i've always been a "straight arrow". i'm not the least bit judging if others make different decisions, but for me, there are a few things i will never do. maybe it's not entirely rational, but most people seem to figure that if i've never even gotten drunk or smoked, i'm probably telling the truth about never trying weed.

Only if they manifest they've never even gotten close to it (and are under age 90) hlthe2b Feb 2014 #1

I didn't say that I've never gotten close to it. I've been offered pot many times, just never did it stopbush Feb 2014 #4

I wsn't at all referring to you, but rather the generic example... hlthe2b Feb 2014 #16

So just acid and shrooms? snooper2 Feb 2014 #5

Nope. Never even was in a situation to be offered those things. stopbush Feb 2014 #7

Shrooms are no joke.. giftedgirl77 Feb 2014 #9

You have a point. Politicians are so fearful and gutless at times. stopbush Feb 2014 #10

Rubio lies so much, why start believing him now? I believe you. n/t FSogol Feb 2014 #11

I think he got another thing right: "It's irrelevant." malthaussen Feb 2014 #13

I do think it is relevant if fighting for strict anti-pot laws... Just as sexual orientation MIGHT hlthe2b Feb 2014 #17

But why relevant in that case? malthaussen Feb 2014 #24

I think advocating to punish others for deeds one has done yourself ought to be explained... hlthe2b Feb 2014 #25

That'll work. malthaussen Feb 2014 #27

As I said, I don't think it is 'generally' relevant... hlthe2b Feb 2014 #29

Like you, I don't hold it against people if they smoke pot. I'm for legalizing it. stopbush Feb 2014 #20
