Yes. I smoke marijuana. Used to be a pothead, since then, I've settled back, and don't use it as frequently. Went from smoking, give or take, 1.5 ounces a day, to probably an 1/8th (3.5 grams, or say. . . 2-3 joints), a week.
However, I'm going to disagree with many of you, and agree with some when I say that a greater percentage of hearing people use marijuana, than that of deaf people.
This observation is based on the following --
Indiana School for the Deaf -- at my time there, couldn't have had more than say. . . 20% of them use marijuana, no matter how rarely.
Gallaudet University -- Okay, so more people there partied hard, but it still wasn't even over 1/2 the student population, not even close to it actually.
These forums -- So very few approve, 'nuff said.
And then there's the fact that I grew up in the "hearing world", and I live there now. I hang out with people from 4 local high schools, and 1 local college, on a daily basis, I party with them, I meet someone new every day. Yet these people, a large majority of them smoke marijuana, I'd say an EASY 80%. No, its not just the people I hang out with, its like that everywhere here. Maybe its just the "small-town-nothing-else-to-do" thing, I dunno, but around here, EVERYONE gets high, multiple times a day, if not daily.
Now I'm going to argue about the old "marijuana leads to other 'hard' drugs" argument. When it fact, it does not. I've been smoking marijuana since I was in 6th grade, I'm generally a year or so younger than everyone else in my class, so I'm guessing I was what. . .11 or 12? Yet, not once have I ever felt I needed to try something "harder". This is 7-8 years of smoking pot, on a regular basis. Yes, I've tried other drugs, that I proably would have tried even if I didn't smoke weed. I'm very open-minded, I'll try anything once.
Scuba, if your friends aren't getting "high enough", then they need to get some primo weed, tell them to stop buying schwag, or mexican brick weed even. Tell them to get some good, dank bud, my suggestion? Kali Mist, White Russian, Durban Poison, and a few others. I've seen BIG potheads pass out after just a hit or two on all of these. This is the "knock-you-on-your-ass-shit" if you get my meaning, that's if you're getting the right stuff anyway.
Any good bud will get you high, I'm saying this from experience.
