Smoking isn’t that big of a deal.
I often sit in an empty bar and wonder how much fuss I’d cause taking a puff off my one-hitter. Chances are the staff smokes too. No one else would know. The smell doesn’t stick. It even leaves a pleasant lingering hint that something calming happened here. Like your grandparents house.
I could use calm.
We need a new word for people who use marijuana. The current slang was created by the baby boomer media clowns pioneering the war on drugs. Pothead. Stoner. These are the words for someone that smokes until they’re stupid. A totally valid use but not the only thing on the market anymore.
In a culture of functional alcoholics I am a first generation functional marijuana smoker. I prefer a nice indica when relaxing after work. I think Blue Dream is a stimulating catalyst to hanging out with friends. The variety of effects available in today’s marijuana market is exactly why medicinal use is skyrocketing through state legislatures.
Given the American South’s ability to ignore rampant alcoholism at work and home, this area should jump ahead of its time and see about setting the tone for functional weed addiction.
