Do you Smoke or drink?

Don't drink much anymore, like most who don't I really dislike the hangovers associated with the booze but once in a while especially when travelling I get a little carried away but very rarely.

Cigarettes have been my demon for a long time now, really would like to kick the habit but as most will admit it is a very tough habit to kick all I can say is keep trying and one day it will happen.

Now, onto the weed must admit I love it expecially here where the weed is potent, nothing relaxes me better. In our stress filled society everyone and I mean everyone has there habits whether it be drinking, smoking, gossiping, shopping, TV, Forums, porn, grass or other illicit substances etc. etc. etc. we all deal with our situations in our own way.

I would never put anyone down for a habit or a crutch as in order to put one down one must have walked in there shoes to understand the reason behind it and I make no claim to understanding everyone elses problems. For those who choose to condemn first without an understanding of the situation is pure arrogance ie. "People who "Hate" smokers" this is rediculous especially if you don't know the individual who may be the nicest person/people around. It's simply another form of discrimination which is really disappointing to continue to see to this day.

To each there own!

Couldn't resist to enter my 2 cents:

Started smoking when I was 12 from a stolen pack of Kool Straights in 1971. Graduated to Beedees thinking they would get me high. Then at 14 started very occassionally on grass. Always hung out with the older kids who were tuning in and turning on.

Wasn't long before I was experimenting with everything. Really enjoyed Hash which is just a stronger concentration of pot. Dabbled with coke. MDA was an interesting drug. Peyote buttons are a kick if you can get past the nausea. Shrooms were fun, but the same as peyote but not as prevalant.

Tripped a few times on different types of hits. Blotter was a bit of a let down. '___' 25 (liquid) was the best.

Only smoked heroin once (foiling method) and enjoyed it but was too scared I think to revisit it ever again.

Crystal meth, if of a good quality, is quite fun, but watch out for the monkey.

Now, I yearn to smoke a weed similar to what I got in the 70's that doesn't have today's potency. I liked that you have a social high and not get faced after 1-2 hits.

I drink only the finer booze and then only on occassion. Come from a family of professional drinkers and won't ever have that obsession.

Everything in moderation!

Don't regret past experiences at all. It's part of knowing yourself and sometimes telling of what you need to yet learn of.

I'm only 13 so no. Unless...................

No neither, and my friends are very disappointed in me... LOL!!

i smoke cigars, have for years and a pipe (meerchaums) as for drinking,
Good single malt at the proper temp. on occasion, good gin (bombay saphire
2 or 3 small ice cubes and a twist of lime) , Good beer, some that come to
mind are Guiness,Newcastle, any good ESB or IPA, most stouts and porters.

for us anymore a wild night out is 2-3 beers and dinner. maybe a sangria with dinner, we have a great Italian place here that makes a killer sangria.

I drink, but I don't smoke...I am a voice major, not good for me.

Right here we go.

I smoke weed,dope and cigs but I don,t drink much,
when I do I drink Jack Daniels and coke.
I am 36 so I have smoked weed/pot for over 20 years
I have done L.S.D,Mushrooms,Coke,speed,E and even did
Glue when I was young.

Now I smoke weed on the weekends and if we goto a good party
where my friends D.J. I will take an E or 2.

All I can say is

A friend in need is a friend in deed,
But a friend with weed is better.

I would be shocked if anyone here posted yes and agreed. I definiately would never think of doing anything of the sort.

Well if you've read the last BILLION of postes many people have!!! So feel free to die of shock

I don't drink at all. Don't like alcohol at all. I prefer to smoke my poison and my medicine both. Heh. Been doing so for 25 years.

Smoke will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no smoke. ---- old stoner observation.

I smoke cigs, used to smoke pot too. I only drink wine around the holidays. And will be starting a new quite smoking program after the Christmas holiday season this year. Its been proven many times that people who try to quit smoking while under tremendous stress , fail. So this time ima take a different approach. Xanax should help the stress and keeping busy with working out and taking in the help of some new programs...I make suceed.
My views on pot are that of recent clinical trails show proof that this drug is wonderfull for many patients suffering from an aray of diseases. You can even buy seeds online to grow your own. This is a very smart thing to do for those thatw ish to continue use. Not only are the users assured of whats in it, they can cut costs from deleteing the middle man.
As for dinking...everybody knows a glass of wine a day will keep a good many of different types of doctors away. But being the lightweight I am i'll just stick to holidays.
Wish me luck on the umptenth time to try to quit the marlboro habit. So far its been like :bnghd:

Well I might sound holy or something but I'm not. I am very open about my life.I went to alcohol treatment 21 years ago at 27 and haven't drank since and quit smoking numerous times, once for 5 years but this time 1 year and 8 months. I don't plan on starting smoking again this time because we all know our resistance goes down the older we get and I'm not in my 20s anymore.

Smoke like a steam train on a steep hill.

Gave up drinking after a "good" night of drinking I wound up being pulled out from under a car and getting the ka-ka beaten out of me! Apperently my already foul mouth and attitude get much worse after quite a few drinks.

Smoke-YES, Drink-2 in the last year

Ive done a lot of drugs...

probably some that you have never heard of, and I used to smoke a lot of grass. But now I'm trying to not do drugs, but I still drink.

nothing wrong with a little here and there.....moderation is key

"I never inhaled!" LOL

"I had a white wine Spitzer once, ooh I was more beast than man"

All things in moderation. I dont mind a little weed now then, very rarely these days. I enjoy a few bourbons from week to week tho!
Never touched anything else, not for me!

All those who say "all drugs are wrong" i have not problem with, as long as they do no drugs themselves (that includes alcohol and tobacco) those that do this, I have no problem with as long as they don't go around moaning at those who do.

From the way I see it, having your own thoughts about something is great, its what makes us free individuals... however, there are ALOT of people who are either hypocritical or always saying their view, to moan at people.
Especially about drugs, if somebody chooses to use a drug, legal or not, its their choice and their life, and people dont want to have people moan about what you choose to do, I mean if you decided to eat a certain type of food, you wouldnt want somebody moaning at you for eating that type of food... would you?

If somebody chooses to do drugs of any type, leave them to it unless they ask for help... they chose to do it, so as long as they enjoy it, leave them be... You only live once, so people will want to live life to enjoyment, so if they choose to do drugs and you think that its wrong, sure keep your own opinion by all means, but dont go moaning at those who dont think the same way.

This isnt a complaint at anyone in particular, its just a general thought of mine about those people who do do this to people.

Thanks for listening to me go on

The Squid

Alcohol was outlawed before weed and coc aine was in the 30's...

Weed was finally outlawed in 1936 I believe, it started in new orlean's, the news hyped up stories of robberies, a rape, a murder, ect.
I watched it on the history channel interesting info I got...

So when they outlawed weed they brough back alcohol consumption.

Both are bad for your body, one gives you cirrosis or the liver, the other burns the hairs of your lungs and in your throat and can give you lung cancer...Not to mention short term memory loss...

I drink, not much though, I can't pull myself away from those apple margarita's at applebee's... too good..

I know their secret... Go to the food and drink recipes thread and I will post it there.

I don't remember if I ever answered this and didn't want to re-read it all again...


I do not smoke cigarettes...never have

Have never smoked weed...

drink occasionally... usually on the weekends and rarely get drunk.

I smoke cigars, about five or six a month when I have time to finish one. I drink regularly as part of meal sensory enhancement: the right wine with the right meal, the right Spanish Brandy with the right cigar, the right Mezcal Tequilla with the right beer chaser at a BBQ....MAN! That's good stuff!
Our puritanical prohibition on weed is nonsense; the only reason I don't smoke it is because I can't get it. I'm not about to take that trip across the tracks for some skank grade smoke.
I do need to get to Amsterdam again, though!

I forgot to add, I used to smoke cigarettes, weed, purple weed for what's worth (not even 20 cents and a coffee) used to drink ALOT, but again, it's a phase...

I would like to become a beer conoisseur and become a snotty little bitch.
high expectations indeed.
