High Or Sober for rest of your life?
I'd rather be straight and have the option of using various substances if, and when, I decide to get high or stoned. When I was younger, I would have chosen to be high 24/7 - and there were periods in my life when I managed to do that.
I'm curious as to when the word "sober" started referring to not being high on weed? I guess I'm behind the times. Us "slightly older" people rarely used the term for anything but not being drunk on alcohol - except maybe as in, "It was a sobering experience", and similar phrases. The word "stoned" was used as a general description for any type of inebriation, as was "high", to a lesser degree - but it usually meant marijuana. The word "straight" had many drug/alcohol uses also, and could mean not drinking, or using other drugs, as well.
I think that the word "straight" was hijacked into the realm of sexual orientation, so it's not used so much for drugs or alcohol - unless it's something that makes the intent clear, like, "Hey, I was really stoned for a while there, but I'm straight now".
