How many of you browse this subreddit but have never actually been stoned?

I've been coming to this amazing subreddit for months and have never been stoned in my life. (Although in Vienna, I bought and drank some C-Ice. It was too weak to get me stoned.)

I support legalization, but don't know how to get some weed. Trust me, if I had it, I would smoke it. I enjoy reading this subreddit because I find anything Marijuana-related interesting.

So I'm wondering... How many of you guys lurk but have never actually used Marijuana?

Befriend musicians, college students and hippies. Weed is in every town in the US. Even prisoners find ways to get weed in prison.

Where do you live? Are you sure you can't get weed there? I'm a stoner so I can't see myself living somewhere where weed isn't available.

It was hard for me to find a source I was comfortable with, so I know what he's going through. Some people just don't give off the stoner vibe...

TheGopherOP•

Yeah I definitely don't give off the stoner vibe.

I dress very normally, act normally, and have normal friends who don't smoke and think weed is as bad as crystal meth, but I think very differently. I don't just want to go up to some kid who looks like a stoner and say "Hey, got some weed I can buy?" It would be extremely awkward if he wasn't a stoner.

Try bumming a spare rolling paper off of him, that way it opens up a convo, and you didn't just possibly proposition a cop. =D

seriously though, where do you live? there aren't many places that don't have weed

look up your city on www.webehigh.com

Thanks for the resource. This should help a lot.

I'm slightly offended by the whole stoner stereotyping thing as all looking like Scooby Doo.. :( In reality alot of people smoke including businessmen AND grannies!

You mean Shaggy? If pot smoker's looked like the Scoobster, DEA would stand for Dog Enforcement Agency.

Edit - Bonus acronym - Dogs Eating Acid - A main target group of the aforementioned DEA.

TheGopherOP•

Yeah I know... If you're going to ask anyone for weed, you're going to want to go with your best bet. Most businessmen and grannies don't smoke or deal though. Most people who fit under the stoner stereotype do smoke and would know where to find some.

One time I was in the city (Chicago) riding the L and me and my buddy had just smoked a blunt together, so we were pretty fucking high. There were two men a little older than us on the train too, and they were laughing and generally acting really high. I mustered up the courage to ask them what was so funny, and one of them told me, "We're laughing because we know we're as high as you two are."

Normal according to whom? Your parents? Your church? The DEA? People who maintain 70-year-old stoner stereotypes?

I get your point but you know what I mean.

Just ask anyone who wears a Pink Floyd/hippy band/heavy metal shirt. I've never met anyone in that attire who would have a problem with being asked about weed.

Every time I see one of these kinds of posts in the drug related reddits where some random guy is talking about how he can't get this or that, I wonder to myself if this is actually a cop trying to get people to offer him stuff via PM.

If you live in Portland, I'd smoke you out. Then again, if you lived in Portland, you would be a seasoned smoker by now.

Weekend trip to Amsterdam.

Problem Solved.

Vancouver might be more realistic. ROOOOOAAAAD TRRIIIIIIIIIP!

Arttherapist•

The OP is from Vienna, Austria, so Amsterdam is much closer.

tehbored•

Austria is in Minnesota? When did that happen?

Arttherapist•

Didnt know there was a Vienna in Minnesota, I thought he was in Europe. I don't get out that way very much. Why is practically every American city named after a European one? (unless its an Indian or spanish name)

OP just needs to go to the closest city.

Grow it. Problem solved.

Arttherapist•

Yes because someone who has never smoked pot and can't even find a single person with pot should start off with a grow op. Just like every new mother should start teaching their baby to farm food instead of sucking on a tit.

You sir are brilliant, and I mean that in the most sarcastic way.

If he really, really wants to try it, it is an option. Not worth the risk I'd say if he lives somewhere like an apartment, however. When I was younger I had only ever tried crappy ditchweed and wanted to try quality cannabis, but I lived in the land of corn where such a thing could not be found. I searched online and was surprised to find that getting seeds was relatively easy. So I grew them out in the corn fields and eventually had success.

I also read a detailed account from a sheltered guy, who had never grown anything before, who grew two tiny autoflowering plants in his basement. He only got about 3 grams, but for him it was a very nice result. He felt very accomplished to have his first smoke also be his first grow. A grow op can be very tiny, like a 2x2 foot space, and depending on your living situation it's not such a ridiculous option.

1
Arttherapist•

3 grams = not worth the effort. Months and months of effort, electricity and legal risk plus equipment for a days worth of pot.

You make no sense whatsoever.

Metaphorically speaking it's like suggesting someone build a car because they need a ride to the store.

I lurked here for about 9 months before trying it. And thanks to r/Marijuana, I tried it.

Same here, except more like 4 months.

This subreddit makes me want to smoke so badly. I don't know why you'd ever want to torture yourself by coming here.

As for finding it I'm gonna guess you're still pretty young. I didn't smoke my first joint until I was about 17. I'm also guessing you live in America. Marijuana is one of our biggest cash crops here, so don't fret I'm sure you'll find some.

Definitely make friends with some musicians, as one, I can tell you probably about 90% of us love the stuff and are more than willing to share ;)

Good Luck!

I'm one of those people who, if I ever even started doing anything mind-altering, would quickly track down harder and harder stuff until I got myself killed, trying to get as far away from the world as I possibly can. I'm not even remotely an "it's a gateway drug" guy, it's just that whatever I took would be my gateway drug, because I'm looking for one.

Yeah, that's not healthy, I know.

Anyway, I've been around people who smoked, and I wasn't at all a fan of being around them ('cause I'm a crazy, overly uptight asshole, mostly), but, y'know, the prohibition of most prohibited drugs is just so insane, wrong, and blatantly bad for everyone concerned, and should stop.

Eeh. Anyway, no, I haven't actually been stoned, no.

I don' t know man - it's sounds like you could use a toke or two just to relax. Weed is about as "mind altering" as alcohol so if you're worried about being tempted by its potential to "get [you] as far away from the world as" possible, you shouldn't be. I find it helps me unwind (I too am uptight most of the time) and put many of my concerns for the future in proper perspective.
