Yeah I was really nervous. I wasn't about to buy any from the guys trying to sell me some (which was just about everyone). We went to a restaurant and had a couple drinks and asked our bartender and he ended up getting it for us.
So, is this where I confess I wish I could just do that here? I wouldn't mind a little pot now and then but I have no clue where I would even get it nowadays. #old
Ditto. But NC is so not on the legalization train.
FFFC: I've never smoked pot. Maybe I'll try it if it ever becomes legal here.
Never have either. Have no desire to do so. Give zero fucks if it's legal or not. I do find it kinda "immature" if that makes sense. I don't know how else to describe it.

The thought of eggs makes me want to vomit. I've really never enjoyed eggs unless they were super over cooked and almost burnt. Pancakes on the other hand.............

As long as you have less than half an ounce on you you're fine. It's a fine, $200 max. It is a class 3 misdemeanor, so you might get probation, but if you have a clean record you will more than likely just get a slap on the wrist.
More than half an ounce and it goes from a class 3 to a class 1 misdemeanor, and you could do jail time. But that would mean you have like $200 worth of pot on you. To give you an idea of how much that is, I indulge daily and go through 1/8 ($50 worth) every 3-4 weeks. Prices vary by region, but that's a ball park.

What's immature about something natural that can relieve pain, cure ailments, or just all around make you fucking relax? Do you drink wine to relax? Smoking a joint would be no different. Not everyone who smokes weed is a "stoner" like you see portrayed in movies.

That's kind of how I felt about it when I was young, but I don't have a problem with responsible adults smoking pot. It doesn't really seem much different from having a glass of wine or two. But I am lame and like following rules and I have no desire to try unless it is legal.

do you just get it from a friend? How does one go about finding a...resource?
When I moved here from CA I didnt have one, so I brought (or shipped) the vape pen inserts back with me whenever I went to CA. But I started to miss a good old fashioned bowl. So I told H to be on the lookout for 420 friendly friends. Sure enough at a random group dinner when everyone was drinking someone opened up about it and H got his number. So that is how I got my local connection. I don't do seedy back ally stuff, I really feel like this connection made me a friend It can be a super friendly, welcoming community. If you drop hints about it someone will hook you up sooner or later. And 99% of restaurants have a server that smokes, so you could always just ask chill looking waiter or bartender

No. I don't drink wine/alcohol to relax. I also don't think everyone is a stoner for using, just like I don't think everyone who drinks is an alcoholic. If people are imbibing for purely medicinal purposes using forms other than smoking (oil, edibles, however else it comes) I don't believe I would view it the same. But I have only been personally exposed to it by people smoking it recreationally.

Before it was legal here my mom used to get her weed from the dude who worked at the bowling alley.

Ok? Seems a little "I'm rubber, you're glue". I did indicate in my OP that I wasn't sure how to effectively communicate my thought on it. Immature was the closest I could come to it. Eh.

I totally get that it has that reputation for many people. That is why I am so open about my use of it, I don't fit the "typical stoner" stereotype (at least I dont think I do). I do have diagnosed GAD, and I have found many strands that help with my anxiety (which is well controlled through Lopram), however, I classify myself as a recreational user. And shockingly I still have a functioning life! I have a house, a husband, animals, a career, I volunteer and quilt and watch lots of Bravo. Ok maybe that last one doesnt help my cause

I think being close minded is a sign of immaturity. To say "I'm cool with this if its for medical purposes but not for recreational use" (especially having never tried it for either purpose) is close minded. 18 year olds doing bong rips at a frat party? Meh, yeah, immature, but so is probably everything you do at 18. A grown adult smoking a joint on their back porch, alone or among other adults, on a Saturday night? I'm not finding anything immature (or whatever word close to that you're trying to portray) about that.

I am normally a rule follower too, but a big FUCK YOU to the marijuana laws. The history is actually disgusting, the laws are racist (Mexican immigrants used it for recreation, and they are social deviants so it has to be bad), sexist (it makes women hysterical, and women are so weak we have to protect them from themselves) and classist (It was thought that poor people will start using it instead of opium and heroin because it is cheaper. And getting people off of opium and heroin was apparently a bad thing...).
I am totally not saying you following the laws is a bad thing, I get that. I am just taking this opportunity to share the fucked-up-edness of the MJ laws.

I 100% agree that much of my thoughts on this are probably based on reputation. And there are people who do and do not live up to that reputation. From discussing/reading all things animals, décor, and sewing with you, I would say that you are the antithesis of a "typical stoner". To me, the immaturity/irresponsibility (I still don't quite know what to say here) viewpoint comes from people like my friend's H. He spends a significant portion of time and money smoking it. He is unable to advance in any career because he currently works at a place that won't pee test and he refuses to take one. He uses the mental health excuse, but has no formal diagnosis, has never sought treatment, and is unwilling to try other methods of help.

MH and I went to Colorado for vacation a couple of years ago and tried pot for the first time when we were there. We liked it, until we didn't. We did too much, I think? Or it was too strong? I don't know. He ended up getting really... depressed (?) (that's the best way I can describe it) for the duration of the high. I was paranoid. We rented a house and were having sex in one of the bedrooms, and I kept thinking that they probably had surveillance cameras recording us so they could watch it later. So then, I would shut my eyes so I would stop looking around the room for them (all while during sex...) and then I would hallucinate (? - again, not sure how else to describe it) that I was surrounded by aliens and I thought they were going to probe me or something. I ended up stopping the sex because I was freaking the fuck out.
Now we laugh hysterically about it and try to get the other to understand what the experience was like on our end.

I guess I fail to see how this is being close minded. I don't care if someone does it (assuming it doesn't impact my life in some way). I just don't agree with it. Having not tried a drug- legal or not- does not make me close minded.

I understand, your experience with it has a negative association. Associations are normal and legitimate. And sometimes we generalize off of them, but that is why I share, to try and change some of those perceptions I am not trying to influence anyone to try it or anything, to each their own.

I don't think anyone gives a crap whether or not you smoke it or want to. It's calling a group of people "immature" because they do like to that is ruffling feathers.
ETA: And that attitude is what she is referring to as close-minded.
I have never tried MJ, I never intend to, but holy chalupas it's a vice. If you don't have one, you're lying. Pot is far from the worst thing a person can participate in.
speaking of boats....I once snuck into my mom's boat (docked at the marina) with my bf and while we were getting busy I got a fishing lure stuck in my big toe. I tried to be cool and not say anything, so I waited until we finished and ripped it out. It hurt like hell.
Was your mom driving this boat and you guys were in the back?
