by smoking, i am "heading down the wrong path"

so tonight i got a lecture from one of my closests friends who basically told me she did not want to be involved with someone who likes smoking.

i personally find nothing wrong with a nice smoke every now and then, and im not going to stop because my friend thinks its bad.
however it upsets me that she is letting it come in between our friendship
especially cause i BARELY smoke, i mainly drink and so does she, i have so much other stuff going on in my life that i cant afford to smoke all the time

so please tell me how by smoking every once in a while i am "heading down the wrong path" and "fucking up my life"

fuck the government basically
and fuck everyone who thinks bud is soooo fucking bad for you

sorry, that is my rant for the night
ugh.

 

Pass her the blunt

EDIT: Drinking is worse for you IMO

 

^
Definitely.
When is the last time you heard about someone having a night of binge smoking, and being dead the nest morning?

 

haha i agree with you
and my friend has smoked before
but she is in desperate need cause she just needs to kick back and chill instead of being so uptight all the time and killin the mood

 

Why would you blame the government for your friend meddling in your personal decisions?...

 

Everything her friend knows about weed likely stems from the government, or her parents with the governments rules before that and shit.

 

Your friend is foolish.

 

smoking once and a while ur not heading down the wrong path shes heading down the wrong path for not being ur friend now thats just bad if she dont wanna be ur friend cuz of a herb that shes not even smoking so she cant get in any trouble

 

Who decides what path is wrong or right? Answer that question first and the rest will flow.

 

Cop-out

 

Subconsciously you know the answer to your own question, otherwise you wouldn't of put inverted commas around 'the wrong path'

Right and wrong are subjective, every persons path is different but it is still their own choice. If you're enjoying life then how is that 'wrong?'

 

your friend sounds like an idiot.

almost like an overly controlling boyfriend, except you guys can't have make up sex or any of the fun stuff that comes with the "boyfriend" aspect.

seems like a lose:lose situation. i'd get out of it if i were you.

 

If she says smoking is bad for you, and you're heading down the wrong path then just ask her 'how is smoking weed worse than drinking..'
If she can answer that then i don't know..
lol

 

I had a friend tell me that he wasn't sure he wanted to be my friend because I smoked the herb, and he said I shouldn't do "that" to myself and that I was stupid for doing so, and he thought I would become "stupid and lazy". He called me a bunch of condescending names and just simply insulted me, and basically showed me that it wasn't really my well-being that he cared about, but that fact that he considered me a "stoner" and had bigoted views of the herb and people who partake of it.
I told him to not be a fool. I reminded him of his fondness of drinking and the health effects of that, and then compared that to the effects on health (both positive and negative) the smoking/eating of ganja once or twice a week produces. After that, I also reminded him that my life is not his, and his decision to dislike me because of this particular action would not serve a purpose other than to demonstrate his repulsion towards that which he does not understand. I did not shove my actions in his face, either, and did not lie to him about anything; he simply had views based on his misinformed opinion, so much as to dislike people -and his friends- for no other reason, even if they kept it out of his life.
We're still friends today, it was just that he simply had no idea what he was talking about. When he realized I was not "stupid and lazy" and actually cared about being friends with him, he backed off and had a little bit of tolerance and understanding rather than repulsion. I don't blame him either, he was educated to things that weren't fact, and we both kind of understand that.

 

the reason i blame this government is because my friend thinks smoking is so bad because it is illegal and drinking is not so it must be okay. And if the government says weed is bad than it must be the worst thing in the world.

 

to be quite honest i wouldn't want to be friends with someone who's retaded enough to believe the government's lies.

so i'm not. but that's just me.

 

you make a good point
this is how our friendship has always been

i need to get out

 

doesn't sound like a friendship, more like a drinking buddy.

 

i agree with sleepygreen

either your "friend" is incredibly weak minded and cant form thoughts for him/herself or isn't your friend.

a real friend would know you well enough to realize that your choice of libations isn't isn't bringing negativity to your life. that is of course assuming your not robbing houses for weed money and hanging out in dark alleys smoking joints, in which case i would agree with your friend lol

id suggest trying to educate this person, don't just spew pro-mj propaganda like a lot of smokers do "oh man its from the earth" "god gave us this great plant to enjoy" "it opens your mind" and that kind of shit

just be serious with this person, tell them your aware of the effects of smoking (because the smoking part really is the only bad thing about mj) explain how your offended that this person thinks so little of you that smoking mj would somehow change you or chance what a friend you are

if all else fails just tell this idiot you cant stand to be friends with someone who gets drunk and tell them to get fukt

 

I agree
