    Right place to ask this question... the AH mods are regular users.

    Are we?

    You smoke to much dope, its not as safe as people believe it is, you are opening yourself up to all sorts of future mental problems.

    Inhaling any kind of smoke isn't safe.

    Is that a new strain on the go?

    Think they say smoking too much can affect your brain in the long run, things such as spelling etc.

    Mod:

    Poster banned.

    It is spelled "it's".

    By the way, there's no need to shout.

    yeah but people who have a few cans will still probably hang out with each other if one or more of them stopped drinking

    doesn't tend to happen with stoners. it's a very fickle "friendship"

    In my group we have people who never smoked, people who smoked and stopped, people who didn't smoke and started later and people who smoked at the start and still do. Never noticed what you're saying.

    I was actually going to correct that before i posted it, but decided to leave it in to show that small things like comas etc dont really bother me, its more the obvious spelling mistakes in a thread title that can be annoying for something so simple.

    But well done to you anyways.

    Telling my last bird the I was shooting smack intravenously into my cock was one of the hardest conversations i have ever had.

    It'll probably involve at least one night of "here, gimme some of that", "I'm not getting anything off this", then holding her hair while she pukes and being reassuring as she works through the whitey. At least, my stoner friends tell me this is what happens.

    Do you stoner friends mix it with tobacco?
    (Probably the tobacco making them puke)

    I gave up smoking weed about 2 years ago now and my circle of friends hasn't diminished in the slightest. I've lost none of my old smoking buddies.

    If anything i find my friends who drink seem to feel a bit awkward unless a good few others are drinking with them.

    Tell her you smoke. Like her I don’t like any sort of drug taking but I don’t force my opinion on anyone else and have had girlfriends who did smoke. You should tell her soon as if you don’t she will find out and see your not telling her as a lie. Even if she would dump you for it then she should know.

    Agreed.

    I was seeing a girl who didn't smoke, I did. I didn't tend to smoke around her and it wasn't an issue.

    She was asking me one day about weed and pills and the like, as she had never done them and was curious. I told her with her completely inability to control herself with regards to booze (she regularly got WAY too ****ing drunk and needed looking after) that she was best off avoiding drugs of all kinds.

    I'm not really too sure what kind of advice anybody really could give you here. you know she has a problem with it, and you're going to tell her.... so ...what do you want anyone to say? do you need help with the wording or what is it?

    Yeah i dont really know how id drop it into a conversation to be honest or how to word it for that matter.

    Don't worry about dropping it into conversation - it's just not a topic that'll come up quite likely. tell her there's something you should discuss, you know she doesn't like drugs and that whole world, and that you're sorry you didn't mention it before (if you are) but you quite regularly smoke weed or whatever you smoke.

    it's a matter for the two of you then as to whether or not you'll keep seeing each other. maybe you'll cut back/give up, maybe she'll be ok with it, maybe you'll break up. who knows.

    Couldn’t agree more.

    FFS will you get a grip , Boards will make you more mental than weed.

    To the OP , Be truthfull and if your a proper person then it shouldent matter. Just smoke outside as some people dont like the smell.

    Maybe introduce her to it and get creative.

    If she dont like it then she does not like the real you .

    You are what you is.

    In fairness hes entitled to his opinion. I have friends who have no doubt it affected their mental health adversly. That said I say live and let live.

    I think you need to be honest with her upfront, if she is anti smoking and catches you, she will see it as a big big deal (in the fact you kept it hidden from her)

    I think though and I am not anti smoking doing anything 7 nights a week be it smoking weed or boozing is a lot, give yourself a few nights off! Good luck with it and the new gf! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭Peetrik


    I would suggest complete honesty also.

    I know nothing about the girl and I'm going to jump to a massive conclusion about her personality that is completely unfounded but... in my experience people who are 'not into the whole drugs thing' have preconceptions about any substances that aren't legal, the longer they have held these beliefs the less chance they have of changing their minds about them.

    If your honest and she accepts you then great, if she wants you to 'compromise' or stop hanging out with friends who smoke then she is not right for you.

    I smoked for 10 years up to 31st December last yr and have given up completely. Have gone out with anti-drug girls in the past and its just a pain in the arse. Plus you are lying to them the whole time and it probably meant that things could never push on and get serious for me as i always felt i was deceiving her.
    And those saying "does it not get boring?" obviously never smoked. Because life is sooooo boring since i stopped. TV is ****e. Live sport marathons feel like marathons and i find myself putting in a lot more time at the office. In other words, life sucks. Smoking removes that. But i aint going back

    Suggest a weekend away in Amsterdam.
    Gauge reaction.

    If she agrees, then visit a coffee shop.
    Take it from there.
    If she won't enter a coffee shop then fuck her into the river and leg it down to the prozzies.

    Seriously, suggest a weekend away in Amsterdam.
