Is there anyone who doesnt smoke cannabis?

JayRoc

I don't smoke it. Never have.
But I'm one of the only people out of pretty much all of my various social circles that doesn't.

From reading this thread you'd think no-one in Ireland smokes- but I'd guess that's 'cos all the stoners couldn't be bothered posting

In my experience I'd say the vast majority of 18-30 year old urbanites do, at least on occasion.

I smoked it a bit when I was about 15 but tbh I only did it because it was a bad thing to do and I never got anything out of it. I havent done it since and wouldnt even be tempted. Give me and ice cold beer any day.

By the way I have a huge group of friends and very few of them smoke it and quite a few have never even tried it. Its total bollox saying that most people between 18-30 smoke it. Thats just people who smoke trying to make themselves feel better.

My name is Lynfo and I am a stoner.

I have never smoked it, am probably the only one of my friends who hasn't even tried it. Im 23 so have already gone through most of my experimentation phases and dont think ill be trying it any time soon. A few glasses of vino suits me just fine......

Never tried it, why would you bother - it's a waste of money and can get you into serious trouble.

I'm an urbanite and have never taken any illegal drug, or even smoked a cig.

Alcohol and caffeine are my only regulars.

Its not about the strength.

And i firmly believe you should go to jail for selling it. It promotes criminality and its the only point i ever agreed with McDool on.

If you are going to smoke grow your own weed and dont support criminal gangs

I've never tried anything bar alcohol and really can't see myself trying it in the future. Never been bothered with any of it. Most of my friends have tried it but alot of them wouldn't be bothered with it either

Just last week I was stopped by two young American girls, I suspect that they were here with a marching band for St. Patrick's Day, and asked if i had or could get some for them. I am not Irish but I have lived here for 20+ years and I'm always being asked if I have anything. It really pisses me off!!

Same as meself. I've lost count how mant times, Iv'e been asked if I have any 'smoke'. Just last week a man who must have been at least 50 approached me. I cut my hair to avoid lookin like a hippy and now I must look like a dealer!

To answer the OP, yes I have tried it, and had some brilliant nights on it in the past. Haven't touched it in a long time and have no desire to either. Not sure why, probably the hassle of obtaining it.

On that point of criminality, i think its safe to say that your backing up what i'm saying. i mean it wouldnt promote criminality if it was legalised unless of course the government charged outrages taxes on it (as they probably would, making it unnafordable). Do you think alcohol would not promote criminality if it were illegal?
im not saying that hash is good im just saying that lowgrade hash is a LOT less dangerous than alcohol.
also to draw a parallel to soap bar: http://www.thesource.gov.au/drinkspiking/things_you_should_know.htm

Haven't/ wouldn't. There are lots of people like that.

If, perhaps. But it isn't legal though, it does support criminality.

I'm the same, just never had any really interest. I have asthma and have never had a desire to smoke anything. Bit curious bout hash brownies though... so maybe one day I'll try them out.

Naked Lepper

Actually I want to change my last comment, instead of 25 years I think all drug users whether theyre moderate social drug users or heroin addicts on the street,should be given lethal injection after serving a 10 year sentence in mountjoy.

thatll learn them for sure.

Mossy Monk

used to smoke the odd joint here and there but havent done so for about 5 or 6 years now

couldnt be bothered with it now

would i be horribly right by saying that everybody who has just replied to this thread saying that they dont smoke is a university student/graduate or a farmer type???
i think there might be a trend.

i'm none of the above and i don't smoke. mainly because i hate the smell and taste of it. i'm the only one of all my groups of friends who doesn't. i'm happy enough with my wine

Yes there is a trend, intelligent people don't take drugs regularly.

Have never smoked it and never would - have the misfortune of having to take prescribed codine for severe pain and the side effects are horrible.

I generally run a lower risk of being arrested and prosecuted for buying my alcohol.

True.

But you cant even get normal smoke now.

There's only slate but people say its pollen, the gold pollen isnt half bad though.

for buying it yes, but for consuming it...no. When was the last time you saw a 'stoner' roaming the streets after a night club lookin for a fight?? I'm not saying alcohol makes you personally more agressive but it does have this affect on an awful lot of people.

Barring a few months off here and there I've been a regular cannabis user for almost 15 yrs.
Most of my friends either do or have smoked regularly in the past. I think anyone you ask will tend to move in social groups who either do or don't do drugs...there isn't much of a middle ground
I've also used a lot of other illegal substances over the years and they all have their good and bad points....but without doubt I will still maintain that the only drug that has most put my life at risk and has had the most negative effects on me over that time is alcohol.

It's a lovely monday afternoon here, I'm off work because I missed my lift this morning (forgot to reset alarm clock to BST) and I'm off out to the garden for a spliff in the sunshine. Then I intend to put something loud on the stereo and relax till this evening.

megadodge

Don't go near the stuff and from what I've seen the majority would probably have tried it but only a small minority are regular users.

I'm neither a farmer nor uni graduate.
