Do you drink/smoke marijuana?

 

[teddy bear doc]

Glass of wine with dinner. That's about it, though...

 

[CapnCrunch]

I'm surprised that my division was the majority. I thought there would be much less people who have never drank alcohol before.

Nope, never touched the stuff. Granted, I'm underage, but the sad truth is that even a person my age who has never drank alcohol is a rarity.

So neither of you have even tasted a beer? Or taken a sip of wine/champagne?

Why?

 

[Poliscidoc]

Weed just on Spring Break but not really any other time. Then I drink way to much on spring break then just on the weekends during the school year.

 

[TriagePreMed]

Tried some pot in high school and drank a bit in college. Only time I drink alcohol is on special occasions like Christmas or New Years.

P.S. You forgot "both regularly" in the poll.

^^good call

in be4 the move to all students forum

 

[auburnO5]

I do drink marijuana from time to time.

 

[kami333]

^^^

Same, but regularly.

 

[MidnightSun32]

I drink every now again, but have never been drunk before. I'm 25 years old. I've never tried any type of drug. I think I learned to not drink much from my step dad, who is a raging alcoholic and a horrible person to be around.

 

[Practitioner]

Me neither, no.

Why?

Why not? There's plenty I haven't tried in life others have and plenty I have that others will never care to. So?

 

[Hope0913]

Never drank, never smoked, never did any drugs 😎
i guess you could say i wasn't interested lol

 

[Elpenor]

I drink every now again

I've never tried any type of drug.

 

[orthomyxo]

Ok, fine, I've had a sip of ****ty champagne on New Year's Eve once, which I immediately spit out because it tasted like garbage.

Why?

Underage, not interested, better things to do than get wasted.

How do you know what's "better" if you don't know what getting wasted is like? You're telling me you have an accurate understanding of the psychoactive effects of alcohol without trying it?

 

[VTBuc]

I drink regularly...beer or a glass of wine with dinner. Maybe a nice mixed drink(7&7 or Bailey's w/ Coffee) during an evening movie. And of course the occasional party or bar trip.

It's fun, it tastes really good, and I'm 22 so why the heck not? It's not like alcohol interferes with anything so I don't see any harm in it.

 

[MidnightSun32]

Elpenor~

illegal drug... better? lol

 

[orthomyxo]

Ok, so by this logic you should try everything once regardless of the supposed effects of the substance/activity on your body?

Excuse me while I go put on a Batman costume and perform some auto-erotic asphyxiation. I've heard the orgasm is like super crazy, that is of course, unless you don't suffocate and die. Your logic sucks.

Also, I never said that I have any understanding of the "psychoactive effects of alcohol," but I'm pretty sure I did say that I do not care about experiencing them. Me saying that I have "better things to do" stems from the fact that, in my opinion, drinking alcohol in excessive quantities is not conducive to rational, constructive behavior. So yes, I'm pretty confident in my ability to find something else more important to do.

Drinking alcohol is a nice stress reliever and fun with the right people. So is smoking pot. Neither of which are dangerous, so no it's not really comparable to suffocating yourself.

Stay away from New Years champagne, no one ever buys anything good since they always buy some cheap bulk brut. Soda water + Everclear tastes better.

For cheap champagne I like cava (Spanish sparkling wine), it's easier to find good cheap cava than cheap champagne since a lot of people just want the "champagne" name. Also the rose sparkling wines are usually tolerable for non-drinkers too.

 

[Danlee07]

point i'd like to make though to both: don't dump opinions on them to convince they're right or wrong...

to people who haven't tried it:
drinking doesn't mean getting schwasted everytime you touch alcohol. can mean a couple beers or a shot. and the idiots you see making poor decisions are wasted...but can't control themselves. so if you are one of those idiots, you just have to learn when you feel your buzz and stop so you don't act like a *****...

It's pretty difficult not to drink 🙂

I think you missed my point.

You sound about as much fun as water and wheat bread.

 

[nbp222]

i can't imagine my life without both. that could be a problem...

 

[echolalia16]

Alcoholism runs in my family and consequentially so does all the baggage associated with it. As a result, I've decided it best I don't drink, however I don't have anything against anyone who does or smokes pot.

 

[LiveUninhibited]

None of the choices apply to me. Have done marijuana maybe 3 times. I like the smell of it but don't get much out of it and would never pay for it. I used to drink every other day but now drink about once a year. I like the taste of alcohol but don't really like to get wasted. My drug of choice is caffeine and I'm pretty addicted to it.

The format for the poll should've been multiple option with the following choices:

Never tried either.
Tried alcohol.
Tried marijuana.

Use marijuana about or less than once a year.
Use marijuana about or less than once a month.
Use marijuana about or less than once a week.
Use marijuana multiple times per week.

Use alcohol about or less than once a year.
Use alcohol about or less than once a month.
Use alcohol about or less than once a week.
Use alcohol multiple times per week.

You sound like a douche for passing judgment on someone you've never met in your life, and never will.

 

[Hifey]

The way the question was worded I thought (and voted) that I've never smoked nor drank marijuana haha.

Well I haven't ever had marijuana and don't plan on it. I don't find any form of smoking attractive (including the legal stuff like hookah and cigs).

I have had drinks before though. There's usually either wine or rum in our apartment at any given time. I don't like the taste of alcohol though so I have stuff like mojitos, sweet wines, pina coladas, and rum and cokes (extra coke). Never been wasted. I usually fall asleep first. It's good to know your limit and to realize how you want to come off to people. My max is like two drinks before I start falling asleep so I limit myself to one while in public lol

Haha, this is so funny. It is exactly my case. I really like how it smells, but hate what it does to me. I became an idiot and couldn't really talk when I smoked in the past. I do like it when other people who can tolerate it better smoke it because I can catch a whiff of it...

In regards to drinking, I love wine. Rioja or shiraz are my favorites and drink them with dinner almost every Friday/Saturday. Beer is ok with some foods.

If you meant than water = a kegger and wheat bread = girls volleyball team/sorority sisters...then you sound like someone I want to party with. 😀

 

[chman]

To be honest, I used to do both rather heavily. Luckily, that part of my life is behind me and I can focus on more important things. I don't mind people that still do, but it is just not for me anymore. I like to be able to wake up in the morning and actually want to go for a run, instead of feeling like I want to puke.

 

[AuH2OScholar]

I find it ironic that the judgemental people always seem to be the ones who drink/smoke. Perhaps some are overcompensating, believing that they are being negatively judged by those who don't partake in these activities and wish to pre-empt that judgement with their own judgement. Perhaps some just happen to be jerks. And perhaps others are the refuse of society.

Yea, especially at a school like UofA. 👍

Minus the heart, liver, brain, and kidneys. 👍
