My H used to buy 1.5% milk. Like, either he was incredibly picky and had a very sophisticated palate, or he was indecisive or had commitment issues. I indulged him for a while with that nonsense but now only buy whole milk and he doesn't complain. We only use milk for cooking or occasional cereal.
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.
That is really interesting, and admittedly not something I have thought much about. And based on my limited knowledge, legalizing it does make sense to me. The link doesn't work but I would love to read it.

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.
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
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?
My apologies if this was already asked, haven't finished reading yet

That outfit though...
I was actually going to say my FFFC outfit might be working against me ha ha! My poor husband is so well dressed and well groomed, I dress myself like a toddler would and probably comb my hair as often. Apparently he didnt marry me for my looks!

For the longest time, I drank skim because that's what my parents insisted on using. When MrRama and I first started dating, I had some of his dad's 1% milk. I felt like I was drowning.
And then promptly after becoming a member of society (AKA being 19 and getting my first apartment) I started buying 2% milk.
I might want kids partially to have an excuse to drink whole milk, even if it will kill me at first.
Base on this alone I want to go grow a plant or two.
I've done it. In CA where it was legal or legal enough, I cant remember It is expensive to get started (around $200 is the low end), and a loooong process (2-3 months in veg, 2-3 months in flower, and then the drying time, then the curing time), but so worth it. You can get over $1,000 worth from one plant, and you know you are not supporting some sketchy drug king pin who dog fights and god knows what else on the side.

This was basically me too. I grew up drinking skim milk and so that's what I bought when I first started shopping for myself. Then I read something that explained how they make skim milk and decided that I wanted to drink "real" milk instead. But I couldn't stomach 2% or whole. So we switched to 1% and that's what we buy now. We could probably work our way up to 2% by now but we haven't yet.
But you aren't just not agreeing. And you do care. Because you're judging them. Me. Anyone who has and does do it.
I apologize if it came across that I was judging you and/or other member here. That was not my intention of my OP, and I did apologize with the over generalization.
I guess I believe that just because I don't agree with something specific that someone says or does, I am not judging them as a whole person. My stepdad is a Republican, I don't agree with how he votes, but I love him for what he does for our family and how kind and caring he is. I don't agree that my grandma smokes in her home, but she is an amazingly generous person. Hell, this board has good natured debates about butter storage, but I can't imagine that anyone who is team fridge butter is judging anyone who is team counter butter as being a horrible person? I get that marijuana =/= political views =/= butter storage. I'm just trying to illustrate that disagreeing with one small part of someone's life does not mean I'm judging them.
Again, I apologize for the over generalizing. It was not my intention. It did appear judgmental. Having never tried it, I can't say that I don't agree with it because of how it made me feel. Maybe I should have said I don't agree with it because of how it smells? Or I don't agree with how it appears to negatively impact someone's life (because the negative impacts are subjective, I'm sure there is issue with that statement as well)? IDK.
I was going to wait to finish reading to respond but honestly?? A giant part of the problem here is because you used the word 'agree'. Swap in like in some of your sentences - I don't like the way it makes me feel. I don't like the way it smells. I don't like that my dad is a republican. I don't like that grandma smokes in the house. You don't have to *like* anything. But agree sounds really fucking judgmental, whether you meant it or not.
Word choice matters. It always matters, but it especially matters here, when 98% of the communication is the written word and the other 2% is gifs.

Nancy Botwin? Is that you?
ha ha ha! No, it was a one plant operation. I started out with 4 seeds, 3 sprouted and grew. Bust since they werent feminized seeds 2 plants ended up being male so those had to be destroyed.

Why do you have to destroy the male plants?

Only the females flower, the flowers are the buds that you smoke. The males just grow pollen sacks that explode, and if your female gets polinated she will seed. That is bad. It takes away energy from growing big, luscious, smokable buds
ETA: I didnt know that either until my one and only grow. If I had known I would have bought feminized seeds. I dont know how they do it, but they have seeds that are basically guaranteed to be female. Occasionally you will get a hermaphrodite (hermie) but that isnt common and sometimes you can just cut the branch with the ball sacks off and be ok. Literally the male "preflowers" look like ball sacks. That is the way you early sex.

I don't smoke pot but a lot of my friends do. I like the smell of it now.
If it were legal I would try it, but I worry it would make me have really bad anxiety (I struggle with it enough as it is).
Depends on what you're smoking.
I've heard that. I'd be willing to explore more if it were legalized. The hesitation comes from losing my job if I get in trouble with that kind of thing

LOL! I find this incredibly interesting but also really hilarious. If I had a male plant I would use it to intimidate MH. Like, when MH and I get in an argument I would get the plant and slowly cut off the ball sack while giving MH a death stare.

Preach. Take the high road, legalize marijuana.
As far as all of my experiences go - I'd rather people smoke than drink. Being the only sober person around drunk people often sucks. Being sober around only high people is usually hilarious or just chill.
(I'm not often the only sober person, but for the sake of comparisons)
