does anyone not like giving off that "stoner" vibe??

[Reefer Rogue]

i try not to.
i smoke at least once a day but i can handle my highs pretty well, to the point where i won't look high to other kids (when i'm at skool..)

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

It seems too me you care to much what other people think of you. I believe you are being overly self conscious. Each to their own, however. I have no reason to be ashamed of smoking cannabis, if people hate, then let them. I shall continue to love. Peace to all, and may those who wish to toke, be in possesion of copius amounts of ganja.

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

i act myself but im usually high around 2 times atleast in 1 day in school so peopl always see me with red eyes no1 says much but most know im high or trippin on sumthing, but its already gotten past the point of any1 being like "look at that dumb stoner" or stuff like that they mostly dont give a fuc k and will lauggh if they see me trip out or sumthing and i usually dont give a fuck and just trip outand enjoy my high i class haHA

i ussually dont give off a stoner vibe unless im sober, like in my first period this past semester i went to school high every week 3/5 days and ussually the only time people ask me if im high is when im sober because im not a morning person and for some reason smoking herb is the only thing that wakes me up and gets me in the mood for school. Like if i go to school high i think better because im on my toes and shit and also i do all my work. but for some reason when im sober at school im ussually burned out from the night before and im super tired and everyone ask me an i high and im just like naw im sleepy. then i laugh and say some shit like why when ever im high everyone thinks im sober but the only times im sober is when people assume im high. but yeah like 3 of my friends in that clase smoke and are always high too so its not a big deal if people known i'm high i could care less.

but for the lazy stereotype i always bust peoples bubbles. well really i cant even think of the last time someone used it on me. Im always active high or not, i love playing basketball. even when im high its hard for people to stop me and i still hold the same amount of energy that i have. I believe smoking is like a mind over matter thing, ussually the only people that have a stereotype for them are the people that would do something and just let the high control them.

Yeah I don't like the stoner stereotype.. the whole 'afroman' conception. Some people really buzz off it, not me.

My whole town basically knows ima stoner. People I havent even met tell me they've heard I smoke and sometimes it bites me in the ass cause it gets back to my mom and makes for a uncomfortable talk between her and another parent, but its all good. 5mok3 w33d.

People thought I was a stoner, before I was a stoner...

Same. Personally, I started smoking weed with a select few people out of the people I hang round with. Now, we openly smoked bongs, blunts, spliffs etc. together. However, I decided that I preferred to smoke 100% alone. Now, I'm called a stoner by most of my friends, and i've even had heated debates with friends about cannabis. My views on drugs are extremely strong, and there's no doubt that's led to conflict, but my friends still find cannabis a critical aspect of my life, irrelevant of the facts, they're correct.

My best friends accept my usage, and have even tried it themselves.

All in all, I wouldn't really like to be considered a 'stoner', but i wouldn't care much. :/
