    I have lots of friends who smoke, yes they try and get me to smoke, but like a lot of folk's Its the same as drinking. My job requires drug screening, so to keep my employment I don't partake. I use to smoke before I had kids, and when they arrived, I decided it would be good for me, not to smoke...

    I guess you'll both miss out on some amazing people in your life. Sucks to be closed minded.

    I've never done drugs and always tried to distance myself from people that do. I recently made a friend I like a lot who just admitted he smokes now and then. I get that marijuana is becoming more acceptable in our society. I've always felt is kind of a crutch for a lack happiness elsewhere. Would you stop being friends with someone over this?

    Alcohol is a drug. Would you stop being friends with somebody because they enjoy a beer? Shouldn't people who drink get their happiness elsewhere, like from pumping iron?

    I actually do stop being friends with people who think doing anything fun requires alcohol. I hate the alcohol comparison. It's not even close to the same thing. You get a surprise drug test at work after a night of drinking and you still have a job.

    Pot is illegal federally because of politics, not because it is more dangerous than alcohol.

    I've been to a lot of NA meetings with friends and family, and no one was there due to pot.

    I have seen far more devastation from alcohol, which is of course legal. Alcohol is the true gateway drug.

    No, I wouldn't. Would you stop being friends with someone who drinks alcohol? I've heard that is a crutch for social awkwardness and lack of hapiness elsewhere.

    I smoked a joint last night, and I'll do it again tonight. It helps me relax & sleep. You can all unfriend me if that bothers anybody, but I stand by my decision

    OP - are you a cop? You have to answer if you're a cop. Also, I'm just joking. Potheads aren't scary, why would you care one way or another? Are you also not friends with people that drink? Sorry if you already answered this, I skipped to the end.

    Yeah, for sure. I feel like I have cheated myself by not surrounding myself with such highly motivated individuals. Oh well, my loss.

    Once again, closed minded. You're basing your opinions on ignorant stereotypes. Makes me wonder what other groups you judge...
