Pot heads?

If people want to do that's their business. It probably lowers my opinion of someone if I know they smoke pot, I'm a bit too uptight. I wouldn't date one, just no. I'd prefer a bf who doesn't drink either, but I can live with that pretty easily.

 

Of course, why not? Would you not date someone who likes to drink to relax?

 

In my opinion it's no worse than drinking alcohol.

 

I absolutely could not. My dad is a chain-smoker and has been since he was a teenager. I HATE the smell of smoke. It gets into everything and I just don't think it's attractive at all. Pot isn't a serious drug, but it does change people. I just hate smoking anything in general and I could never be with someone who does it. And plus it'd be a major conflict of interest since I've been shadowing a substance abuse counselor.

 

LOL You're talking about my dream man...

 

I already did date one. He uses it recreationally, and it was one of the farthest things from my mind when we were dating. It didn't affect me, so why should I care?

 

I wouldn't mind so much. It's inconsequential to me. There are more important things to think about.

 

I can't say I'd like it if a boyfriend did it. Plus it smells horrible.

 

I think it depends on how heavy they're into it. If it's just once in a while, and they're responsible, sure. But if they do it all the time, and are just generally lazy and don't want to do stuff, then it's a problem. Same with alcohol, I guess.

 

I like it, but i have over-used in the past to deal with depression. Then again i've done the same thing with alcohol which is arguably worse.

It's also great with sex. I don't smoke it any more unless someone's passing a joint around at a party or something, but i would if i were having regular sex with someone who likes to partake!

Anything that makes sex feel better can't be all bad, for goodness' sake =P

 

Ideally, I wouldnt want him to be heavy in drinking or smoking.

I am not a health-nut, but being healthy is something that I value highly and make efforts not to make a ritual of unhealthy practices.(Personally, I dont even drink coffee, but again I dont expect my partner to mirror my practices, just not be too far in the opposite direction.)

Cigarettes. Absolutely not. Drinking and Weed, I guess I could deal with as long as it was in proper moderation.

 

i do it, and of course i'd date one, though it isn't an absolute requirement

 

I would actually prefer to date someone that doesn't drink alcohol. I hate alcohol and I don't want it anywhere near me at all. I wouldn't call it a deal breaker but I would strongly prefer to be with someone that does not drink at all.

As for pot, that doesn't bother me as much as alcohol. I don't judge anyone for smoking marijuana and I think it should be legal. The only issues I would have with dating a marijuana smoker is that I have asthma and it could seriously negatively impact my career

 

What I associate with the phrase pothead: A person who spends a majority of their time high, looking for weed, and talking about weed. I think it's pathetic and a dependency. That is not to say smoking weed is pathetic; it actually very enjoyable and relaxing. Moderation is key.

Being a pothead, as I think of the phrase, would definitely be a turn off for me. If they had other redeeming qualities, I could consider dating them. I can say that I would want anyone I date to be open to trying drugs, particularly psychedelics such as DMT, LSD, and mescaline.

 

Like I said, occasional use is fine with me and I'm not a stranger to it. But what I associate the term with, and often observe it referencing, are people who practically are addicted.

 

I cool with people who occasionally smoke. Heck, I'm not opposed to it myself, and I live in a city where just walking down the sidewalks you'll occasionally get whiffs of it. But as far as dating a pothead in the sense that plasticcrows described, no. There's a point where their use starts defining them, and it becomes rather pathetic. The same conditions apply to alcohol as well.

 

Oh god no. I don't like pot smokers, not because it is a harmful drug (the jury's still out on that, but I personally believe it to be harmful), but because if you're willing to break the law for personal pleasure, it bespeaks a lack of temperance and I'd like someone who can withstand such societal pressures.

 

I could date a person who smokes in moderation.
