my gf is a pothead

[tofulove]

maybe im the minority here, but pot is great. you should join her, be a stoner. any one who says pot is evil never done it.

and your body loves pot, it stores it in your fat like many different vitamins and minerals. humanity has bin using it before written history. every society has embraced it in tell recently.

and its far healthier than the legal drugs, tobacco alcohol and caffeine.

Man, this is half the problem the Pot Lobby have. If you can't find anything bad to say about it, then you're as biased as the "KILL ALL DRUGS" brigade. Look into it and find some of the bad things that can happen.

I'll agree it's nowhere near as bad as it's demonized to be, and there are some very important medical uses, but take a look at some of the downsides as well. That 30 pack of Cheetos you're drooling over is a side effect, isn't it?

 

[tofulove]

and if you like pot, and feel other people should try it out to, a little advice. don't call them retards for thinking its evil and bad. all official education tells you otherwise since you were a kid. cant blame them for going along with the flow, and if you really want to convince them your right, calling them retarded for being ignorant is not going to win you the day. no one likes being called dumb. and no one is convinced by the raving ass hole who belittles them for not having the experiences they have had.

if you want people to see you point of view, step one don't be a dick, step 2 reeducate in a friendly informative way, if they are not sold don't call them retarded. cause you just make them even less likely to ever consider it. you get alot more flies with honey than with vinegar.

 

[pirateninj4]

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.

Yes.

Pot doesn't make a loser a loser. Stop blaming a fucking plant on someones inability to be responsible. Nature made this law see, called Survival of the Fittest. Sometimes it works really well.

OT: She might grow out of it. If not, at least you'll always have tasty snacks in the house.

paint your dick to look like a can of pringles.

well, tar is bad. i use a vaporizer, issue is solved. if you smoked for awhile, you learn to control your uncontrollable urges.

and i go as far to say, not every one should smoke pot, for some people the negative side effects might be to much for them. so if they choose its not for them, that's 100% fine.

although i think its a good idea for any one over the age of 16 to give it a try at least once, i don't think people should do it if they decide they don't like it. i realize this post has slightly contradicted my first post. the first post was made to be silly, as well as my advice for him to. the thing about opinions, there like ass holes, every one has one ;P some just don't smell as bad.

so, i met this girl.

we got along great, blah blah blah, now we are dating. It wasn't like either of us were looking for a relationship, but we ended up in one. not only that, but over the last couple of months we have gotten far more serious than we ever intended.

problem is, she's a pothead. I don't mean she smokes a bit of pot from time to time. I mean she is a freaking stoner that gets high several times each day.

now, i don't really have a problem with it, but it isn't my thing either. I confess to getting high a couple of times when i was younger, but i grew out of it and never really got into the scene. But since she and her friends think that pot is a lifestyle, that kinda puts us in separate spheres.

now, ignoring the fact that i don't really get the whole 420 culture and all that stuff. I have a couple of reason that would make it very very detrimental for me to get caught anywhere close to an illegal drug. and if you agree or not, pot is an illegal drug where i live.

so, how would you guys play this?
do i just go with it and hang out with her and her pothead buddies doing what ever it is potheads do when they are not playing hacky sack and talking about evil corporations?

or do i just insist that she respect my reasons to not want to associate with something that could really really screw me up worse than the average person?

Dude, don't listen to most of these guys. If you GF is a pothead, good for you both. If ya don't wanna smoke with her, it's your choice, she can't make you do it, can she, now? Point is, stoner chicks are usually pretty great. Besides, as long as you don't stash her weed at your place and get raided, you are in absolutely in no danger. Even if you're caught with them smoking weed (worse case scenario), a simple blood test and you're on your way home.

Ya can't get in trouble if you're caught hanging out with stoners. Just set some basic rules if ya wanna be sure of it, like: No stashing weed at your place and not being the "mule" if the police comes their way while they're smoking.

Do NOT dump her unless you feel that you are wasting your time with her. Pot, like alcohol, can be a serious problem if the person refuses to stop being such a frequent user. Pot does not have the physical addiction side effects that alcohol/cigarettes/crack do but it does have a level of mental addictiveness.

For example, if she is smoking pot so frequently because she is avoiding a problem or issue that she does not want to deal with, then she does have a problem. But if she is smoking pot as a way to just enjoy her life then this is not a bad situation you are in. Either way, there are ways to reduce if not eliminate her need to ganja up.

I dated a girl who was a huge pothead. I mean, I have friends who chain smoke cigarettes, she chain smoked blunts. Now, she didn't do this to feel awesome and have a great time. She did this because she had a shitty childhood and was avoiding coming to terms with the bullshit she was dealt. After lengthy discussions, we were able to break through a lot of these issues to the point where it didn't matter if she was high or sober, she was still dealing with her problems regardless. So, it reached the point where smoking every 30 minutes was not helping so she stopped and become a much more active person (she would still smoke pot, but only on occasions).

Now, the tough one to get a girl/guy to get over is quiting the weed when they're doing it just to feel great and have a fun time (this was me). It wasn't hurting me at all though, I was still able to go to school and maintain a damn good job the entire time but what i hated about being on it so much was the fact that i did NOTHING when I was not dealing with responsibilities except smoke up. To get out of this mindset (and live a much more fulfilling life) I started traveling, going out.. experiencing things I hadn't before like sky diving and bowling (The dude abides). If you want her to quit smoking so much and she isn't suffering from any kind of mental stress then I suggest you take her out but to places where getting high would only distract her from where you are going (Anything active like paintball, sports, biking should do the trick).

Note: I am not a pot hater. I do ganja up from time to time when I am at a party. And I agree, pot is not a harmful drug that can kill you or make you a criminal. But, smoking it like its the only thing keeping you going is only going to demotivate you.

Edit: The only reason I'm giving this advice is because you sound like you want her to stop. If your cool with her smoking pot this regularly then more power to you both.

Credit to the cause. Now we just need someone on the anti-pot side to give a positive viewpoint.

Ok. I have no plans on dumping this girl. I have had far more than my share of horrible relationships so, i am no stranger to this kind of thing (you know the rules, and so do I). I have no issues with this girl at all. She is nice, we get along very well, and all that other good stuff.

I am not going to dump her. She was a pothead when we met, and it would be unfair to hold that against her now.

I am just looking for some ideas about how to proceed...that don't include dumping her.

Then talk to HER about it. Sorry, but you aren't gonna get anything from a forum that's more useful. We don't know your girlfriend, and we don't know you. We don't know how you work together, we don't know what you two like about each other and what you fight about. Nobody who doesn't know you personally can offer anything other than what they did in situations similar to the one you presented.

But yeah, if you have problems, you should talk to her, or to people you trust who also know her (and THEN her if that doesn't work out, which is probably won't. You know what? Just talk to her).

As a rule, nothing good comes out of illegal substances.

Then you have clearly never listened to music. Some of it's pretty frickin' awesome, and a lot of the artists were off their faces when they came up with that shit.

 

[blacon]

You should try to make her ease off a little bit. She wouldn't have to give it up, but if she just smoked a little less, then you can put up with the rest and meet her half way.

Relationships are about compromise. You both need to sacrifice something here.

But honestly, don't try to make her give up completely. That's being too controlling, it won't go down well.

My best friend smokes weed on average of 6 times a day.

I smoked in college a little but since i got a semi-professional job have been clean.

I say stay with her, as long as her habit doens't inhibit daily life. I guess as long as she can function, it's cool.

 

[Ziadaine_v1legacy]

holy shit, there are some massive retards here, if you dont know nothin' 'bout pot, STFU

You've been here since 2009 and your first post was that. Words cannot describe how retarded it made you look.

OT: Its simple, kill the batman.





....If YOU dont like what shes doing, cant communicate, hold a relationship etc, maybe you should move onto a girl more suited to your personality and let her date someone who's just as big a pothead as her. If its not effecting your relationship, 'nuff said. stay with her (unless she suddenly moves onto cocaine, LSD, etc etc in which case I'd say dump her ass) I've never tried it and at 20 its a little embarrassing since the only dealers in this town are 15 year olds and I don't mean to be age-ist but they can quite frankly go fu...

I'd say the schizophrenia that comes from heavy use is its major detractor. But thats like any substance really, too much liquor will kill your live, too many pies will clog up your arteries. I think what not enough people consider is in moderation most things can be al right.

The researchers stated that "The weight of the evidence clearly suggests that the use of cannabis may alter underlying brain chemistry and precipitate the onset of psychosis [and therefore schizophrenia]... in vulnerable individuals," the University of Otago scientists

basically, if your born prone to develop it, your more likely to. key word is more likely to.

The Prevalance Rate for schizophrenia is approximately 1.1% of the population over the age of 18

if that's the big o shit risk of smoking. i think tobacco and alcohol have it beet.

 

[tofulove]

on a personal note on schizophrenia. i have met many cool people with it. one of them really helped me alot in a jam. there alot of negative stereo types about them, not all of them are violent.

im the type of guy who likes to hang out with the riff raft of society, so i have alot of experience dealing with people with mental illness. some of the coolest people i ever met have came from the background of homeless bums.
