You mean like back in the days when we would "wake and bake?"

Non-drinker? Hmm.

A beer with the guys after work?
A margarita on the beach?
Not even a good glass of wine with a meal?

Nothing "wrong" with that at all, but I find ZERO alcohol consumption a bit odd.

Well, yeah, I should have qualifed "drinking" as in going out and getting wasted for the sake of doing so.

As for me, personally, my religion forbids the consumption of alcohol.

My wife and I are ZERO alcohol drinkers. Lotsa Mountain Dew though. I got drunk 8 times when I was 18 in Mexico. I didn't do it right so I quit. My last drink was a glass of champagne on my 21st B-day.

My wife has never been drunk. We met soon after her 16th birthday and since I don't drink, she never started.

I was never "good" at drinking anyway. I could drink to the point of getting a little tipsy. But if I went past that, I'd be hurling in no time. I think it might be a mild alchol allergy.. seems to run in the family.

That's why dope-smoking was more my "thing." No barfing, no hangover. Just a lot of laughing and serious munchies.

But, after a few years of that.. between the ages of about 19-22, I got bored with it and decided it was time to move on.

That explains soooo much. You guys need to loosen up! Or you will have one hell of a rebel on your hands in about 10-15 years.

3 years is not nearly enough time to explore the unique strains and methods of consumption.

You have indica and sativa strains to explore, not to mention the combinations of the two and all the different ways of consuming it (knife hits, vaporizors, gravity bongs, shotgun hits, multi-chambered bongs, joints, blunts, spliffs, hash pin hits, the list goes on).


At least you tried it though. I can never understand the people that go through life never trying lower level stuff like alcohol and weed. Especially if they talk shit about it while never having experienced it themselves.

I think all drugs should be legalized. It'll be a form of population control.

Yeah, I think at least dope should be legal and marketed just like booze is. For one thing, the T.V. commercials for it would be a scream.

I would say that about just about anything, hev.

I went to college with a girl who talked about how Dungeons and Dragons was "the devil's game" and how evil it was. Since I was and still am a fan of role-playing games, I asked her if she actually knew what the game was about or how it worked. She admitted that she didn't, so I gave her the 2-minute explanation about how it was essentially group storytelling. After that, she softened her rhetoric about it, but I don't think she ever tried it herself.

Too much time having the view ingrained, I guess.
