..do you consider yourself to be successful or on the path for success??
A dictionary describes "stoner" as:
One that stones.
Slang
One who is habitually intoxicated by alcohol or drugs.
One who is a delinquent or failure.
I AM habitually intoxicated by alcohol and drugs but am not a deliquent or a failure. How about you??
I'm a total delinquent but not habitually intoxicated by drugs, more like once a week or so, if I had money THEN I'd be intoxicated habitually, but would that make me a stoner? Because a dictionaries definition of stoners would say they have no money :wtf:
Balancing a heavy load of classes with good grades at UC Berkeley, hangin out with friends, and so far this week, I've smoked on Monday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday afternoon (made linear algebra hella more tolerable). Habitually intoxicated? Maybe a little. Delinquent or failure? Hardly. :jointsmile:
UCSD over here
im one that stones...
I prefer to stone people, with big ass rocks!
Nah, I'm not a stoner. I work and support myself, so who cares what I do on my free time. That's more than I can say about people who choose not to work. I mean, you see mentally challenged people working, and there are able bodies people out there who don't work at all! A retard is more successful than those people. Pathetic.
I smoke when the day is done though. When my job is done, my errands, all that stuff, then I sit back and smoke up.
yes im a stoner and a single parant and i workfull time in constuction, i dont think cos i smoke bud all day it stops me doing other thingswe have a good life holidays desinger cloths nice food pukka house so its cool and im a grower .peace :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
My definition of a stoner...hmm..
you know youre a stoner when....
1. the only reason you work is to score some bud, get by...and save enough to score some more "just in case"
2. Sometimes you dont want to go out at all, and all you want to do is just chill, but all of a sudden you get a call from your smoking buddy asking if you want to smoke. If youre reply is hell yea...
3. When hanging out with your friends, and you guys are doing nothing eventfull, you start to get impatient/bored and cant think of anything you'd rather do than to rip some bong hits/smoke a joint/smoke a blunt
4.There are a couple of numbers on your cell phone that are specifically "420 crowd" and the only reason you call one another is to either score some green or smoke..
5. When 420 comes around or you simply hear the term 420 and you automatically think of mary jane and how you wish you were coughing with her and sometimes make the attempt to smoke at 420 regardless of your location..

i smoke weed as in that sense of a stoner
but im also in the makings of havin a good career
currently in training
Well, I'm about to graduate from one of the top engineering schools in the country in a year and a half. So, I would say that I am, in fact, on the path to becoming a successful stoner. At this point though, I'm just your typical college stoner.
every definition fits me perfectly :( *goes to walk off a pier*
what are those kottonmouth kings lyrics like? "im not a stoner but I like to get stoned"? Yea thats me.....sorta....who am i kidding im a stoner.
i am a stoner, and i'm not exactly on the best path in life towards success...
but it has little to do with drugs (if any at all) i was bullied a lot in school, as a result, every school year i'd miss more than half it, refusing to go... (i got my ass kicked by the foot ball teams, half the class ect.. and brutally, it wasn' tjust like a couple trouble makers made fun of me...)
it ended up hurting me alot, life wise... grandma held me back in grades so my size/mentality could be greater then those around me, eventually led to homeschooling.... after putting in years of work, eventually i found out, it wasn't a program reconized by the state i live in..
so it was all for nothing... by this tiem i was 18+... i decided to go back to public school, had no problems, but my graduating depended on being enrolled in an accelrated program.. so i could graduate in 2 years instead of 4 (when you're 20, atleast in my state, state no longer provides school for you, reguardless of yoru grade, you have to pay for it day by day...)
so i'm 18, going back to the 9th grade (remember, homeschooling eventually came back as nothing, all those years of work were pointless because it wasn't reconized by my state...) so i went back to highschool, 9th grade, at 18... i had 2 years to graduate before we'd have to pay for it (at the time we coudln't even fathom affording it, i dobut we could even afford it now) eventually after a few months actually of doing everything i was to do, keeping A's my guidence counselor told me i wasn't goign ot be admitted into the accelerated prgoram and i was goign to have spend 2 years paying for my highschool education..
why keep goign after all that crap? i can't afford to pay for the last 2 year... no employer was ever going to be like "well, you don't have a high school diploma but you lasted til the 11th grade"...... so i threw in the towel then and there...
Slip- that sucks. Even if the state doesn't recognize it, ya still got an education and Im sure you could get a GED if'n you want to. But yeah, that had to be excruciatingly frustrating and I can't believe you put forth all that effort that you did.
I'm a stoner girl. I dunno if Im on what most would consider the path to success or not tho. I 'm not that into money, I'd rather have time to spend with my husband and daughter than spend all my time workin for stuff that I won't even remember I bought in 10 yrs. We make enough to own a modest house, 2 cars & go on vacation once a year and thats enough for me. I'm happy and therefore feel successful! I think when my little girl is grown and she's happy thats when I will really feel successful and satisfied tho.
yes it did suck.. and i do plan to get my GED.. just don't know when (haven't got around to it yet, not that i'm saying something like "who caresa bout a ged it's not important) but alot of places now won't even reconize that.... they want high school diploma's and nothign less >.<
anyways, where you at in texas? don't gotta give me an exact city (alotta people here are afraid to post that) i'm just on the outskirts of houston....
If you get a GED you can go to college, right? Back in the day I think you had to start at CC first and then could go to a 4 yr if you wanted. Good Luck, it is important to get all that stuff done just so you have options, but you got time, have fun :)
I'm in Fort Worth. I've only been to Houston area a couple of times, once to the Woodlands (Is that what its called??? cant member) and thru H to Galveston once. OMG, I didn't think we were ever going to get thru the city!
college.... LOL i'm married with a kid, and no transportation outta this shitty city... even if we managed to scrape up the money (or magicly got the help financially, which would really shock me since we're having a problem even keeping just over a 100$ a month in food stamps) i'd still have to find a way to the college.... of course we have a college, but shit... but i've seen people trying to get enrolled there and it'd honestly be easier to get enrolled in the FBI with no prior law enfrocement experience after serving a 10 year prison sentence for terrorism...
well i am in 10th grade in high school and i smoke weed about 10-20 times a month i currently have a 3.7 GPA and i plan to go to bowling green college when i graduate in 2 years to get a business degree in supply chain management .........so i think that smoking weed doesn't change who u are and changes your goals that depends on the person...........the people that smoke and fail at life is because thats what they think is important but i feel that weed doesn't change my goals but it may for some people
I am one that stones.
i failed at being habitually intoxicated by drugs, namely reefer. i dont smoke reefer anymore, so no i am not a stoner.
I guess im a stoner because i do a bowl at least once a day .. and well my grades just come out as CCDDE... when they should be AAABB.... :( but im determined to improve.. i'm also getting broke fast!
I guess I'm just not a stoner by definition lol.
I am a stoner. I am habitually stoned. if i could walk around with a thc patch on or a thc drip i would.
hmmmmmmmm thats interesting.
hash+ vegitable oil= MJ Patch ???
just a thought.
Funny story: before a started smoking my gpa was 3.0, now 2 years later of on and off smoking and its up to a 3.5 and rising. It seems that weed has caused me to want success more than ever. which is true, and i for the count, i WILL be successful.
I go to UCSD and I'm a mild stoner, maybe 2-3 times a week. Doesn't affect my studies though.
LOL, welll shit, I thought maybe you just went through all that. but Nope. Married w a kid, yup- you're screwed- for awhile anyways.Quote:

I smoke a couple bowls most every day, attend my first two hours of school stoned, have a 3.6 GPA and am accepted to the University of Advancing Technology in Arizona. :O (Is anyone else here going, or going to go?) I'm also the first woman in the state of Vermont to place in a states-level competition in Internetworking, am NetworkPlus certified, and I just plain love life. Thanks to weed.
If anything, I've noticed that weed makes me like[ everything that I do even more. My general enthusiasm for school is greater. I've noticed that supposed toking "delinquents" disliked whatever their particular adversion is to begin with, so I don't believe that weed turns anyone into a delinquent or lazy, dirty loser.
And slipknotpsycho, I totally admire you man. That's alot of unfortunate crap that you didn't deserve. 'Least you found bud. :D
Hmm, yeah I think so.
My parents went out, my friend came over, my brother was still at home, and my baby sister was asleep, guess what I did?
Went outside and smoked a good bowl.
then, at three in the fucking morning, one of my buddies calls me up and is like "We have weed, and we need your bowl"
And I ended up smoking with them too...
Plus, the first time I got high, I skipped school, and smoked in my back yard...
Yeah, I think I'm a stoner. But, i stil get good grades and such
Im in me senior year of highschool. I get stoned every day as much as possible. thats it.
By those standards, I guess that would make me a stoner. One, two, and three are so true for me. Plus, I think if ever given the chance, I would let my dealer do whatever the fuck he wants with my body.Quote:

No but really, I think of myself as a hardcore pothead. I guess other people would think that too. I don't know why I would have looked like one yesterday when i went to apply for a job, and the kid at the counter said, "they really do drug tests. But I think a guy didn't pass his and he still got hired." I thought that was really chill of him and I'm taking precautions and not smoking for a little bit because that story seems silly and I would rather work behind the pharmacy counter than the regular cash register, and they have got to be more stringent about it.
But I want to smoke him out. my first day.
