Poll: You're at a party.

[Ham_authority95]

It's estimated that about 80-some% of all humans will/have smoke(d) weed.

Of that number, about 50-ish% will continue smoking it regularly.

I call absolute bullshit on those statistics. Can you give me proof that 40% of the six billion people on this planet smoke weed regularly?

Actually it could be higher

Notice how that is a national study? I.E only surveyed in the US? Get a worldwide study that polls more than a few thousand people and I will be satisfied.

 

[Death God]

I never give into peer pressure and I hate drugs and drug users. I'd just leave the party.

 

[Abedeus]

No, and why would I want to be on a party? Music is terrible, people are all idiots and it's too loud.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

At a party, in there house, at my house, at the pub, in a field, at some game, on a plane, no.
The answer, anywhere, and it any situation is "No".
If they try to force me, it is at their own risk.
If they don't, they'll be lucky if I don't grab the damn thing, throw it on the floor, and crush it under my heel...

 

[linwolf]

No, have tried it one time and have no desire to take it again.

 

[Spinozaad]

Certainly.

But seeing as I'm Dutch, and many of my friends and I enjoy our weed, I suppose I'm not part of the group at whom this poll is aimed. :')

[Vallds]

Nope, tis illegal

Probably not, as I don't even remember where I heard those statistics, but I wouldn't doubt it anyways, weed is recognized as a harmless recreational drug in many places of the world, including (not officially, of course) a lot of places in the U.S.

I'm not going to debate population statistics that I have no proof of, but what I can say is that weed is a whole lot more common than most people realize.

I could literally break into any given locker in my school (not that I would) and find evidence that a person smokes weed, I even saw a glass pipe in one of my teachers' desk drawers once (probably not a good idea on his part).

Anyways, since I can't provide a decent argument, how about you prove me wrong?

 

[PeePantz]

I once held the hand of one of my opponent?s wife?s hand in a jar of acid.... at a party

Where's this option?!?!


Seriously though, it all depends how comfortable I am with the people there. If they're all my friends then probably, unless I'm getting a wee bit shitfaced.

[ThePurpleStuff]

Although if you were at a party, then you'd have to assume that the majority of people will be drunk or high right?

Well, knowing that I'd probably leave, even if it's a best friend's party, I don't enjoy anything like that. It's nothing against the people themselves, it's the substances I don't want to be in contact with.

 

[Tixek]

No.
I am not so miserable and petty to rely on a substance that grants one a fake and short reprieve from the never ending spiral torment of sorrow that is their life.

 

[PeePantz]

Nope. That's when I leave, and consider calling the cops.

Party pooping is no fun. Why would you ruin the enjoyment of others when it has no consequence on you whatsoever?

 

[nick_knack]

Nope. That's when I leave, and consider calling the cops.

My god. Who are you, George Bush?

I mean, I thought I was a socially maladjusted nerd, but the people on this thread! Jesus....

EDIT: Say you did call the cops. Know what they would do? Laugh in your face. They have better things to do than try and enforce drug laws at a house party.

I see your point now, I guess. I'm not really against weed in any particular way(just the annoying stoners at my bus stop), and I'm aware how common it is, but I hate it when people show statistics without a source.

So yeah, no hard feelings?

but just miserable and petty enough to rely on a videogame to grant yourself a fake and short reprieve from the never ending spiral torment of sorrow that is your life?

I fixed that for you. And no. I will not lighten up. And I will not smoke weed, or partake in the ingesting of any other illegal substances.
What I have against them are on a personal level. Not that I'd want to mess up my life with them, even if I didn't have a personal hatred of them.

This begs the question what you would do if some of your favourite 'substances' would become illegal...

 

[Vinnyz95]

No, of course not. I have never taken nor have any desire to sample illegal drugs.
