my gf is a pothead

[darkorion69]

Make an effort to tell her that pot is not your thing, and despite your feelings for her, you are not comfortable with the drug scene. Make sure you try not to come off judging the drug scene or her personally. In my experience, the people I have made the same speech to get defensive and paranoid (bad side effects of pot) and left my life because I was 'not cool.' Their loss I say.

Yea experimented, she has obviously gone further than just experimenting. From the sounds of it she is - like a lot of weed users - just someone who becomes lethargic when on pot rather than becoming someone who is pleasant to be around.

depends on the strain, the 2 main ones are indica and sativa. indica is more likely to make you lethargic. its a matter of consumption and experience. for me, i am a long time moderate user. i function perfectly with moderate use, and functional no matter how stoned i am.

and if you want to discuss the im sober and there not experience, would you rather be in a room of people who over-consumed pot and are not lethargic and silly. or people who consumed to much beer and are now routy and aggressive. i can tell you from personal experience, being the sober guy with stoners is way more tolerable than the sober guy with drunks.

and choose your pot, if its day time and there things you want to do, use a blend of sativa. you can stay active and alert. if its the end of the day and you want to relax after a long day, get some dinner, spark up a blend of indica and turn the tube on or chill with some friends.

I fail to see the point in taking pot which isn't the kind that makes you lethargic, as otherwise you might as well just smoke. The problem isn't really the pot its self but the amount. All strains also mess with people's short term memory.

sativa gives your more of a mental high than a body high. and the short term memory loss is a symptom of a good thing. the same thing effect that makes you have less short term memory makes your creative brain think faster. in a study they had people think of words that started with the letter g, people who were stoned could think of more words faster than the people who were sober. which is a big reason why many artist use pot while there being creative.

if you look at the physical differences between the sativa and indica strands, you will see drastic differences in the plant height shape and smell.

It might be good in the short term, but it also does long term damage to the short term memory.

You got this far with her without it coming between you, who's to say it'll ever become an issue. You don't have to do it just because she does and who says she'll ever ask you to.

PS: Stick with it. Cause from what I know of stoner girls, you have struck gold my friend.

And what do you know of stoner girls? They put out? Big whoop, they smell nasty and rarely think. At least the ones I know.

actually I was thinking more along the lines of them being generally more fun and interesting to be around. Even if you're not smoking weed yourself a night out with the stoners is generally about 10 times better than with anyone else. They're also great cooks (most of them)

Though I will admit, the sex life is far from a downside.

I'd say one of us is witnessing an anomaly, because all the stoners I know only think they're those things.

 

[LCP]

Tell her to ditch the pot or ditch her, before she gets you in a stupid mess.

If she's that addicted and she leaves pot for you, you sir have struck a gold mine!

 

[MrFluffy-X]

If you guys get on so well, I wouldn?t ruin your relationship over something that isnt even that big a deal.

If you like her - try to find a middle ground, just don?t get all righteous on her ass.

it will probably just be a fine...which she can pay

 

[Electric Alpaca]

I hate to argue against someone who is supporting the right side of the thread here, but Atheists get married for more than a "tradition". There are serious tax breaks and other implications that are associated with marriage. Marriage actually predates religion, as it has happened before reliably recorded history.

So please don't be a jerk and call us hypocrites when you have no idea what you're talking about. You're clearly being very ignorant by posting such a crude and blatantly offensive metaphor.

Apologies. It was late when replying to Psycho, and I mis-termed my words. I.e. marriage, wedding, and civil ceremony; as there is a big difference between them all.

So to rephrase more eloquently: Weddings in churches between atheists being the hypocrisy.

In any case: off topic.

Why risk it? If someone is willing to drag you into a law related mess, just because they want to enjoy something, then it's not worth being with them. Just my idea, why make problems for yourself?

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Err, I hate people with the "pot is a lifestyle" mentality as they give other more responsible users a bad rep. The herb should revolve around you, you should never revolve around the herb (or so I'm told...).

Fuck, if only I'd learnt that before getting into sage, best and worst 4 years of my life.

OT: Shouldn't matter. If you want to be with her then be with her, if you don't then don't. Small things that you disagree with should be worked on and you should try and come to a compromise. If you really don't like weed then just say that you refuse to be around her when she or her friends are high.

Maybe it's the whole 'lifestyle' thing then. The people I know who smoke it do so because they like the feeling and they have fun, rather than acting like getting off your face on a mental suppressant actually makes you MORE intelligent and superior.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Just get rid of her. I know a kid whose parents are pot heads... he just isn't... I don't know what to say. He just dosen't WORK. Not to mention pot ruined my uncle's life so I suggest you should stay away from the drug in anyway possible.

I agree with this person. It's not wise to stay with someone like that. My uncle's life was also ruined by pot and alchohol. :/

Drop her, there is no way she can be worth the risk of you being around drugs

My Uncle, with the help of my family, got off drugs. Went back on them when we started a business, didn't want to put the family through getting him off them again and so he hung him self.

I'm sorry for what happened to your Uncle.

My Uncle is still alive but he has some major mental health issues. He doesn't do drugs anymore to my knowledge, it's the alchohol which causes problems now but he's been in and out of hospital and the death of my grandad really didn't help at all either...

 

[CarlMin]

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. Anyway, isn't my avatar just adorable?

Yes it is

See now if I wanted to return the favor, I would accuse you of being an adorable doggie!

Oh and I always do research on a drug before trying it. I have tried LSD and MDMA because I know that these are merely recreational drugs, only suited for psychedelic parties (which I do not attend too often). If there was a danger of me becoming addicted to them, I wouldn't even go near them. Hell I wouldn't even look at them!

Unfortunately, this smart use of drugs requires huge self restriction and knowledge of your limits. You should never take more than you can handle, because after all, those ARE chemicals that WILL kill you if not taken right, even I can not deny that.

Though I'd like to note that unlike alcohol, you can't overdose on pot. You'd have to smoke 1.5 kilos in 14 minutes to die and you'd probably fall asleep before consuming it all anyway.

So in the end it's a question of personal responsibility, just like smoking and drinking. Well you seem to know more about it than I do so I'll reply with something I do know anything about and say that YES, calling me an adorable doggy would be a pretty reasonable accusation

 

[Brandon237]

I'd like to think your relationship is functional enough that you could talk to her about reducing the amount she smokes before dumping here.

Seriously, dumping her just like that without trying to remedy the situation is fucking retarded.

Common sense and tact, it lives. Thank-you.

But seriously, do speak to her about it. See if you two can find a way to keep things good between you without impacting too much on either of your views or lifestyles. Only if the situation becomes desperate and hopeless do you give up hope. If you are happy together, then try to make it work first.

 

[Jack Macaque]

Eh could be I suppose, speaking of Incubus, I just got that new album...

 

[rokkolpo]

Is she worth it?

The only thing you need to ask yourself.
