what do you say to them?

^ Oh man alcoholics are the funniest judges

 

i have the same problems with my friends. they are all practically alcoholics, and then when i mentioned to them that i go through about a half a week, they were all like, "omg that is so much, you know that can't be good with her medicine." (because i take an antidepressent) but the thing is, they also take psychiatric meds and everyone knows how bad it is to drink and take those. plus, they never take the time to ask me how i'm doing. they just immediately assume that my reasons for smoking are negative. meanwhile, weed has helped my mood disorders and depression as much, if not more, than the meds perscribed by the doctor. i hate whwen people judge!

 

some women just want something to talk about

 

lmfao

 

what do you mean by that?

 

Hahaha, he was just assuming that your friends that give you shit for smoking were girls and went with the stereotype of how much chicks like to gossip.

But to stay on topic, I have a couple friends that are the same way! My one friend isn't really that bad about it, he just says that it's bad for me and whenever he says that I say "well at least it's not as bad as alcohol is for me" which he agrees with. But this kid is straight and doesn't even drink, so when he gives me shit there's nothing I can really say but "hey man it's my choice."

But my other friend, this girl that is the same way (she also doesn't drink or do any type of drug) is a total bitch about it! We were just shootin' the shit one day and I mentioned to her that I smoked a bowl earlier, then she starts saying how pathetic that is and how I'm pathetic for doing it alone! I really am starting to dislike this girl a lot because first, she flat out insults me, then she has rules about when it's okay for people to smoke and in what type of environment! She never really cared if I did it with some friends, but all of a sudden it's pathetic when I do it by myself? When I see her again I'm gonna really have a serious talk with her, and tell her how saying shit like that won't earn you many friends and won't keep you current friends. And the worst part about this is that she broke up with her boyfriend and I was helping her out and talking her through it the whole time, and putting up with all her crying and whining and anger for like 2 months! Some friend she is right?

 

You sort of outlined another form of addiction, which is emotional addiction. Sounds absurd to straight people, but following the whimsy of their snap- emotions is just as bad as a drug habit. Each individual cell of the body receives certain amino acids produced by the brain. Those acids are what we'd call emotion and the cells have receptor sites for them. The more habituated we get to certain emotions, the more each of our cells expects to be fed that particular amino acid and closes itself down to other nutrients that it needs from food intake. Cells are creatures of habit just like us. People who can't control their emotions become physically unhealthy because of the emotional reign going on inside them, and their cells are starved of the diverse nutrients they require.

 

Why are you trying to convince people to smoke weed? It's always polite to offer, but let them be.
