is Internet suitable to find new friends?

Hey guys: question...

If the intention of this community is to bring people of the same interest together (by that i mean drugs of course :D ) and hoping that people find other people to whom they can relate, does that mean that Internet IS suited for making friends afterall?

I always think of people who visit datingsites and friendchats and stuff (and maybe even communities) as rather sad... Not being able to make 'normal' friends. Or as people who pretend to be really cool, while they are NOT cool at all in real life. Is this community different then, and why? Or are we just all a bunch of sad losers trying to find people like ourselves, not knowing if the person on the other side of the world is indeed the shroomloving person he says he is...

What do you think?

I think we all came here in the same common intrerest and there anre no posers of weed users on the site. But I agree to the online dating thing, thats just desperate, even chat rooms are based on sex. Dude , wtf. Let compy nerds be comp nerds, live your life.

That's kind of sad. I hear online dating is getting popular. Maybe it is smarter to have computers handle our genetic matrix. I dunno.

I believe that the majority of members are genuine to an extent im sure theres a few exagerations but thats not different than real life. Making friends is something completely different than dating. In terms of internet dating...thats when you know your really digging deep for possible matches.

I have a relative that has done the internet dating thing a few times... And not to be mean, but she's found the oddest wierdos i've ever be introduced to. I believe that people CAN find suitable dating partners that could lead to more...but those are all long shots.

I think that you are sad. You think that people who participate in online communities are SAD ....yet YOU are posting on one YOURSELF.

I think you're stoned.

Ive met people who I have met online...and all of them have been very nice people....I get quite a good idea if people are genuine or not if I chat to them a bit..

I dont really try to make internet friends if I dont plan on meeting them....unless of course they share the same interest and we chat from time to time...which I think is a good thing really....like here
allows you to speak to people from different cultures that you wouldnt normal have the chance to chat to like we do here.

We are all persucuted cause what we do, the big guys says its "illegal" fuck im stoned :stoned:

hey babygirl im sharing the same interests with you *wink wink*...so why dont you come a little closer...a lil bit more...hey im not a loser...LOLOLOLOL

no-more than meetin some psycho bunny boiling bitch in a bar, atleast online you can get to talk to them and get to know them a bit first :thumbsup:

and to reply to 420mory's original post, i have met many ppl here who i consider friends, some who have helped me in many different ways, but i don't let that interfere with my "real life" or my "real life friends"... but.. alot of my friends are busy with work and families and such, so posting here and talkin in the chat room fills my otherwise "boring" time.. in other words, i'd rather spend my time chatting to ppl from all over the world than to just sit and watch tv and become braindead.. that answer any questions? :D

ahhh I found my wife from ICQ,right now We've a little baby 3 yrs old:D

see now thats what i'm talkin about... <3 torbaci :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :D

Well I was contacted by a girl who comes on the boards and we met up, got on great and now we are good friends. I've met quite a lot of people off the net, some Ive stayed n touch with, some I havent. I do think you need to be careful , but the net isnt totally full of weirdos, you just have to take precautions and use your head

Excellent answer! Couldn't have said it any better. At least I don't think I could right now. lol:stoned: :stoned:

I figure the type of people that come to these boards are potheads it is cannibis.com some reasons why one would come here is to learn how to grow, noobs who have no idea where to find this information and the internet is there source, also people who are activists to the pro marijuana movement


wow im stoned

Finding friends on the internet isn't all it's cracked up to be....play it safe! Ever watch Strangeland?

I like the information here but also wanted to actually meet like minded people..so far..haven't actaully met anyone from this board..but there are good people I have met from other boards..some folks like stepping outside their own circle sometimes and even knowing your next door neighbor for years does not assure safety..I know what my "good" neighbors would do concerning mj..so I don't think it is a sad thing to attempt to meet new people that I have common interests with.

I prefer real life models. People I can stare in the eyes. Eyes never lie. You can never be sure that people will tell the truth on the internet, basically because they are never confronted face to face with the people they tell their stories. I would never be as gullible on the internet as in day to day life.

I do like the internet of course. You can find loads of information from reliable sources, if you take the time to look for them. And it's a great way of staying in touch with people you do not see regularly. I spent a year abroad and it's way to expensive to call everybody every now and then, but emails, yeah...

I agree with ya on that but make sure you have a friend with ya for at least the first encounter....better safe than sorry! That movie is kind of extreme but there are cases where younger people disappear because of internet encounters.

Play it safe and have a good one!:thumbsup:

I've met a lot of people offline, before. Only two from here. I've met all girls until the two guys from here. They're nice.

No because we dont really pretend to be cool do we and anyone who pretends to smoke weed on here that doesnt it just weird and sad.

Are we are not looking on the internet for other desperate people who are gagging for sex or marriage or whatever it is.

...i dont wanna be cool
...does eating mushies make a person cool?
...damn man, drugs arent for me, sorry

...

.

...

hey, i got this hookup, get a hunder dolla, we get dem mush dem mush dem funny mushrooms

Yes were all losers....the weed brought us here so we can all be high and vask in our loserness.Havn't you seen the commercials?

I'm depressed

i want to smoke again

that's why I came here and posted

nothings going on right now that's going good

it feels like everything I am doing is not going so well

Alright, you caught me me! I'm a complete fake, a loser, and I've never smoked weed in my entire life. I don't even know what it smells like, much less feel like after taking a huge bong rip. My eyes don't ever go red, my mind never opens, and I've never experienced the 'munchies'. :eek:

The only reason I come here is in attempt to look 'cool' because we all know that using mary jane is as cool as it gets, lol!

Are you serious?!!!

Marijuana has such a negative social stigma, it's no wonder why so many gather at a site like this. The real world reality is that MJ use is often looked down upon...

Is coming to this site and posting sad? NO! Is it needed? YES! Is it fun? ALWAYS!

I love this place! Aside from a few good friends who smoke, this is the only place I can come to, and just be myself.

LONG LIVE CANN.COM! :thumbsup:

hey man, im here cause i am a blubbering idiot, which smoking pot made
me...i have no life, cause of pot, and i have no ambition

Over 2,500 posts, I'd say that you have some drive, filetmignonballs.

Your right about young people..I see specials about Myspace ALL the time concerning pedophiles..and dateline even set some up..one guy brought his very young son with him to meet what he thought was a 14 year old boy etc...It was over 2 years ago when I last met someone from the net but I would again for the right person..I think predators know who to target and who not to..who will be missed..who has family..who will fight..etc..
