annyways, i just wouldn't like being labeled a "stoner", at least the typical lazy one. i wanna smoke like a stoner, but have none of the other stereotypes fit me.

i know a lotta kids even exaggerate stuff to seem more like a stoner, and they LOVE being "that stoner kid", but i wanna stay away from that.

and i have been able to do that for like half a year now.
the good thing is, kids see me and be like "eh, i guess weed doesn't mess u up at all. he does it all the time, and he's fine." so i've had several convert-ees.



anyone else try to not appear like the typical stoner? or r u happy w/ what the herb makes u? haha
I was very self conscious about being referred to as a "stoner" and was very weary of whom knew I smoked around and tried not to smoke around people who'd be highly judgmental towards me for doing so.. But you know what? I soon thought "fuck it" and gave in, and yeah... I got the stereotype for a bit... I got the "gym junkie now true junkie" for a while.

Now, people accept the fact I smoke Ganja and it's never brought up anymore, and when I'm high around them (which isn't often anymore as I smoke usually alone at home to relax or sometimes have a big weekend sesh - rare though) they'd know and not really say anything besides, "aha, you high man?".

It just comes down to difference and change... People are always going to be subjective to difference or change, but soon it becomes a norm for them and it won't be such a 'hot topic' anymore; just like new hair styles

I've smoked basically everyday for about 7 months now, and after 3-4 months I noticed me going a bit "groggy" I guess, but then somehow i've adjusted and smoking doesn't get me in a low anymore... We'll see how it is when I decide to have a long term break though :wtf:

I think it's more the fact people think you are turning into a 'LOSER' as people directly associate someone who smokes weed as a "stoner" and instantly a stoner is described as a lazy no hoper etc.

My mates thought I was probably going downhill and it was a bit of a surprise for me to take it up I guess, but through the curing of time, my friends have learned to understand it hasn't impacted on me negatively in any way.

My school, work and health aspects have all improved immensely during this time to, not saying the weed has helped, but it didn't interfere.

Anyways, I'm going out to the patio to cook some chicken and smoke some bongs now
