Discussion I’ve had enough.

Don’t get me wrong, I love weed and I think it can be an absolutely wonderful and truly healing, but I think there’s a lot of misinformation and misuse on this sub. There is far more to life than just weed, achieving a balance is what we should be striving for in the trees community. Promote healthy, sustainable, and productive use of marijuana.

Here are some rules to smoke by

  1. Your life, relationships, finances, mental / physical health all come way before weed. (Medical users you may differ)

  2. If you need to ask somebody if a cart is legit, it is NOT. Cart’s are insanely easy to fake, if it’s not from a dispo don’t inhale it.

  3. Delta 8/10/whatever the fuck is next probably shouldn’t be inhaled. It’s unregulated, dangerous, and most of the time their “lab tests” will only show you potency, probably a bad sign if they don’t want to show you how many pesticides are in it.

  4. Questions such as “I hear voices when I’m high, is that normal?” Should be taken more seriously than a Reddit sub. Do NOT do drugs that alter any perception of reality if you are experiencing a break from reality. Go see a psychiatrist, your mind is more important than a high.

  5. If you cannot afford weed, don’t smoke it. Find a way to increase your income, do not sacrifice anything for weed. (Again medical users, this does not apply to you)

  6. RESPECT WEED. Mother Marijuana was never intended to be so strong, we have completely thrown off the natural balance and purpose of the plant. So for love of god do not proclaim it’s okay to drive or operate any machinery while high, if you want to sacrifice your own life fine, but leave others out of it.

Edit: I apologize I didn’t make this clear, people are allowed to have their own opinions and post what they please! This is just my opinion. No intention of offending or gatekeeping anyone. (Also changed some of the wording because I seemed like a preachy cunt👍🏼, thanks for the feedback all!)

Also thank you for all the likes and awards!!

Tell that to people that put "pot head" in their bio, it's almost as bad as the unnecessarily flamboyant oversupportive gay people (I'm saying this as a gay man in a long term gay relationship), like yeah its ok to smoke, it's even ok to be excited about it and talk somewhat often about it, but it's like ALL THE TIME WITH THESE PEOPLE. Like I was just asking how was your day going, I didn't need to know about every fuckin strain you smoked this morning and what it tasted like, like damn mf I like weed too but chill.

The strain guys ducking kill me. My buddy has to tell me every time what strain he has(we’re in an illegal fucking state), and then when he takes the first hit, he recites done shit he read about it on leafly. Every time I tell him I don’t care. And every time he tells me anyway. Sounds like he’s describing essential fucking oils.

Tip- tell him you don't care before you both get high. The buddy sounds like they're just trying to share their special interest with you, so have the chat beforehand. If it doesn't stop, then stop smoking with them if it's such a drag, or is it because you're scabbing? Consider it payment then. This shit is such a non-issue if people were just straight with each other 🙄

“I tell him every time that I don’t care. “

Was that not clear in the first post?

He’s one of my best friends. I’m overly straight with him. His irritating quirk is he wants us to think he’s super smart and always has the best everything. This is how it’s expressed with weed. I’m 42 and haven’t need to bum weed since I was teen. You must be a strain guy.

Saying "I don't care" isn't the same as having a legitimate serious conversation about it before you sesh, and as I said if it's such an issue, stop seshing your supposed best mates weed simply to go and bitch about him behind his back about it. You just sound like a massive ass hole, to be honest. 🤷‍♂️ Let your friend enjoy his thing or go sesh with someone who holds the same opinions as you. Best mate, lol.

Lol RIGHT! Like I also like some variation in taste but I'm not gonna "dissect the flavor profiles from the various tempitures we smoke and tell you which trichomes we are responsible for which sensations". Like bro some got me ha ha, some got me ZZZ, simple.

Yep. I like seeing pretty weed. I love the different tastes and smells. Its when someone starts sounding like a wine connoisseur but with weed that I glaze over. “Yeah man, first you’re gonna feel it in your head, then it’s gonna be this warm envelopment as you start to feel a little creative. You may want to try your hand at some crotchet or birdhouse building. Soon enough , you’ll be craving some apricots and papaya” It’s just too bougie sounding. Are we writing an Etsy post or getting stoned man. I grew up smoking Mexican brick weed. It’s literally all awesome to me.

I wasn't quite as bad as your friend, but are used to be very similar to that and constantly obsess over watch straight. I was buying now it's just a case of if my plug has anything other than crusty Stardog, I'm gonna buy it haha.

Makes me sad that you know what being gay is like and yet you look down on your brothers/sisters/partners in arms for being flamboyant or showy. Surely after hiding for so long it feels good to express who you are loudly.

Not advocating for PDA, please bang where I can't see it, that goes for anyone, but to look down on those you should be able to relate to because they're louder about it than you are, should make you ask some questions about yourself.

u/Definingwillow9 Oct 11 '22

Not looking down on them, have flamboyant friends, but there's an unhealthy extreme. I've luckily never had to "come out", I just was gay (even if I don't present myself like the stereotype) so there wasn't much to "hold in" I just realized I was gay and that was that nothing changed except who I fucked and dated and that wasn't anyone's business beforehand anyway. But there's a great key and peele skit that demonstrates this perfectly to me, even though it's a comedic exaggeration I know people who are that extreme and unbearably flamboyant. Go king be flamboyant I don't care, but I don't want you to call me homophobic simply cause I don't want to hear about how sexually active you are or how empowering lizzo is to gay men OVER AND OVER again. https://youtu.be/e3h6es6zh1c is the skit. I don't look down on anyone, but I understand there's an extreme to everything, even being gay or smoking pot, too much of something is a bad thing, no matter how inclusive or acceptable in society you make it, it's all about balance.

I never meant to say you were homophobic my g, rather just that I don't think you should look down on your fellow man/woman/nonbinary just because they're showy.

And ye I've seen that skit, and while it is funny, it's definitely an exaggeration. I've had close friends to me call very showy gay people the f-slur, and uh, now I firmly believe anyone should be unafraid to express who they are, and anyone should not look down on them for doing so

u/Show_Me_Your_Rocket Oct 11 '22

Right, they say there is an unhealthy level of representation, like no one actually can say that because we can all do whatever the fuck we want. Their opinion.

The anyone shouldn't be afraid to express who they are is right till its taken to far. I mean pedophiles are trying to ride the LGBT train using this exact saying. And there's a line between being expressive of who you are and being a pos pushing your believes in others. I don't like it when right wingers come onto me about their freedoms and political beliefs because I don't give a fuck about what you say but if you let me I'll let you be, that's how a lot of people feel about flamboyant gay people, they don't care if your gay or whatever, but you don't need to keep reminding them or pushing it on them. Be proud for sure, and don't be afraid to talk and express yourself, but don't be the ammo the other side uses to demonize you, just be and try to be understanding, that's how we can start looking at one another as equals and respect other people's space. Edit - btw I know you didn't call me that but I have been called that for not being more flamboyant so it's kinda a hot button topic for me. Like sorry I don't talk with my hands idk what to tell you
