How open are you about the fact you smoke?

BUILDING
Americans are behind the times in terms of cannabis economy. The Dutch, Hungarians, and French already use cannabis as a resource (in fact over 30 countries worldwide already cultivate hemp for industrial purposes). Now in France a concrete substitute from hemp is being developed, and is the start of a giant undeveloped industry for cannabis. Hemp construction for houses and building could provide shelter for everyone, and not just concrete. Hemp fiber and pulp can be processed into drywall or plywood. Cannabis can be used to make particleboard, cabinetry, paneling, and other home construction materials. Using hemp for building would save trees and create new jobs. We could literally build a house from Hemp.

LIP, I bet there would be some way to make concrete either stronger, or less brittle by incorporating hemp fibers...maybe?

Also, I also bet that a bunch of concrete truck drivers & deliverers have lost their jobs simply because they failed a drug test...that is discriminatory IYO, innit?

I tried.


Edit: Oh, shit, psteve beat me to it...and even has a link...I suck. :sadcrying

If you know me and aren't my boss you know I smoke.

this is a good thread.
when i first started smoking i was very hush-hush about it. i never spoke about it in public, never ventured in public while high, never wore anything sporting any maryjane references. as i got older and maryjane started becoming an important part of my life, i loosened up a little. i lost that beginners paranoia and started worry less about being stoned in public and bought a belt covered with leaves. i still dont speak loudly about it in public, but if the subject arises between friends, i dont hesitate to chime in. but i dont go walking around, proclaiming my love for the leaf. i realized after a while that my granola hippy look and way of life sorta alludes to my precious past time, people can tell by lookign at me or speaking with me that i probably smoke up on a regular basis. and thats okay with me because while stoners dont always have the best reputation, i usually dont upset anyone and folks find me intelligent and likeable.

It's not something that I just bring up if the person doesn't know about it already. If we happen to just talk about it I won't deny the fact, I'm really open about it but I just don't promote it like it's every ones business. Not really all that serious. It's just weed, and yeah I know people that scream about that shit and it just annoys me. I don't talk about growing at all. I deny everything I know about it lol. It's an innocent thing but I don't trust people with that type of info.

I agree with never speaking of growing. I don't even mention to people that I hope to one day grow.

If someone asks me whether I smoke, I'll be honest with them about it. I'll also do my best to promote it and shoot down anti-MJ propaganda. I regularly do bong rips in my room, and I'm not too cautious about covering up the noise. Marijuana has helped me a lot, and I'm no longer ashamed about smoking it.

I'm not sure if my mum knows that I do, but I figure the "Canadian Snowboarding Team" t-shirt I brought home that has a pot leaf on the Canadian flag was a big clue... She's cool though, and she trusts me to make my own decisions, which is great.

Hell, my boss is growing some plants for me this summer (I think).

At least around here, smoking trees is looked at as nothing more then smoking a cigarette, so of course I could give a shit less. I'll light a blunt outside my house in the busiest part of the city, doesn't bother me. I always joke with my mom and family about it, and most of my friend's smoke. My family is huge and basically everyone gets drunk at family parties, so they can't really say much about weed...plus all I would have to do is print a few things and that would be that. Over this past year, it's become effortless to shut someone up due to such positive studies.

With that being said, I still wouldn't say I'm very 'open' about it...but that's only because it's not a big deal to me at all...the way I handle it actually does have an effect on people though, because they know I'm smart enough to know if it's bad for me or not.

And considering OC's and dope have taken over coke and weed in my city [which is a shame, most people could keep coke to the weekend, but then the opiates put people in rehab and the whole nine]....weed just isn't so bad anymore, it's pretty much considered a good thing if you're only smoking weed around here.

apparently it doesnt matter, at my graduation party everyone said i looked stoned in my grad pic, which i wasnt. so i denied it and they all said i was lying and they werent stupid. but nobody cared.

apparently everyone knows i smoked for the past year but i was oblivious to the obviousness of it.

ohh well, i dont really try and hide it anymore.
