This is strictly for curiosity's sake. It seems like more people partake these days than back when I was running around and I was wondering how the percentages stack up on this board. Thanks for participating.

I’m 32, have had plenty of opportunities but never interested me. I also haven’t drank alcohol in like 5 years 
I'm 62 and, playing in bands in my younger days, I was around it all the time. But I never have smoked it. I drank some in my teens but I have no interest in that anymore. I'm pretty happy and content in my life without either.
Not anymore. Five years sober too. Feel much better.

Never smoke but edibles. Oh yes
Made me spit out of my banana, that’s well done lmao
I used to farm it.
Smoked all day every day, but not in 16 or 17 years now.

Never have. Have never been interested. And like @drew_ukfan - don’t drink anymore. Too busy for real.
Once stumbled into a very large swath of plants in Bullitt Co. was met there by some dudes asking questions. I was terrified until I saw one of my friends from school (was a sophomore in HS), He was the kid of one of the very angry men looking at me. I left there and never went back or spoke a word of it.
This January will make 7 years I’ve been drug free. So no weed for me. Im a former crystal meth addict turned counselor at a Christian recovery center for men. God changed my life now it’s just God, my family, collecting toys and UK basketball!!
Meth is some nasty **** bro. Really tore my family apart.
Same for me.. I've been bought with a dear prices, The blood of Jesus. My life is infinitely better.
It’s the devil.
Off topic on an off topic thread, Isn't there a place on this board where you can go to learn to add pics and videos to a thread. Kinda like a practice board so you dont screw up real threads ?
I work for the government so can't.
That’s awesome, congratulations! But, weed is not a drug, IMO. Now, the meth is a different story, lol.
Recently became a daily smoker again. Got my medical card and being able to take a couple smacks off the pen whenever has been a game changer. Love that it allows me to dose properly without wasting weed or getting too high to function. Smoked a few times during the family reunion this weekend and no one was any the wiser. It also helps me lose weight believe it or not.
I don’t think I’ve missed a day since like 1996
I had a serious sugar addiction. After years of starting and stopping diets, running back to the little Debbie’s, I started carnivore and never had a sugar craving again. I smelled a jar of Nutella the other day and it about knocked me down
Lucky to never get addicted to anything more immediately life threatening

Have y’all noticed it’s just the same 200 people here everyday anymore? Feel like it was once a week, someone was joining in with a “first post” thread. Not anymore
This place was always a sausage fest but now it’s just familiar sausage

I know people who are heroin and meth addicts at the same time. One of each is the worst let alone together .
Occassionally, if someone presents it in a social setting I might partake. But I usually find myself too anxious and bugging out when I'm high.
No idea how people can do it daily. It's the same as drinking for me.. The minute I have a beer, a bourbon or a hit of weed, the next 2-3 hours are a waste. If I have a few of these things in a sitting, the rest of the day is basically a wash.

Have been a daily smoker for the last 10 years or so, trying to switch to an occasional smoker right now.
I not judging your life choices, brother. But it is a drug. Just like my coffee I'm swilling down now.
Yeah, well we are idiots, and message boards are not really the place to be anymore.
So we’re not only idiots, we’re losers?
I always love hearing this take from the pro-weed crowd.
"It's not a drug.. i just uh.. use it pretty much the same way drugs are used".
I am very pro-legalization.. but I'm not so sure its a home-run decision across the board anymore. I live in an urban area, and you only have to go a few blocks to get to what's essentially the ghetto. So naturally both areas spill into each other. And the amount of ghetto cars driving by with weed smoke coming out, smelling like gross blunts.. is alarming, and not to mention, should be punished the same as a DUI. I don't think legalization recreational weed is a net positive for the ghettos. Maybe less arrests, which is a good thing.. but it just leads to more zombies.. more youths who are clearly spending their entire day high.
It's the same as alcohol, if you can't use it in moderation, it will eventually be a problem. You can't use these things to forever procrastinate your life.
Really didn't vote because I don't really fall under any of those categories.
Have probably a dozen times in my life and haven't in probably over a decade.
I mean that's not "never," and it seems like a lot less than " occasionally."
I think I need a "once in a blue moon" category.

Nah, not for me. I occasionally indulged many years ago when I was in college. Nothing against those who do. Like anything else in life, moderation and not making it habitual so that it takes away from other aspects of your life is the key. I don’t view it as a drug, but I think it should be done responsibly.
I can tell you how. Have to go long enough to enjoy things without it again. It took me over a year. I decided to smoke more and call it. Life’s too short. Good luck.
If you had asked this two years ago, my answer would have been easy; no, but been around it enough to know not to judge anyone who does.
That all changed one day.
I was rear ended by a man playing on his phone or with himself, we may never know for sure. I was sitting on a ramp to merge when he hit me going somewhere between 60-65 mph. Only thing that saved me was I was in one of my Chevrolet 3500 dually work trucks that is equipped with a utility Knapheide box. Solid steel bumper.
He completely destroyed his truck. My truck had severe damage but it was repairable. I had a horrible whiplash; was taking therapy for over 7 months. But the biggest issue I got out of all this is something I had never heard of, tinnitus. I have this in my left ear. I can barely hear out of this ear now. I wear a special hearing aid designed to mask the noise I hear 24/7. This noise is not in my ear but my brain. It is so loud, it is horrible. I have a special device I use at night to help me make the noise but it is hell on my wife.
You will never know what it is like to hear something so loud all day and night that it brings you to tears wanting it to stop.
My doctors are real good at wanting me to take all sorts of pills to help me sleep and deal with the anxiety. Some days when it gets bad, I just want to destroy things.
I stopped taking the pills. Just not going to live my life like that. My doctors tell my wife the the suicide rate for people who have chronic tinnitus is very high. Now I have to listen to this ****. At least my doctor told her he feels I have too strong of a personality for that, but it is there to watch. Not happening.
Not long ago one of my workers gave me some weed and said try this. It helped me sleep for the first time in what seemed forever.
The days I get overcome with anxiety from all this noise, it helps.
Problem is, I only do it when I am home and know I will not be going out anywhere. I do not do it all the time, but it has taught me a lesson about not judging others for what they will do to find peace.
I will never have "peace and quiet" ever again but smoking some weed does give me some relief.
It took me a long time before I could tell my two daughters I was doing this. When I did, they both laughed their butts off. Didn't see that one coming.
So, count me a yes.
