I got 2 questions anwser them both please
Ok first of all as a kid i was totally anti drugs, i always told myself I will never do drugs, there stupid and gay ect ect. Jw if any1 else was like this
Second question is I could never picture myself as a "pothead" So if i smoke alot does that automatically make me a pothead? or no. in your own opinions for this 2nd question
I used to think harder drugs were bad, until it started snowin' and I understood the ways. Of course everyone in their younger lives' were agaisnt it.
You are whatever you label YOURSELF. If YOU want to be a pothead, so be it. If you don't, you're something else. Simple as that. :cool:
I think I was the head of my class in DARE. Kids aren't that bright, they'll believe whatever you told them. I used to believe in santa claus, the tooth fairy, and jesus.
Being a pothead is a lifestyle choice, and one that I chose not to be a part of. Just because you smoke weed doesn't make you a pothead. In fact, the more you live and the more people you meet who smoke weed, you'll find that most of the people who smoke are just normal, everyday people who need a small escape.
Oh, and to dannyman, PUTS is great.
I used to be VERY anti-drugs and cigs. Mostly because my parents smoke cigs. Now I smoke weed a lot and a good ol' cig everyone in a while. Everyone thinks I'm a pothead but i don't think I am.
completely agreed. i mean in my case, the only people who know i smoke everyday are my good friendsQuote:

I was COMPLETELY anti-drug. I hated drugs with a passion. My best friend loved to go out and get drunk every weekend, and she OCCASSIONALY smoked. I HATED it, and I would always give her a hard time for it, ya know?
I went to bed one night, and I was completely anti-drug that night but I guess I had some really warm dreams because I woke up and the first thought that came into my mind was, "....I need to smoke weed."
That was 2 and a half years ago. Haven't looked back since. =)
Btw, I think what makes you a pothead is when you would fuck over your friends and those around you that care for you, all for the drug.
And I, too, thought I would NEVER try harder drugs, even when I smoked but....cola is effing amazing. Which is why I never buy it. =/
I think EVERYONE was anti-drugs at one point. Its like graph said, kids aren't bright and will believe anything. And since we were all told "drugs are bad" at some point, we believed it for awhile. So in a sense, EVERYONE was like this at SOME point, even if you first smoked weed in the 3rd grade, i'm sure you were against drugs in kindergarden through 1st or 2nd grade atleast.
Depends what you consider a "pothead". Would going to school everyday make you a 'schoolhead'? I think not. Because what the hell is a 'schoolhead'.
laff...schoolheadQuote:

as for your other question, i don't consider myself a pothead, but everyone else at my school considers our crew the stoners. i guess i am cause i blaze like 5 times a day but i dont like to think of muself as one
Hi Bill,
1st question; No, I was never anti-anything. Typical 60's kid who wanted to experience it all. Especially as a musician; all the guys I hung out with were older, and I was always lucky to have access to experienced people, and had sense to listen and then make my own judgements.
Labels are what other people apply to those they don't understand. You're not defined by somebody else; you're defined by you. You're no more a "pothead" than you are a hippie, yuppie, schleppie, puppy, etc.
One best lesson in life - don't accept labels, they're never appropriate to the individual. Be YOU, and forget about how somebody else thinks they can reduce you to some neat little formula.

i dont care if people label me a pothead cuz i dont think theres nothing wrong with being one and im proud 2 be one
I think the term pothead is completely irrelevant to a specific lifestyle. I consider myself a pothead because I smoke every day, several times a day, yet it does not interfere with anything in my life, at all. Being a pothead isnt bad what makes it bad is the stereotype that alot of people give it, like a fucked up, worn out character that looks like britney spears on crack that can't read and shits on himself because he's hopeless,gimme a break. Accept it that you are all potheads too
YOU'RE A SCHOOLBOY!Quote:

Like most others, I too was wholeheartedly against smoking (cigs and herb). Eventually I just said 'fuck it,' and bit the bullet. Naturally it was a good decision. :D
Again, like others say, you are what you label yourself. If you don't want to be a stereotypical stoner, don't say "dude" and "man" after every word, and try to offset the negative health affects of smoking with an active and healthy lifestyle (exercise, eat well, vitamins, healthy relationships <-yes that is also important)
God damn, I sound like a freaking health text-book. But seriously, I should listen to my own advice, it's pretty good.
I've always said "dude" and "man" way before I started smoking. A lot of people who dont smoke say "dude" and "man".
According to wiki,
So don't eat fast food if you dont wanna be a stereotypical pothead!Quote:
Excess Taco Bell and Jack in the box food wrappers may be an indicator that someone is a pot head.
hahahaha word, MAN
i would never consider myself anti drug as a child, i know the lame ass DARE programs told me that all drugs are bad, i never paid much attention. (apprently or i wouldnt be here :rasta: )
i smoke a lot, i would not consider myself a "pothead" or a "stoner" im just a guy who smokes a lot of weed, i dont like labels. im me.
I guess I was against drugs/cigs. I think I felt like I was too young, like it was too big of a deal to get into it, and it sort of... troubled me... to hear about others doing it.
I did things at my own pace. But eventually you begin to understand how adults work, how it feels to be manipulated or controlled, and to learn that your life is your own.
Strange thing is.... Even when I was reallllly small, I always knew I wanted to expirience smoking. I always wondered what it felt like, knew I'd try it one day. (cigs). It just seemed so strange. Curiosity promotes life.
im very hot and cold about the subject. as im sure alot of us are. your probably alot like me in this sence. all through middle school i was very anti drugs. i wanted to be the only kid in my highschool who graduated without ever smoking weed. that lasted about 6 months when i discovered how amazing marijuana truly is.
ive learned to accept it as a plant and do not consider myself a "pot head" even if i do think it gets a little out of hand soemtimes. in which case i just take a couple weeks off from the bud.
but man if you just smoke it peacefully, with some friends or to have a chill night at home theres absolutly nothing wrong with accepting weed as the plant that it is. only when you become dependent, or abuse it as a "drug" do you become a pothead in my opinion.
youve got soem good stuff here man. except for the shit about saying dude and man thats bs. i know plenty of people who dont blaze and say dude/man all the time even tho it is a bit stereotypical. but yea man as long as you live a healthy lifestyle you are who you are. if you truly believe you are not a pothead you arent. fuck whatever other people say. they cant understand, they are not you. read the marijuana manifesto posted by thecurious1, its stickied in one of these sections of the forum.Quote:

But now I'm back to the chronic, and if I were to label myself a pot head now, you bet I am one!
Wow ya, um I ramble....
i didnt know anything about pot or drugs at all when i was growing up
i was in my early 20's when i first smoked weed
totally fell in luv with it
labeling
its kinda like human nature 2 label
u do what u do
what others say about ur smoking
should not bother u at all
u r what u want 2 b
stay high
Dude, come on it was a joke, man. :stoned: ;)
Yeah, I used to pass on grass because I thought (had been brainwashed repeatedly) that it was bad. When I finally starting researching it myself, through the help of this site probably the most I realized I should try it and that I would be fine. I smoke every day, multiple times, when I have it so I'd classify myself as a pothead. I feel that term has certain derogatory connotations, however. I prefer the word stoner.
I was really against drugs when I was younger, when a member of my familly was drinking beer or something, I would pick up the glass and throw it on the ground.
I use to think drugs would turn you into a monster. Well iam 19 i smoke pot almost everyday and the only monster looking thing on me is my hand thats been that way since birth. I live in a rich neighborhood, i go to a good school, i dont get in trouble i make ok grades, i dont steal even though some damn kids stole my speakers from my truck BUT anyways. No just because you smoke doesnt mean your a pot head. a pot head is someone who will do anything to get their fix. Steal pawn sell other things you know. I dont think of my self as a pot head just s weekend toker. Never tried other drugs just pot well except tabs but that was from surgery. Sometimes we all need to escape whats going on and relax. Somedays just need to be forgotten.
1. Yes, I was like this growing up. I sucked down everything the DARE cops told me and swore I'd never do drugs. As I got older and more confident in thinking for myself, I made educated decisions as to what I would and would not do.
2. IMO, a 'pothead' is someone whose life revolves around smoking. Someone whose day is not complete unless they 'wake and bake' or they have to smoke every hour, on the hour. Not to say there is anything wrong with that, to each their own. But like with alcohol, would you call someone that has two beers a day after work an alcoholic?
i think most people were anti drug when they were young because thats what was preached into us.
why is it a lot of people thinkpothead is offensive but stoner isnt?Quote:

Heroin is imo the pits , anyone thinking of using it needs to be slapped.
Alcohol is poison imo and should only be used moderately.
As for meth and crack you can keep them as I like myself too much to have done anything other than try them once, cocaine is my twice a year excess and thats how it's going to stay
Stoner ?? I suppose to some that's what I am , but I'm a lot of other things too , being me is all that matters to me not someone elses idea of who I am.

no one should be ashamed of smoking the herb{BEING A POT HEAD}in my opinion.
Man,
Been called Stoner, Head Spammer, Pot Head, Steam Train ... and I am sure there are a whole lot more derogatory!! Not one of them offends me ... insulting someone does not prove your worth, it emphasises your ignorance...
:rasta:
thats pretty much my story and opinion too. cept i slept through every dare class. :DQuote:
