In "honour" of 420 day a marijuana poll

[Barrister]

I thought we had more potheads around here.

Although Yi hasn't checked in yet. 

[Sheilbh]

Illegal and used to use it. Never a massive fan but I had friends who were huge potheads.

If it was legal and you just get it in the supermarket I'd probably indulge a little.

[Tonitrus]

I've noticed in the UK that while the MJ is illegal, hemp products are pretty ubiquitous.

I find that I have to check ingredients rather carefully, as it slips into a lot of things.

[Valmy]

EDIT: that doesn't mean I want it to remain illegal. Time to end the drug war.

Yeah. Sure wish Biden and the right wing Democrats agreed.

Though I haven't totally lost hope. It is a potential winning move for 2022.

Shockingly, I'm in the "it's legal but I've never used it" club.

It's only been legal for a couple of years.  I guess I'm at the point where if it was in the absolute perfect setting I might try an edible, but it would have have to be a setting where I'm with other people but not around my kids.  And I have no idea when that would ever happen.

What's holding you back? i mean i don't expect you to go out there and become a hippie, or anything, but you seem way too cautious. Still a stigma in the prosecutors world?

Not really - there are almost certainly some of my colleagues who use it.  But yeah it's not really discussed openly - I've never heard anyone say "yeah I can't wait to go home and smoke a bowl".

I kind of covered it above.  I would want someone else to be present in case I react badly to it, but I wouldn't want to be acting all stoned in front of my kids.

Like Meri I use it occasionally, it's legal here in licensed shops or to grow for personal use.  I don't smoke, 2 nasty bouts of bronchitis in my 20s ended that for me.  Mostly I use it every now and then to help sleep after those fun days.  I find it to be similar in experience to being slightly drunk.

I would guess I wouldn't use it if I had other reactions, I know paranoia can be associated with it.

Back in the day I'd take a hit if a joint was offered. Pretty sure it was illegal back then, but nobody gave a fuck. Hell I've seen my friends snort coke in broad daylight in front of a cop car and they didn't even bother to give them a warning.

I have known guys who had mental health issues after a lot of smoking, but they were doing all sorts of stuff as well. My take is drugs seem to exacerbate whatever issues you have.

Drugs mix very badly with mental health issues.

Yeah you probably shouldn't do them.

But you know what mixes even worse with mental health issues? Prison.

Champions don't use drugs to stay out of gaol.

What are you implying here?

[Josquius]

None of these really apply to me.
It's illegal and I don't really use it but it's also not accurate to say I used to use it. Depends which friends I'm hanging out with, albeit not for a while what with lockdown and those friends being elsewhere.
