Has this happened to ne one else?? RE: losing friends over pot

So get this, i started smoking pot back in april of 07, bout 6 months ago. Ne wayys it was all fun cuz i got my closest friends to smoke with me and we did a lot like every night during the beginning of the summer. WE HAD MAD SESSIONS like at first we had no tolerance and would smoke like 2 joints of some dirt weed and get BLOWN! :rastasmoke: , well me and 4 of my closest friends would smoke all night every night cuz none of us had shit to do and we all had part time jobs etc.

Well my point is, all of them cut back on smoking, and didnt wanna do it everynight, soo i kept on smoking everynight cuz it made me feel great and i love it. THen 1 night none of them wanted to smoke ne more, they would be like "o umm i'm just not feeling good " or some b.s. soo i would be like thats straight etc.

So i started to hang out with other friends who smoked , and surlely but slowly my OLD friends who used to smoke with me , stopped calling me , started talking shit about me saying all i do is smoke and i'm not gonna do ne thing with my life etc. AND THAT REALLY FUCKING PISSED ME OFF i mean come on talk about hypocrytes!! First there gonna smoke with me for like 2 months then stop smoking and say that its gonna fuck my life up , i mean come on now!!

So all in all i dont talk to any of them ne more (mind u i've known them since 7th grade) , and everytime i hear from them they call me a fucking pot head, stoner etc. And they run their mouths to everyone else of who we graduated with :( saying that i'm a pothead etc etc.

I just think its b.s. and i love smoking dont get me wrong, but i'm really starting to consider if i never smoked in the 1st place would they still be my friends??

I'm just wondering if this has happened to ne one else, and what did u do to resolve the problem etc.


O and when they do call me a pot head etc and say all i do is smoke, i tell them that i'll hang out with them and not smoke if they ever call me to do something but, they never listen so i say FUCK EM:smokin:

ya it sorta happened with me its totally shitty

hey homie they kindA sound like bitches you know... the only people i know that would do that to me are bitches. you should twist up a SUPER phatty blunt then call them up and ask if they want to toke it with you. like back in the day when you all smoked. if they deny the buddress then its true then and you proved it. there bitches not to roll over and smoke that phatty blunt wit you. if you are a true buddress then you will call up some hotty&smoke it with her. Always remember spikey a friend with weed is a friend indeed!!

i just kinda made a thread in the rec section about my friend problems. I started smoking recently and im losing my friends already and it's making me feel like crap.

Well you have discovered one of the basic facts of life. Most people do not smoke pot. That is just the way it is.

I estimate about 75% of people reading this site, will not be smoking 2 years from now. Of course they will be replaced with new users and returning old users.

For most it is just a passing fad that they let go as they continue on in life. Sad but true. The remaining 25% of people here will smoke pot until the day they die. We are lifers.

If you are one of the 25% of true pot smokers, I suggest you get used to smoking alone. Also, learning how to grow will help keep you in weed.

Not trying to be a drag, but there is a reason this is the sub culture.

As a business owner I cannot smoke with any people I know. It is just not accepted. So I smoke and live this part of my life in secret. I have to much to loose if others find out and are not cool with it.

It's a load of shit. kinda happened with me too but they're not true friends if they don't understand YOU.

Don't worry too much about it. Hypocrites. Think if it wasn't weed, what else would it be next?

well look at it from tehre perspectitve.. your basically ditching them to be with smoker friends... you should probally cut back a little and when your not smoking hang otu with them and if u are smoking hang out with ur smoker friends

thye never were decent friends. Get over them, let them be wankers , coz thats all theyll ever be.

A friend will like u regardless of ur habits, they like u on ur personality and clearly these old "friends" of urs are judging u entirely on wat goes into ur lungs n not what flows out of ur mouth ;) u could b the nicet dude around, u know wat im sayin?


Let bitches be bitches, enjoy ur new friends n make the most of the AWeesommee times to come with them :rastasmoke:

ya i agree man you need better friends then. maybe im lucky but all my friends from before i started smoking we all tried it and all love it and we all have been smoking every day for a few years now. and even if they didnt like it if they were really friends they would accept it and wouldnt not hang out with you just cause you smoke

Yeah, there are a few people I know whom I considered friends until they found out that I smoke, and now they don't talk to me anymore. They want to look down on me for doing this, fine. Fuck them.

Find people that do what you do, or if they don't, accept what you do. That is if you don't want to hide what you do.

If you hide what you do, those people will probably find out sooner or later.

Fuck the people that you thought were your friends. Fuck the people that think they're better than you because of what you do.

when i was in highschool i switched from a not so nice group of friends who partied and were kind of jerks, to a really nice group of friends. but i smoked pot, and drank, and partied on the weekends with other people because my friends didnt go out and party on weekends, or even get together really. they were super nice people, good people. the kind of people you could trust with about anything. kept me out of trouble most of the time, but they didnt smoke pot or drink until they went to university, some still dont. so for a good portion of highschool i smoked alone because my friends wouldnt have tolerated it. i still dont talk to them about it.

i have friends who smoke now and roommates who do.....but i accept there will be a time in a few years when im done school and have a career and i know i will be smoking it by myself. and im cool with that, i dont mind being high by myself, i kind of enjoy it actually. socially its a blast dont get me wrong. but i like to get stoned and go on msn, watch a movie, play video games, work on my art, play piano, do school work....its not so bad you know.

a true freind dont turn his back on you.
all my real freinds are smokers for life execpt 1. and this cat execpts me no matter what i do. the dude even lets me blaze when im at his pad. i have enough respect for him to go outside but still he dont mind. my other freinds have been stoners together since we were in like the 7th grade. we hung together all the time. hell i even had a couple bosses that didnt mind my habits and one used to let me smoke in the shop that i worked.

I dont think they were your friends to begin with anyway.
Thats not right for them to say negative things about you out of no where.
Maybe they didnt like how the weed was making them feel, idk...

The majority of my close friends would never even consider smoking weed. They distanced themselves from me for a good portion of a year, then before graduation they just kind of accepted it. They don't want me to talk about it or go on a "weed spiel". The only people I really smoke with are my boyfriend and acquaintances who I met because I smoke weed. What I wouldn't give to pass a bong around with my best friends...I'd love to feel that. But it isn't ever gonna happen.

give them a buck fifty. they wont be able to talk for awhile:D:D

Dont worry about it,its all part of growing up.Its your life and your choices.friends come and go,weed will always be there as long as you want it to be.

I made lots of new friends thanks to the weed. And became closer to old friends :)

man...my best friend doesn't smoke, he can't stand it (he has better reasons than just because...childhood association thing) so I just don't do it around him, he knows I do it, but we're still best friends and have been since middle school...Now we're both out of high school, fucking with college and jobs and whatnot, we couldn't be closer. in my opinion if friends have a problem with something you choose to do recreationally, then fuck em, they ain't no real friends...there's tons of shit my friends do I don't agree with and vice versa but it don't stop us from being close friends.

as a rule, friends are always temporary. maybe if you're lucky you'll have a friend or two that will always be in your life, but it's better to learn as early as possible: you are your only friend.

There might come a time when you can't feasibly carry on a friendship with someone, for reasons such as idealogical differences, maturity differences, etc. I think the most common reason friends stop being friends is because one of them is taking more than the other. There needs to be a continual equilibrium of giving and taking. A big part of friendship is the favors you can provide one another. The right mentality to have is: I will do all I can for you if I am in the position to do the favor, but bad things happen when you start to keep track of favors rendered.

Favors friends provide each other need to be relatively easy. It just so happens that one friend is in a position to provide something that the other cannot. This principle prevails much more as you get older, as you move away from friends and expand your interests into broader areas.

Enjoy the memories of old friends, enjoy making new friends, but don't feel bad when you part ways; nothing is more natural.

These points don't really relate to the original ideas, but this is what I know to be true.

Yeah same story differenet version here. When me and my highschool friends finished senior year we hung out alot at my friends house that him and his brother stayed at. Well I was working full time and shit and we would all hang there everynight but I didnt feel like I fit in there anymore. None of us were skateboarding anymore. All they did was play ps2 and sit around. I started buyin weed and smokin up in the back yard and shit but then they all started sayn thats all I did and told fuckn everyone and talked mad shit. Well Im fuckn sorry I didnt feel like sitn around watchn people play video games, go cruze around town at night pointlessly, and hang out at fuckn walmart. Well to make a long story short I hung with other pot heads got really fucked up and had good times did other drugs to, It was fun. I did it for too long and didnt do really anything else so I got my shit together and now Im happy doing stuff I like and making different friends. part of growing up.

The same thing happened to me. except none of my friends smoked and they would call me a pot head. and now they smoke, and i always bring up back in middle school when they didnt smoke. Then there like, i cant believe i didnt smoke with you back then.

Never let your problems get you down,
gotta stay focused and hold your ground,
though it seems hopeless,
there is no progress,
we still a hustle round town.
We do what we do so we stay alive,
we sell what we sell so we haffi (have to) survive,
we tired a the f*ckry and we fed up from (a)'bout 95

-- Basically, FK em! FK em as hard as you can. So what if you blaze up from 9 til 5?
Just moderate it and get on with your life. People come and people go. From I passed 14 years old I realised I didn't have no friends and that was partly because my opinion of people was changing on a day to day. Now people are just associates. I associate myself with them. When sht hits the fan I can just as easily disassociate myself with them.

I just finished helping a non-smokin pal boost his harvests from 1000 to 30,000 spendable currency every 90 days. He has the audacity to shut me out. He didn't have a 48" plasma tv when I met him. lol... People you least expect often turn out to be bitches and bitch all day. FK em!

No time to waste, no time to loose. Straight out of part 1 in to the part 2s. FK em! Get on with you life, make something of yourself personal to you and smoke what you will. Only people unsure of themselves allow others to define their own character. If it's in your character to toke joints, who is any one (law included) to tell you other wise? FK em! I cannot emphasise FK em enough right about now because I feel your sentiment

Sad. I'd always value my friends over a drug.

i lost all my good buddies over pot 3 years ago:cursing: i new them sins daycare shity o well fuck em:cool:
