You would never guess that I have used pot for 40 years. I am a quiet, patient, 60 year old, grandmotherly woman. I'm one of many "invisible" pot smokers. I work in special education with the kids no one else will take on. I am quite artistic (I quilt, write, paint, sculpt in wood and clay, and hit the link in my sig for my latest project- not art, but quite a piece of work, never the less)! Most of my college papers were written while high and I graduated with honors! Lazy? No way in hell! Pot is a "mutable" high- you can toke and kick back OR you can toke and clean the house, create a work of art or whatever! Pot is what you make it! Don't blame the apathy on pot- place the blame where it belongs- on the individual!

"I guess I'm just honestly scared that once I get past the stage where pot can simply be regarded as a rite of passage (like that high school/college experimental phase), I'm still going to be doing it. I won't have outgrown it. and then it's going to hit me that I'm 30 years old, still toking everyday, sitting on my ass and typing into a weed forum, raving about my latest piece."


And have you ever heard of anyone ask "Will I grow out of alcohol?" Alcohol is also a rite of passage for that"high school/college experimental phase"! Funny how no one considers alcohol use after college "aberrant"! Even though alcohol is addictive and potentially lethal in it's effects, our society accepts it's use as "normal adult behavior"! Pot, on the other hand, is considered a "dangerous", immature folly!

Well, I am certainly past the high school/college experimentation phase. I find it stimulates my creativity, makes tedious work (like housework) less of a chore, eases my migraines and arthritis, and makes my life better in so many other ways! - Granny:hippy: (every day toker)
Storm Crow Reviewed by Storm Crow on . I'm scared I won't grow out of pot... first off, I love pot. but I've noticed that the majority of stoners I've encountered are all kinda.. pathetic. they're still living at their parents' house or at best a shabby little apartment, have gone to junior colleges for too long or have stopped altogether. they work at dead-end jobs, spending half if not all of their minimal paycheck on more herb. I dunno... maybe there's a whole 'nother world of stoners who carry on decent, productive, and respectable lives. I just haven't met them. Rating: 5
