk about music in the 60's, play hackie sack, and smoke pot.....are you sure this is a school you go too and not a 8 hour long smoke out session with books?

Weed= Coolness!

Cannabis is cool - but shouldnt be smoked by someone to look cool. If someones going to smoke it they should understand what why and how it does what it does to you, they should respect it and praise it to anyone and everyone. It's like kids smoking ciggs to look cool, it's stupid.

It would be a lot cooler if you did :)

Yeah, this seems to be the case. Not a bad thing at all. You meet one new person, who introduces their friends to you...it's how life works...shit, now you might find yourself at a bender next weekend, who knows. Of course, keep your eyes open as well.

At my high school, a lot of people smoked...from popular kids to sports players to the rest. Their weren't any 'stoners' really, that's why I don't understand some people on here about 'that whole thing'. It was like, if you like to smoke...you smoke, you didn't have to be obsessed with it.

Although, drinking was a bit more popular amongst people, and was more of a 'cool' thing. But, we would always fuck with the people who did anything to 'fit it'. Like, you can come to the party and just chill, that's fine with me. But, if you're acting drunk or high...than you would get some looks and laughs from most of the rest. But, for the most part...everyone had their head spinning from something.

And thcbongman, thanks for that...made me laugh...good one lol.

Um notsomuch.

A stoned loser is still a loser.

Only your intelligence and attitude can make you cool.

Before I started smoking I had basically no social life to speak of. Once I started smoking and people started finding out that I did so, I started getting invited to parties and concerts and shit all the fucking time. I have to say that starting to smoke was the single best decision I've made. When I smoke I have the "I'm going to do what I want, if you don't like it, too fucking bad." mentality and apparently I'm sweet as shit when I'm myself. I don't really know if that had a point I'm a little hung over from last night so I'm not thinking very well. Anyways, time for school so I'll see you guys later.

I think it can make you popular in the sense that it can bring people who might not normally hang out together like it did with you and the guy in your class. Think about it this way, when you find out someone smokes you think oh thats cool, because you have something in common. We're attracted to people we have things in common with. Pot might make you more popular to other people who smoke, but it could make you less popular with people who dont. As long as you dont smoke because you think it will make you popular than its all good.

Bringing weed to school is just dumb, just blaze after school it really isn't worth the hassle when you get caught.

Spot on. My sentiments exactly.

Perhaps the cannabis itself posseses no 'coolness' and it is humans who give it this title through our conceptions and language.

I seemed to have alot more friends once I started smoking weed. Then again, I also believe that weed opened me up alot more to make friends.

You're not cool unless you pee your pants.

exactly, also hanging out with popular kids just makes people think they should pay attention to you too. Ive completely defied being classified in my school and hang out with just about every clique. When I start spending a little more time with a popular that starts to happen, random high-fives etc. People are weird

Consider me Miles Davis

I cant possibly understand why people fret over whos popular and whos not. all that matters are good loyal friends. Id trade 100 shitty preppy friends for one good one. No offence to people who value popularity but all that matters are good friends Not whos "cool" or not.

smokin weed is cool,, im not one to pass judgement on somone in relation to if they smoke or not,, but i deff talk to and get along better with people who smoke.

Yah thats pretty much what i was thinking. Just word of mouth sorta thing.

And yah i dont think im gonna smoke at school again. Its just too much of a risk.

And to LaidZeppelin, I was just talking about one class dude. I go to a strick Jesuit Catholic all boys school. So it might sound good but some of it sucks for sure dude. Although i gotta say i like all my classes except chemistry.:smokin:

youre not cool causae you blazd, youre cool cause you blazed in school during class. mad props to that

depends on how you look at it i guess...

if someone's smoking bud you know they're not some little bitch-snitch, especially done at school.... people who don't snitch=cool...

just the way i look at it i guess...

i'd much rather hang out with someone who i know smokes bud, then someone i know who hates bud... and not just cuz i'm a smoker either.... those stuck up preppy, anti-drug bastards are fuckin annoying...

The school I sub at- some of the 9th grade kids gather around when they're done their work, and we'll have serious discussions about guitars, classic rock, and pot without any prejudice, hate, or popularity bullshit- anyone is welcome to contribute. It's a very promising generation.

:thumbsup:

No, it just opens the door to many friendships that you couldn't get into. You may make a new friend, that doesn't mean that the whole school will be at your feet.

I think I'm 100x cooler and a generally better person because of the herb
