just a rant. am I the only person who dosent like weed?

I know im gonna feel embarrassed after I post this BUT ima post anyways. Im so sick of being bashed for my opinion about weed. No ive never smoked it. But almost everyone I know has.including my mother who couldn't drive me to the hospital (first pregnancy I was only 16) when I started bleeding because she was to HIGH..AFTER she promised she stopped smoking because I told her I was gonna move out of she didn't smoking and my mom is an emotional person so i could have lived with my in-laws or my dad (much better environments but didn't wanna break her heart) my husband (boyfriend at the time. 6yrs ago) use to smoke I told him the same thing and he swore to stop but he lied multiple times ( so weed was more important then maintaining a honest relationship) I remember being 14 and I shared a room with just a seperater in it with my mom and step dad at my aunts. We couldn't afford  a place on our pwn because we had no nmoney but they could get high every night?  Sorry just all over my fb today I keep seeing posts about it being legalized and it was bugging me. Please no hate!

I do not hate people who smoke.  Thats your thing thats fine BUT people still get all offensive when I they ask my opinion and I say I dont like it.

I dont think drinking is better or pills or anything that messes up your senses.  Just weed is a little more personal for me.

People say im more of a druggie than weed smokers because I drink coffee and take Tylenol if I have a head ache. All things that wouldn't effect my ability to drive, carry on a conversation,  or act appropriately in case of an emergency.  


End rant. Once again, sorry.

As soon as I became pregnant it was never an issue with my husband anymore... my mom still was tho so thats exactly what we did, we got away from all those people.  Because I do believe theirs a difference between some 16 year old boy getting high with his friends without a care in the would then parents or people with bigger priorities getting high and my husband  see it that way too. A lot of people do respect it but most people think its stupid because its just a plant and natural?  Lol .. my husband says hes not gonna disown his friends and family over something as simple as that. (Wouldnt expect him to)And its not an issue because thats why we moved away anyway ..So even tho he dosent do it  he just doesn't see why it bothers me soooo much..... lol no one does

"am I the only person who dosent like weed?"..........Well, it really doesn't matter if you were the ONLY person who doesn't  like smoking weed.  If you don't agree with it then that is your prerogative.  

Maybe you should surround yourself with more people who are closer in your values and beliefs, i.e. those that don't drink alcohol or smoke pot,  and not deal with all these bashers.  

Is the weed topic a common topic/daily topic or something?  I would try to avoid discussing it.

I am very Proud of YOU..I hope you stick to your guns the rest of your life and not hang with people who get High!!!
You sound like you just want to be with people who do not want to mess up there Brains..Because that is what does happen when we use. Many of us have become very successful and such , but in the long run it is a dead end street and lots of damage is done to the ones who use Drugs or Drink and become addicted. Believe me I know because I was Addicted to prescription Meds and it did rock my world.PLUS you do not want You & the Baby's to inhale the pot or be watching people snort..shoot..take drugs. That is one of my no-nos for anybody to do this around kids..
You just Stand your Ground Honey..I am so happy for you at such a young age.
PS I have over a Year & a Half from Addiction and you Do Not want to go down this road, being it you or anybody else.
Bless

Weed is for chumps. Not saying it might serve some medical purposes as I am not knowledgeable on that part but regular use...chumps.

I really don't like weed either and tend to find those who smoke it in the 'loser' category much of the time.  That's been my experience.  Most often they are people that are just kind of lay abouts or old hippy types or partiers.  I'm not all that interested in any of those groups.  I had one coworker that was heavily into pot.  They got fired eventually.  I just think it is an ugly habit.  

I think you are smart to not indulge especially since you have seen first hand how something like pot can get in the way of judgment.  good luck to you.

My ride was my mother and if I new she was going to be getting high and not be there for me then I would have gone  to live with my dad or my in-laws but I trusted her. No one made her do anything i said I was going to move out because thats not where I wanted to be if she was gonna smoke. And ibsee the way my post is worded but trust me as soon as I found out he smoked is when I told him I didn't want to be an a relationship with a guy who did and he did keep doing after and I didnt know but as soon as I found out I was pregnant he quit and the only reason I know is because he didnt wanna go into being parents with a bunch of lies? Trust me this was 6 years ago we've moved away from all our family because of all the bad influences. We have two beautiful children which i wouldn't take back if I could.  And I have been judged by some very indecent people but my kids are very young and they already have better lives then me and my husband ever did. And I know people, I love people who happen to smoke weed imnot ssaying it makes you a bad person im saying in my life nothing good has come out of it so why would I want to be around it now?

And no,  babies aren't "mistakes".  Babies are deserving of the best care society has to offer,  and they are precious beyond words.

But I would bet you've been judged very harshly for doing this too early.

i'm going for you being a little bit understand about being judged.

I'm sure you've been judged harshly,  and these posts seem very judgmental toward people who are smoking weed.

Usually,  in my experience,  people who have been judged very harshly give people a bit of a "pass" who are also being judged harshly.

Um yes I posted it on 2 forms? I like to get more peoples opinion then just from one set of people.  It related to relationships and mommy questions (probably should have gone in the discussion form) but the ladies in pregnancy 18-25 have always been the most helpful.  And im not sure how to adress the thing about me getting pregnant at a young age? Im definitely not going to refer to my daughter as a "mistake" if that's what your going for....

That last post came off much more harshly than intended.

I just was kind of surprised by your statement that when you were 16 and pregnant and needed a ride to a medical facility,  your ride was too stoned to take you.

It seems like the pot calling the kettle black.  

But I do wish you well,  and hope you are able to make a go of parenting and a marriage with a man who smokes weed although you wish he would stop.  

Best wishes.

Well,  it seems to me you wouldn't have posted this in two places on this forum if you weren't trying to judge.

Personally,  I think people who smoke weed in moderation are doing the world a lot less harm than people who have babies at 16 and don't see that as a problem.

Im really not trying to judge. I said if you want to smoke thats your thing. But I am getting alot of bad feed back for my opinion. Even tho I have my reason^ for not wanting it anywhere around me. I seen a little girl on tv a marijuana saved her life (long story everyone has probably seen it) I would never say anything negative about that family. Or anyone who keeps to them selfs and respects my wishes to not dobit around me. But people go out of their way to ask how I feel about it im honest and then i get bashed for being a stuck up buzz kill that has no idea what im talking about....

Jrenee,  there are people who think it's wrong to smoke weed and drink,  and there are people who think it's wrong to get pregnant when you're 16.  There are people who think that getting into a long term relationship with someone they know  smokes weed and then telling them they have to stop is wrong.

We could all bloody each other with what we think is immoral but it does seem like he who is without sin should cast the first stone.

BTW,  I don't smoke weed.  I was just struck by your judgement when you have certainly been judged negatively in your life for your choices.  :(
