I'm 50, A Life-Long Dem, Very Liberal...And I've Never Smoked Pot.
And I never smoked anything else, either...except a cigar a few times at some celebration (and like Clinton, I didn't or couldn't really inhale). And I've never tried any types of pills or other stimulants.

What's wrong with me? Am I a real Dem?

BTW - I'm being honest here. I've been drunk under the table many times, especially when I was younger. I led the radical charge on the first Earth Day back when I was in HS (our principal tried to stop our participation and we threw a First Amendment hissy fit. I was Student Council prez at the time). I had long hair back then and the jocks hated me.

Am I the exception that proves the rule?

4. I know a few like you.
I think it's neat and rather refreshing in fact. My smoking of anything days were always minimal and after the last time- done. It usually made me either very sleepy or giggly, but cranky the next day. Not worth the trouble. I don't really like my brain cloudy personally. No judgements of those who do, but it's not my thing and I find it appealing when I know there's others around who feel the same way.

5. I haven't either.. and I'm a good Dem
I don't like smoking anything - just my preference.

Actually, I think it should be legalized.

10. I agree. Pot should be legalized. It's ridiculous that it isn't legal
anymore (it was at one time, you know).

It's not a matter of legal/illegal with me. I doubt I'd try it if it was legal.

6. try it sometime!
but I guess you can be a Dem and not smoke. Smoke actually bothers my eyes, I don't like to be around it too much, makes them all dry and itchy.

8. Pretty much the same here

though I will admit to trying pot in college a few times. Can't
do any drugs now, even if I wanted. Occasionally will have a beer
or glass of wine if I'm out at dinner. And I'm a good dem.
