You probably think that because it is. If someone wants to smoke weed I don't really care, but I get tired weed culture everywhere.
I've smoked since I was 15 but I always though the weed culture was pretty stupid. Even during the days when I would blaze all day long, I'd get annoyed by those idiots who treated weed like a religion and make it a way bigger deal then it was. I cant think of any good examples for obvious reasons, lol, but when I saw the thread title a couple idiot stoners I knew came to mind and I got pissed off instantly. Some people cant enjoy a simple pleasure without douching it up and turning it into some useless movement.
Reasoning being I wanted to know the view of the community here. I don't like pomegranates as they are either, but in salad with some nice BBQ and a beer, its great.
I was asking about weed culture, not weed itself, I know it can have medicinal values for many people.
No my reasoning for why I dislike weed culture is not what this thread is about, i wanted to hear other peoples thoughts and I got a few good answers I agree with.
The smell is disgusting and I hate having to breath that crap in everywhere I go, plus the whole "420" memes and jokes people do are so bland and annoying.
My opinion: this worshipping of weed culture, as well as false "studies" done decades ago, are creating a stigma that's preventing us from actively using weed as an actual medicine in much of the world. While I do agree that weed, at least in the aspects of personal health, is better than tobacco and alcohol, it's still a drug that can be abused.
I have never partaken in any illegal drugs. This may be the reason I don't understand the weed culture. I used to have friends that would watch stoner movies and invite me to watch them too. I would watch, but not understand why the humor was not amusing to me. I enjoy silliness and stupidity as much as the next person, but the whole "wow man" never stuck with me. Now when it comes to things like laser lights and lava lamps - those are cool to me. Pink Floyd was a great band to me. Just not the culture of "I have to be stoned or it doesn't speak to me".
The whole weed culture thing just seems immature to me. You either smoke it or you don't. No need to identify yourself with it.
