Man fuck stoners

[LoneWonderer]

Sorry to hear this was your experience. I don't smoke weed but I can't stand the smell of the stuff when I encounter it. I don't like people who disrespect others in public settings like that at the gym you mention here.

It should be illegal to smoke anything in public.

It is unlikely that the small amount of passive smoke is really going to effect you. If anything, it is ruining your mood due to the negative thinking you associate with weed.

It is still annoying though that people act so inconsiderate. The thing about weed is that it draws irresponsible people who want to blast their brain away. I have a neighbor who smokes weed (judging from the smell) and sometimes like to blast their TV loud 1-3 AM. Psychotic. He plays the same fucking music video on repeat. He's in some sort of trance or something. I had to confront them a couple of times over it. But that is the thing. By virtue of avoiding responsibility and by extension growth these stoners are arguably bad people. Hence why they are so annoying sometimes.

If you can't feel any influence from a microdose exposure to a psychoactive substance, even tobacco, you're either interoceptively inept or you're so used to dulling yourself with drugs that you can't feel any subtle change.

And I'm going even more radical than that. In the gym before, I've been in the same room as somebody who was high, I didn't know that they were there initially, but I felt something was slowly creeping up on me. I was getting the kundalini rush sensation in my spine that I get from weed. I was like "why am I getting high?", so I looked around, and then there is this guy with extremely blood shot eyes who smells like weed. In fact, I think this guy could probably be the cause of what happened with the ventilation system that day.

This is almost a placebo-controlled experiment, because I felt I got high before I saw the high person and before I noticed any strong smell (I did maybe notice a subtle smell straight after). It wasn't that I smelled a strong weed smell and then I thought I got high. The first thing I noticed was the kundalini rush and altered perception. And then I saw a high person which corroborated the theory that it was a weed high. You can only doubt it by saying that the sudden peculiar changes was something else and that I either didn't see a high person or that their strawberry eyes and subsequent weed smell was a coincidence.

@Carl-Richard may as well get used to it- it'll be legal globally sooner than later. Especially with dispensaries becoming the new cash cow as marijuana is going through mass commercialization.

And soon we'll evolve past people needing to numb their consciousness with routine weed use.

there are cases of weed expanding consciousness- so who's to say. Each mind is unique and sovereign to itself

You missed the important part of the sentence: routine. The more often you smoke weed and associate with masturbation and crackers rather than shamanistic rituals, the less consciousness expanding you should expect it to be.

Also, I'm for legalizing weed, but in a civilized society, I'm for people keeping their psychotropic substances outside public areas.

Quote

Public area means a dwelling place, a business, church, school, hospital, school bus stop, government building, a public road, all or any portion of a park, city, town, village, or other similar area that can reasonably be expected to be populated by humans.

If not a law, there should the very least be a norm for keeping weed smoke far away from places where you would expect to run into other people (or where the smoke makes contact with other people).
