Smoked a ridiculous / problematic amount in uni - almost fucked up degree / life. Always bongs. Switching to spliffs for the rest of the time made life far better. Lucky never to have any notable mental health issues from it.

Try not to smoke in general, but usually have a supply of nice cookies tucked away in the freezer. I find munching half before going out for a few beers lends a nice hazy glow to the night.

Legalise it, but shout down anyone who tries to push the ‘risk free’ BS - I certainly had a psychological addiction to the stuff at one point and as several upthread have said, there are a fair number people who react very badly and put their mental health at risk.

I also think we should legalise E and Mushrooms though, maybe acid too. Based on social harm / addiction potential. It would free up resources to focus on people selling the nastier stuff.

My friend used to smoke a lot of skunk between the age of 18 and about 23. He also lived in house of total stoners at uni, all studying history, so everyone was baked a lot of the time.
Wasn’t always that great, but he was so super chill back then. Reckon he would enjoy the odd bifta now and again nowadays

Literally only found out aged 28 how to smoke anything - used to just exhale the smoke and wonder why nothing happened. Fucking unbelievable.

a guy i know was really into “weed culture” at one point, he had loads of different pipes and grinders and scales and stuff. he listened to dubstep and was good at guitar hero. he’d say oh i got an 8th from so and so, it weighed 3 point whatever, and you’d have to nod along and pretend you knew whether this meant it was a good 8th or not. he got done for cyberstalking his ex and he became a tree surgeon, fell out of a tree a couple of years ago and lost the use of his right leg. don’t know if he still smokes weed, haven’t seen him for years.

we had this great game when stoned when I was younger where you’d get well baked and then spin round loads of times with your eyes closed then play tag with your eyes still closed. Took absolutely ages to find anyone.

A pub near us used to keep their football scratchcards behind the bar. When the landlord went for a piss we’d steal a few. We’d put our bus passes into lanyards and knock on front doors - 50p for charity. The vast majority of people had a go, we’d do one card (50 x 50p) a day in different areas, then go and buy a big bag of weed. I mean, fraud, sure, but when you’re frauding people out of 50p who gives a shite. Alan Sugar got a knighthood for selling a bit of beetroot, ffs.

My favourite stoned meal used to be a couple of packets of flamin’ hot Monster Munch crunched up on a pizza.

quite like the idea of using this as an excuse for pretty much anything

Am I seeing this correctly? Only 5% for this completely?

Eh? I mean I don’t even smoke weed, but, eh?

It can make people uncomfortable, I personally don’t have a problem with it but people walking around smoking it in the middle of a town centre but others do. So I take the empathy stance of ‘do it in public but not in places where people are tying to go about their day to day business’

I said for it completely, but on second thoughts the “similar approach to alcohol” is probably correct, since we generally allow people to drink in public unless they get out of order.

Obviously don’t really want any smoking in places where people have to inhale others’ smoke either

Well there’s questions like whether you should be able to drive if you’ve got a certain amount of a psychoactive substance like THC in your system

Used to like making bongs. Once stole a diamond tipped drill bit from B&Q so we could drill old glass bottles.
