Most others in the MJ forum seemed to disagree though, so I was wondering what everyone else thinks. Is it ok to go to a funeral stoned? Do i just have old fashioned opinions when it comes to funerals?! I'm genuinely curious...
That was MY point. I personally think it's pathetic. The people in the MJ forum thought it was ok though and I wanted to see what others thought.
When someone passes away in my family, there is generally quite a bit of drinking going on. We get together, mourn and usually get merry with some cocktails. Obviously, when we get together, its not like we say, hey, aunt so and so died, lets all get plastered, but in general, that's what happens. Is that disrespectful? I really don't think so. I know when I pass on, I want people to come together and celebrate my life and the times they had with me and if they get a little drunk in the process - good for them. I don't see why smoking should be viewed any differently. The point being, just because losing someone is a somber time, doesn't mean it has to be a sober time.
I can understand why people would drink together after a funeral. That seems to be fairly common place and almost expected. But would you arrive at the funeral already stoned (or pissed)? I just don't understand how people can pay their respects when they're wasted.
I think that the last thing I would be thinking about before going to a funeral would be the need to get high. I think it is pathetic to do that.
There appear to be those unfamiliar w/the concept of Wakes (celebration). At my scattering, I sincerely Hope Folks will be themselves not hypocrites out of Respect to both of us...
Once again, all you dumbfucks get slapped upside the head with a powerful hand of common sense brought to you by dhs.
i could never go to a funeral stoned. i don't really think it's wrong to do, as i'm a firm believer in letting others do what they want. however, i personally would be even more of a mess if i got stoned before such an event. smoking pot only succeeds in magnifying my already existant emotions.. except for anger, it kinda cancels that one out.. but anyway, back to my point, i wouldn't do it, but i wouldn't look down on someone for doing it. or making a habit out of getting stoned before going to funerals. actually i'd more feel bad for them because that means their friends and relatives keep dying.. and now back to your regular scheduled programming.
I Went To My Friend Cory's Funeral Stoned...no Big Deal...after All I Don't Think I Ever Saw Him Alive Sober...you Are Who You Are..being Stoned Is Not Disrespect Full Unless You Are A Junkie And Need It To Get By In Your Daily Adventures....smoking Herb Is A Way Of Life. His Funeral Was Uplifting Positive. After All It Was A Black Funeral And I'm Telling You...that Preacher Made Me Feel That Everything Is Okay Once You Are Gone...that Funeral Made Me Not Fear Death. R.i.p. Cory You Were A Ray Of Light On Those Tornado Days.
