Post your Pot

[BigV]

dear smokers

I don't partake, so I'm asking out of ignorance. How often do you smoke? How much of an effect do you seek (I'm sure it ranges). I only have my own drinking for comparison, I drink regularly, but not heavily. I very rarely get drunk enough to be impaired, only sometimes do I feel an actual buzz. I'm curious about the similar habits/effects for you smokers, if you please. anonymous replies are of course welcome.

I smoke until you're pretty.

[BigV]

that is a lot of smoke.

Me, personally, I smoke basically everyday. Multiple times, usually. Occasionally, I'll pull the ol' Wake & Bake, you know, jump out of bed, nothing on for the day, smoke almost immediately. I'll eat a little bite first, though, then hit the patio if it's early enough...I am worthless the rest of the day when I wake & bake. GFN. Good For Nothing.

As far as what I'm looking for? I'm usually looking for the full-on high. If I gotta be somewhere, or do something, I don't smoke til afterward. When I feed the head, I'm feeding the head. I don't usually settle for a little buzz. If I'm spinning one, I'm twisting a tater.

As for drinking, I drink to get drunk. I don't usually drink 'a' beer, it's at least three or nothing. If I'm drinking it, I wanna be feeling it. I will take the odd celebratory shot, by itself, but, even then it's gotta be good stuff.

Oh, and the only time I drink whilst dining is if I'm eating pizza, or spaghetti. As a rule I don't drink a lot in bars/restaurants.

Damn.

I just bent a resolution.

What, by posting that? You can still edit it.

I appreciate your honesty. One of the great things about the cellar is reading honest stuff by other people.

I drink somewhat often, but don't drink to get drunk. When I start to feel it, I stop. It's pretty rare for me to have 3 drinks, and I haven't had more than 4 drinks in a decade or more. Usually, it's 1-2 drinks. But sometimes, I feel a call from that glass of wine. When I realize that the wine is calling me, that bothers me a little, and I'll cut back. I drank almost every night over the holidays, and that felt like too much, so I haven't had anything in the last week. Not a resolution, it just hasn't appealed to me.

In college, I got seriously drunk every weekend. To the point of blacking out and throwing up routinely. I enjoyed it at the time, but in hindsight, it wasn't good.

Every day, several times a day. There's nothing quite like that first spliff of the morning.

Nah, it'll be fine. I'd thought about leaving a little more Me® outta the Cellar this year.

I never drank much at all, until I had four years federally supervised dope-free probation. Longest stretch w/o a drug test - 21 days.

You can drink all you want, just don't get into trouble.

Hello, alcohol, my new friend.

Looks tasty.

For the most part I drink only to be sociable when we're eating with friends, once every month or two. About twice a year I'll deliberately drink to relax, but even then it only takes 1-2 drinks before I'm wavering a bit, and then I stop. I haven't been anything close to drunk since my bachelorette party, almost ten years ago.

I've never smoked pot.

[DanaC]

I rarely drink alcohol these days. I had some port over Christmas and New Year. Out of the two bottles I bought I still have half a bottle left.

I just have such a ridiculously low tolerance for alcohol. And my 'tipsy' stage is too short, followed almost immediately by my need to sleep right now stage.

Easy drunks are known here as either a "cadbury" (glass and a half) or a "dynamo" (a third of a cup, in with the wash).

Hmm, I wonder if these ad slogans will be recognised in the cellar...

Me, I smoken a pots or two most days, but not everyday. I usually don't smoke until "evening" which may be 4 to 6pm. That way I get stuff done during the day. I'll usually smoke if I go for a hike or something.

I rarely drink, maybe a glass of wine with dinner or a beer with a friend two or three times a week.

I never touch tobacco, even in a mixed joint. That shit is nasty.

I keep coming back to this thread looking for cute pet pictures I must be getting a contact high...

It has been many many years but my smoking was purely a social activity. I would smoke at parties or while camping or skiing. I would go months without smoking. The buzz level was generally appropriate to the circumstances. The guys I smoked with usually considered a light buzz enough, although there were the rare bake-offs. It is too bad it is illegal since pot is much more appropriate for me than alcohol which I drank to get drunk and built a hell of a tolerance for.
