Have you ever smoked pot?

[WI_DEM]

Just a nice little (hopefully) non-controversial poll.

[...of J.Temperance]

1. Yes and my parents

I still do smoke pot every now and then.

I should also like to point out, that I FIRST smoked pot with my parents. My Momma gave me a joint, when I was 14 years-old and we all just sat there and smoked joints.

I love my parents, they're so hip and cool, I'm VERY lucky to have such open-minded and enlightened parents.

On Edit: Parents added.

[Greyhound]

138. Me too. Once they found that I was toking, they told me to get it

from them so they would know what I was getting and doing.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

2. What? WHAT?????

DID YOU SEE THOSE BIRDS?

You gonna finish that cake?

[rzemanfl]

15. Kool Aid went good with a little mary jane and cake, before it got

a bad reputation. Kool Aid and cake and Sgt. Pepper on the stereo...

[OldLeftieLawyer]

29. What didn't?

I'm pretty sure I drank Windex thinking it was blue Curacao.

Oh, I miss those days .........

[...of J.Temperance]

32. Jesus, Mary and Joseph! You're EVEN more WAY ahead than my

Folks were ;)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

34. Honey,

no offense, and I'm sure your parents are great people, but trust me when I tell you that it will take the light from wherever your parents were 10,000,000 years to catch up to where we perched.

[...of J.Temperance]

53. Well

I have to hand it to you then :toast:

I've often talked to my folks about this kind of stuff, it's always a fun and interesting conversation :)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

68. You know what?

It sounds like you've got absolutely EXCELLENT parents.

Tell them they did a good job with their sweet kid ............;)

[...of J.Temperance]

79. Aw what a honey pie you are :)

My parents are FAB, I can ask them anything and tell them anything, talk to them about anything. I'm very lucky, I'm glad I was born to them...glad I didn't end up getting Fundie parents or something.

Your parents obviously did a good job with their sweet kid too ;)

[proud2BlibKansan]

60. I am (was) right up there with you, Leftie

And how I too miss those days.

[rzemanfl]

44. Spinach, brussel sprouts, limburgher cheese? n/t

[OldLeftieLawyer]

48. Well, yeah,

they were routinely found buried in our bags of Cheetos.

We ate them, too.

[LostinVA]

56. WE made super bongs out of two-liter Coke bottles and tubing

One would be the carberator... OMG, it was soooo fun. Talk about being toasted.

Even now, give me a toilet paper roll, some foil, and 20 seconds - bong. Or a Coke can -- bong!

The good all days when a huge bagful would only be a small fine and a slap on the wrist....

[Jazzgirl]

70. Take me back!

Okay...I got a couple of coke empty coke cans sittin' here.... }(

[OldLeftieLawyer]

74. Artists like you

so often go unappreciated in their lifetimes - like Van Gogh.

OldLeftie, however, knows a good thing when she sees it, and awards you ::::: drum roll :::::::::

THE PUSSYCAT!

[LostinVA]

107. Thank you, OLL! I love the Pussycat!

Although some weed for Thanksgiving would have been nice, too... ah, for the days when it wasn't a felony, and I wasn';t afraid of going to priosn....

[nookiemonster]

80. Toilet paper rolls are great in a pinch.

They're known as "steamrollers" in these parts.

Who says stoners aren't creative?

:shrug:

[misternormal]

84. We called them "shittercores"...

They were cheap. quick and easy to get rid of. :smoke:

[dogfacedboy]

134. LOL !!! When it came to creating a device for smoking,

I was known amongst my friends as "MacGyver".

[...of J.Temperance]

90. I'm learning ALL kinds of stuff from this thread...what ARE you trying

To lead me astray or something, huh? ;)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

110. It's about tradition, child

The great traditions of the elders are passed down to the younger generation while we wander off, looking for chocolate. Or something.

[LostinVA]

116. Or winding up in the dorm laundry room when we thought we

were waiting for the pizza guy out front.

Scary thing? All of us are now "respectable" and "professional": lawyers, teachers, librarians.... scary,

Another thing, Grasshopper: hemostats make great roach clips. Just expect a call from your parental unit asking where the hell their hemostats went and to mail them back TOMORROW. When they do call, don't laugh and say you don't have them while you're also taking a hit from a joint while using same hemostats.

[...of J.Temperance]

119. Heck

You're obviously a complete doll :hug:

I'm ALL for this kind of tradition, what this threads about :bounce:

[Patchuli]

130. Old Hippie Traditions

Don't forget another important Thanksgiving tradition! Find out which radio station near you is playing 'ALICE'S RESTAURANT!' Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without it. I hear the Sirius Channel Spectrum 18 is playing it nonstop!

[laylah]

102. Actually...

Milano cookies, very cold milk, and the Nitty Gritty did it for me :hippie:

Jenn

[Nordmadr]

23. Oooohhhh...I think I have fudge covered oreos downstairs...N/T

[OldLeftieLawyer]

30. Yeah, see, but .........

...... who's gonna get up and go down and get them and then REMEMBER TO COME BACK UPSTAIRS?

[Nordmadr]

35. Damn....distractions....N/T

[OldLeftieLawyer]

38. See? SEE?

IT'S THE BIRDS!

If I catch one, I bet it tastes good.

[Nordmadr]

42. LMAO!! N/T

[mike_c]

28. marumph, umph pa (chew chew chew)....

Did you say cake?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

31. Cookies will do

Or paper towels with Thousand Island dressing.

The munchies. What a work of art they were.

[Jazzgirl]

72. My favorite was a slab of ribs from Gates BBQ in Kansas

City. A whole slab....I weighed 92 lbs. back then.....I sure could eat especially when the munchies hit!

[OldLeftieLawyer]

76. Arthur Bryant was ours

Oh, man, we made such total fools of ourselves in that great old place.

Winstead's burgers, too.

Oh, shit, I miss that. Remember eating and eating and always being so skinny?

Maybe it's not too late for me to become a crackhead?

[LostinVA]

58. Hey, man, that was really funny.... huh? WTF are we talking about?

Man, where's the pizza? It's gone. Oh. Give me the bong. Hey, where's the pizza? Is it gone?

[Jackpine Radical]

65. Hey, did someone order pizza?

What's this box with all the grease and red stuff on it? When did we order the pizza? Hey, should we order pizza? Jeez. There's a funny smell in the room. When's the pizza gonna be here?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

78. Hey, man .......

You gonna eat that box?

[Jackpine Radical]

82. Birds? What birds?

You can have the box after I get this melted cheese off it. Should we order a pizza?

Hey, lookit those birds.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

87. I am laughing so hard

Somewhere around here I have a tape of me and two friends eating something while we were stoned. This tape is about 30 years old.

I listened to it once, and it was so incredibly boring and stupid, I got embarrassed. But, it was also so funny, I cried.

Now, I just realized that one of the guys on that tape has left this earthly domain, and I can hear his voice again, if I dare to play that tape.

I might. It might be nice..........

[LostinVA]

111. OMG! I have an old tape too -- about 22 years old

You can barely hear it now... four of us on Halloween, toasted on some great NC buds. We sounded sooo lame... and every five minutes or so, one of us would say, did you hear a noise? Check the door, man. Is it the cops???

[OldLeftieLawyer]

114. Yep

My dog was under the table, and we kept thinking she was Dorothy Hamel. Disguised as a camel.

That kept coming up in the "conversation."

There are lots of slurping sounds. And long, long stretches of silence.

[chknltl]

143. suggestion:

roast a bongload in Friends honor first. I am willing to bet that the people whose voices are recorded on that tape, (if by some trick of magic), were to appear before you, this is exactly what they would suggest.

(note to self thirty years from now: "go ahead, have bong hit")

[LostinVA]

109. Man, you know what would be good right now? A pizza.

Where's the phone. You call. No you! They'll know I'm fucked up, and maybe the dude answering the phone is really a cop or something. Okay. Hey, why the hell do I have the phone? Give me the bong.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

112. Hey..

You gonna eat that phone?

[Jackpine Radical]

125. Oh, lookit, man. Ol' Lefty's trying to play that greasy cardboard disk

on the hi-fi. She already forgot she was gonna eat it. Hey, why doesn't somebody order a pizza or something?

Oh, shit, what's that yellow light flashing out there? Oh, fuck, man, it's the cops! They got some kinda new squad car with a big roller brush on front.

[Nordmadr]

131. Alright, I'll call, but your answering the door. Look at my eyes....

[OldLeftieLawyer]

77. DID YOU SEE THOSE BIRDS?

What?

WHAT?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

3. Hell Yeah.

Course, Damn wife is against it as if it were crack, so I haven't done it in 5 goddamn years lol

[CatBoreal]

4. Yup...

Liked the effect, didn't like the taste so I never did it again. It's kinda like whiskey that way.

[bigwillq]

5. YES!

Use to be a totally stoner during college.

[BrainRants]

6. Yes, and I drank the bong water!

Ahhhh...the wonderful indiscretions of youth!

[PatrioticLeftie]

7. Never have done drugs, never will do drugs n/t

[...of J.Temperance]

12. Marijuana isn't drugs...it's not as if pot's heroin ya know! n/t

[maveric]

88. Pot and Heroin are in the same classification.

Class A controlled substance.
Pretty damn silly, aint it?

[...of J.Temperance]

93. Yes it's EXTREMELY silly

Considering nobody that I know, including myself, would ever THINK of going near bad shit like heroin.

But we've all smoked pot.

The classifications are completely retarded.

[chknltl]

144. Keeping pot ranked with heroin is not silly to these guys:

Pharmaceutical industry, Synthetics industry, Prison and jail industry. They all profit well by keeping pot illegal.
As long as "silly" American voters buy into the spin on this topic supported by these industries then pot will remain 'demonized'.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

14. Well! Isn't that special!

[PatrioticLeftie]

36. SNL? I'm not too familiar n/t

[LostinVA]

59. It's pot -- much less harmful than alcohol

[misternormal]

85. Never went to a pot party where a fight broke out...

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

94. I'll bet you have.

Aspirin?
Caffeine?
Alcohol?

[Greyhound]

136. Good for you, many people shouldn't, and I applaud your self-awareness n/t

[MrSlayer]

8. Haven't smoked yet today.

Yet, being the important word.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. I can't remember....

Got any food?

;)

[ohio_liberal]

10. I smoked it about a dozen times in high school

Once recently. Never really cared for the effects but it sure did clear up a migraine.

[dogfacedboy]

137. I haven't used aspirin for a headache in years.

A couple o' hits, and no more headache.

[indepat]

11. This poll isn't scientific, but the criminalization of what 88% have done

is insane, RW insanity.

[Canadian Socialist]

13. Smoked a bit back in the '70s

Never liked it. Always made me feel nauseous. To this day, even the smell makes me feel like throwing up. However, loved the LSD back in the '70s. So, basically, I love the chemicals... not so fond of the naturals.

[davidlynch]

16. Of Course, I Grew Up In The United States in the 70's n/t

[TomClash]

17. The hookah smoking caterpillar said

feed your head.

[driver8]

18. uhm...what was the question?? Oh yeah...pot. Yes, I have smoked

it and enjoyed it!

[...of J.Temperance]

26. Hey driver8

Have you smoked pot...huh? :spank:

[driver8]

61. Yes, but I don't smoke it anymore. It makes me very sleepy...

Plus, I am a respectable member of the community now...I need to act like it.

[...of J.Temperance]

63. Oh

Okay...:evilgrin:

[IntravenousDemilo]

19. I decline to answer, on the grounds that it may incriminate me. n/m

[sinkingfeeling]

20. No, and I was in my teens and twenties during the 60's & 70's.

[no_hypocrisy]

21. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Don't tell my father . . .

[Hardrada]

22. Suure thing

Looong ago. Let's order a pizza? Why don't you girls put on that Moody Blues record and lesssee what happens.

[Fountain79]

24. Never have smoked it....

Never really had the right opportunity presented to me. It was either offerred in the wrong place,(college dorm) or at the wrong time(when I was really, really drunk). Now it's a liability for me to try it, my curiousity is not worth getting caught and having a devil of a time finding a place to teach.

[nini]

25. once when recommended by a doctor

I had a somewhat brutal procedure and the doctor said to smoke a joint to help with the pain. That was the only time. I don't quite get the mass appeal to where I risk legal hassles, but to each his own.

[killbotfactory]

27. not yet, but I'm an alcoholic!

pot would be a healthier alternative.

[Nordmadr]

33. How about some lyrics?

BEN HARPER LYRICS

"Burn One Down"

Let us burn one from end to end,
And pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow,
To light me up before I go.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

Herb the gift from the earth,
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before you knock it try it first,
Oh, you'll see it's a blessing and not a curse.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one, oohhh.



Are you gellin? :)

Olaf

[meganmonkey]

37. I'm gellin'

that's one of my favorite pot smoking songs. And there are many good ones

:smoke:

[Nordmadr]

40. Nice...N/T

[frylock]

39. not today..

not yet, anyway.

[NewJeffCT]

41. Wow, I thought I was nearly unique in not having smoked pot

I'd be all for its legalization and all, but it has no appeal to me. I've never even taken a puff on a regular cigarette, let alone a marijuana joint. And, while I occasionally drink alcohol (as in a few drinks a year), I never have been drunk.

[SharonRB]

43. I thought I'd be the only one saying "no."

[la la]

45. no, but

I do drink cheap wine!

[La_Fourmi_Rouge]

46. Never, never, ever, ever, No.

I have watched "Reefer Madness" I know what it can do to your brain 'n' stuff. Plus it makes you wear strange, geeky clothes and makes your hair grow long and smelly.

And plus it makes you do all them other bad things - sometimes all at once!!! Whoah, man!

[titoresque]

50. are you high?

:rofl: J/K :)

[devilgrrl]

47. Yes. So?

eom

[ms liberty]

128. Is that Kate Bush on your avatar? I love Kate Bush... n/t

[stray cat]

49. Risking getting arrested wasn't worth it.

Prison would've interfered with my career plans

[OldLeftieLawyer]

67. You had career plans?

Wow.

We were a little lax in that department. Our greatest goals were things like not letting our boys get drafted and seeing how many olives we could get in our mouths without biting down or choking to death.

[htuttle]

51. Sure,...but never at dusk.

[alfredo]

52. Does a bear shit in the woods?

[...of J.Temperance]

55. Is the Pope a Roman Catholic? n/t

[alfredo]

69. With those red shoes he wears, I'm not sure

what he is.

[...of J.Temperance]

73. Ahem

You asked for it, so here it is :spank:

Those Red Shoes do make them look like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" ;)

[HockeyMom]

54. Yes. Came of age in the 60's

Unfortunately, at least for me, all it did for me was put me to sleep.
Therefore, I can see the medical benefits for people who are in extreme pain.

As we used to say, "Different strokes, for different folks".

[hexola]

83. Me too!

[TomInTib]

57. Only since 1964. Even while in military hospital. nt

[Balbus]

62. Yes.

And I wish I could again.

[AussieDave]

64. Yes - but it was, like, whatever

- a nice trip, but wasn't anything to write home about.

Haven't been back there since (nearly 30 years ago in college).

[mikelewis]

66. Funny you should mention that...

wait.. what was I talking about?

[Rick Myers]

71. Today?

[Cleita]

75. Only smoked a couple of tokes and didn't care for it, but a friend

introduced me to groovy brownies, my dope of choice, and I could eat them at my desk.

:evilgrin:

[sepia_steel]

81. Yep

about a decade ago, for about a 3 or 4-month stint.

I don't miss it at all really; I lost interest in it, but I'm all for legalizing it.

edit: sometimes I think it would great to have some for my horrible neck pain before i go to bed. but I have no idea where I'd get it. Plus, I can't have it anyway now (bun in the oven).

[Cleita]

89. I find hot compresses on the neck help neck pain.

There are various types of gel packs or buckwheat collars you can heat in the microwave and wrap in a towel. I have also had good results wrapping a heating pad around a sausage shaped pillow and just sitting back on it.

[sepia_steel]

97. I do all that stuff, plus massages and whatnot.

but nothing worked on my back and neck better than a super-relaxed, pot-induced sleep. I'd use pot for medicine if it were legal (and if I weren't preggers)

[Cleita]

101. Yeah, that's too bad being preggers.

I don't know if you could even use Aleve or any of those pain killers. Well, look at it this way, when the pregnancy is over maybe you can probably get some relief when you have someone to help you with the baby.

That neck pain is a bitch. I know. I've been living with it for thirty years now. Scotch sometimes is my friend.

[Qibing Zero]

86. Nope. Now if the right situation comes up, would I? You bet.

Just never had any friends that were close enough that smoked pot, I guess. I'm still young though.

[New Earth]

91. ha!

look at all the damn pot-smokin hippie lovin tree huggin liberals

:D

[sepia_steel]

98. LoL.

:spank:

[Nordmadr]

132. Fuck...you found me... Don't forget VETERAN pot smokin hippie

tree huggin liberal.

Olaf

[frogmarch]

92. Once,

on my 30th birthday. An old friend said I needed to experience pot once before I got too old and stodgy to appreciate it. So I shared a joint with her in her car, out of sight of my hubby and kids. I had to go to a PTA meeting shortly afterwards and was pleasantly floating. Unfortunately, I won the door prize, a frozen turkey, and I stumbled up the stage steps to get it and fell down them afterwards. The turkey went up in the air, then it fell on my shin, breaking it.

That was the only time I ever smoked pot.

[blue neen]

99. OMG.

:rofl:

Your story literally had me laughing out loud. I am sorry about your shin, though. I hope it didn't take you too long to recover.

[az chela]

95. Do I get a prize???

It's an herb that is no more harmful than eating catnip.It should be legal and available to all that want it.It's so much safer than alcohol and it actually opens areas in your brain that the government wants to keep shut off so that you cant think for yourself.

[pfitz59]

96. Humboldt State alumnus here.....

God I loved the '70's!

[blue neen]

100. ...hears "Dark Side of the Moon" playing in the background...

Ah, the 70's. A fine time was had by all. :wistful:

[mokawanis]

103. yes, but I didn't inhale

:smoke:

[progressivebydesign]

104. Tried it in my stupid teens.. and HATED IT!!!

Like most vices, can't really see what all the excitement is about. I have enough trouble hanging onto reality as it is.. don't need an other diversions (I'm an ADD adult).

[WePurrsevere]

105. Memories... light the corners of my mind...

munchies.. oh yeah... and am I the only one who got a bad case of the "hornies" too? Although I had a few friends both as a teen and later as an adult that were I was never super big on it but once in a while it was nice to sit back and chill... it worked better then liquor for me. ::sigh:: gosh but it's been years and I sure could use a buzz but we have too much to lose so I don't dare. :(

My husband used Peyote ceremonially once, he never smoked pot. He was always very much the Eagle Scout and then he married me. :-D Now he says if it were legal he'd try it if for no other reason then it is said to help ease his severe and disabling pain when nothing else has.

As my daughters were growing up I discussed smoking pot, drinking and other drugs realistically with them. I told them the facts, both plus and minus, and that although I'd prefer that they waited to try any drugs until after they were "adults" I'd be cool if they did before hand.

IMO there truly isn't any reason to have pot illegal while alcohol and ciggies are not. If the pot you get is the pure stuff it's a lot less harmful as well and for some who are disabled or ill it's a medicinal "miracle". The later is the aspect that ticks me off the most. They have all kinds of "legal" drugs that are a whole lot harsher on the body and mind then and don't work as well as pot and yet they get prescribed like they're candy and why? Because pot is super easy to grow and use so the big pharm companies can't make beau coup bucks from it? Pfft!

[kohodog]

106. I remember passing a joint to another car

on i95 on the way to a march in DC in the late 60's. We ran out of change and threw lifesavers into the tolls.

[HeeBGBz]

108. Ever and always

I celebrate the sacred herb.

[GoneOffShore]

113. But "No, No, No, I don't smoke it no more"

Tachycardia when I do. I miss it though.
Red wine is a fine substitute.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

115. Do you realize how LONG this thread is?

Quick, lock the door. Turn out the lights. Turn off the music.

Shhhhh.

They can't hear us.

Shhhhh.

Can I have your cookie?

[LeftyMom]

117. Nope. I'm all for legalization I just have no personal interest.

:hi:

[u4ic]

124. That sums it up for me, too

[SlavesandBulldozers]

140. so. . .when do you run for office?

;)

[titoresque]

118. My last pot story:

The last time I *remember* smoking was about 4 years ago. My wife and I went to the drive-in to see a double feature. We lit up right there....as is what everyone who smokes pot at the drive-in does. We smoked before the first movie began and fell asleep. We slept like babies on a blanket on the ground in front of our car through BOTH movies. Woke up, and EVERYONE was gone! We were sooooo thirsty...I woke up first and tilted the cooler we had sodas in, (the ice had melted) and shamelessy gulped as much water as I could. My wife then woke up and I passed the cooler. We had a good laugh, and decided that we shouldnt smoke before the movie starts! LOL! We were too tired to leave so we went back to sleep and woke up later as the sun was rising and a cleanig crew was picking up trash.

[Zynx]

120. Never and I won't even drink.

I don't believe in dulling one's mind with substances. Guess I made a strange choice in going to UW-Madison then.

[spacelady]

121. Why is it harder to acquire in your 40's than it is in High School?

And why is growing it so much worse than just having it?

[DanCa]

122. Does 1980 era model airplane glue count? (nt)

[Hyernel]

123. Does my name give it away?

:smoke:

Though, in reality, I don't really smoke that often. I can never find any!! Should be legal.

[haydukelives]

126. By ever do you mean

today, then yes.

[fishnfla]

127. Ever done snow bongs?

*click-click*,,-chuga-chuga-chuga *whooosh-fwooooooop* "'ere, man"

:rofl:

[edbermac]

129. Stopped about 20 years ago; goddamn, I'm getting so OLD!

;(

[kedrys]

133. Oh, *that's* what was in that funny-looking cigarette last night...

:D Who wants some of the surviving hazelnut chocolate cookies?

*puff* *puff* *pass* <giggle> :hi: :smoke:

[Greyhound]

135. You mean today? n/t

[Misunderestimator]

139. Clay or Ceramic?

[bicentennial_baby]

141. omg, i love that one!

Weeeeeeeeee! it reminds me of...me! :D

:hi:

[Misunderestimator]

146. A bit bouncy...

:D :hi:

[Lochloosa]

142. 17 percent are lying!

[ThingsGottaChange]

145. Don't bogart that joint, my friend

pass it over to me! It's probably been 25 years since I smoked pot. I absolutely love the smell! Even after I stopped smoking, if someone had some I would stick my nose in the bag and take a huge whiff! Yummmmm!

One summer my friend and I must have gained 30 lbs. each going for hot fudge sundaes every day! And we always had to have fruit flavored Certs to munch on.

And of course, there was the time that I was out with my sister and was so stoned that all I could think about was getting home and getting to bed. So, naturally, as soon as I walked in the door - AT MY PARENT'S HOUSE - I thought I was in my bedroom and started taking my clothes off!!! Yes, Mom was right there to see it!

I also remember when you could get an ounce of very, very good stuff for $20. That WAS a long time ago!!! :smoke:
