i like having friends....

who don't want to just sit around smoking weed or drinking all the time.

don't get me wrong - i LOVE sitting around smoking weed and drinking....or going out, smoking weed and drinking....

but i'm meeting more "regular" people and its nice.

being stuck in the same town so long, with such a tendency towards inertia, i didn't meet new people, and didnt socialize much

i'm having a lot more fun these days. its nice.

though i WOULD really like a joint right now, or a beer.

oh well, i had a good evening, i'll leave it at that

 

yeah, i'm thinking about moving to keystone or some resort town and just working at the resort. people who like to have a good time and get physical.

 

You know, thats one of the biggest misconceptions about us stoners.

I love nothing more than getting thoroughly baked and going on an adventure, making an awesome meal, working in the yard or jamming out to some loud music. We dont all sit around stoically and stare at the wall whilst giggling and eating everything in sight..

I mean, sure, that happens, But not every time.

 

also, remember, only the boring get bored.

 

well, but the fact is you Dont do as much as you could if you werent stoned..... like, you used to skip school, you dont go to all your appointments (especially dentist) you put off cleaning, you say you will phone but you forget, you lack at conversational skills with someone who isnt stoned while you tend to ramble with ppl who are, you suck at parenting.... etc. i used to think differently but ever since i live with someone who never wakes up without smoking a joint, and all money, even mine, goes for that shit (because he never has full rent share) and so many other problems.... but damn i love him...

 

For a few years now I have been walking away from relationships that revolve around drinking and smoking weed, I just can't stand the bland, fake conversation. I know this isn't always the case, but there is something about drunk or stoned mobs of people that kills everything real. I have spoken to my housemate and a lot of his friends on an individual, sober basis and have found them genuine, kind and interesting people, but as soon as they embark on their nightly smoke-up I can't bare to be around them. Same goes with my school friends.

I am not comparing myself to you nesta, I imagine that your stoner friends are cool and interesting but you are seeing something else in "regular" life.

 

Ah, I wish I had those kind of friends, too. The friends I have are smokin' all my shit and making me poor.

 

truer words have never been spoken.

 

Wow. I must be an exceptional pothead.

sure I forget things, but i always make my rent, and hold fabulous convos with sober people.
I dont have many friends, but thats by choice. The friends I do keep, are exceptional stoners as well.
I am proud of me.

 

I never get bored. In fact, it is probably because I am constantly able to find fascinating things do that I would rather be alone than sit around with a group of potheads talking about nothing, pretending that it is interesting and pretending that I am more interesting than everyone else. Same goes with individual stoners. I wasted so many nights with these people.

I am a natural loner though so its difficult for me to see things the way other people do.

 

i smoke and drink and do drugs, but i do it right. most of my friends are musicians like me. i'm a productive druggy. whenever i feel like i'm not, i know i need to change things, and i do.

 

Yes, I can certainly see this and I know people like this. I also think there are different reasons to take drugs, and even to have friends...for a lot of people its about wallowing in a comforting, forgetful bliss. I am kind of over comfort and being fake now, when I ever do take drugs, I want to take drugs to live, to feel like I exist...not to forget!!! Perhaps I am being too harsh on the lazy druggies but this is how I see it.

 

I smoke to forget. Instead of going to a therapist, I self-medicate.
Before weed found me, I used to angry. I was convinced the world was against me.
I wasnt as creative, I didnt know what letting yourself express your emotions was.
I was convinced what happened to me and what others decided for me would rule my life and subsequently ruin it.
I was another angry mexican headed for the same bullshit my mother did.
A horribly unhappy life...

Now you have fake happiness. Congratulations.

 

I feel this.

There is this phase starting to hit me. Theres an urge to be productive instead of sitting around to shoot the shit.
I'm all about the idea that we were put here to fart around. but there's so much we are all capable off.

I much rather invite someone over to work on some sort of 3d animation project, or write some tunes, or build a beer pong table so we can act like idiots when I eat my words.. youllz know?

 

i agree with you. i'm not the kind of person who smokes every day. for me, it is medicine to be taken when my tolerance is down and i can have a useful trip where i get in touch with myself and my creativity. i dunno. i rarely watch tv or munch out... i do drink too much though. i'm changing that very soon, it's bad for my health and makes my ass look like cottage cheese.

 

meh. you call it fake, I call it the best thing that could happen to me.
some happiness is better than a miserable exisitence.

 

I smoke but i'm not a poor parent i get my rent paid on time every month my bills are paid on time every month i attend all my kids functions I am an artist I have really great stoned and unstoned conversations with friends I stay productive Its all about what you want out of life and what your willing to put into it

 

Imagine a life where you feel that anger, where you feel all those pangs of discomfort and despair and loneliness and then one day you wake up and realize that you can face those feelings, live with them and possess a genuine, truthful happiness without being a slave to any drug.

Misery is awesome...misery is life. Run with it.

Speaking of, I need to get off the internetz and do some living.

Laterz.
