33 comments

1. Job prohibits it.

2. Paranoid.

3. It doesn’t give you the _amazing_ ideas you might think it does

4. It gives me panic attacks.

5. Its nasty

6. My brain is already fucked up enough as it is

7. Not into burning my throat

8. Makes me lazy as fuck

   Edit: and even worse, makes me content with being lazy

9. Because I don’t need psychoactive chemicals to cope with my life.

10. I don’t like it.

11. NCAA drug tests

12. I have kids and need to be a good role model. My son’s mother smoked and drank while pregnant and my step sons dad drank til black out. I want them to grow up knowing there’s more to life than that.

13. It’s expensive, and between my work, and my family, I really just don’t have the time to be in anything but a right and sober state of mind.

14. It makes you lazy, and isn’t a higher level way of living your life. It’s avoidance.

15. Why would I?

    What would weed do for me? What problem would it solve? I don’t have chronic pain, or cancer, or any other medical issue where weed would provide a tangible benefit.

    I don’t suffer from depression or anxiety where weed would offer short-term benefits, but even if I did, I don’t think it would be for me. I’ve tried it, it was somewhat nice (though I had a less than nice experience with some cookies), but yeah, a lot of things are nice. A shared meal with friends. Cooking with my partner. Snuggling on the couch with her and the cats watching TV. Going hiking. Having a few beers in a pub. Reading a novel. What possible benefit would weed provide to any of this?

    Prolonged weed consumption leads to short term memory issues, can induce paranoia and sleeplessness. Why would I want any of that?

16. Cuz it’s illegal and I don’t have connections to get some. Don’t know if I have enough $ either.

17. Because I don’t want to. I never understood why people need an excuse nowadays not to drink or smoke.

18. Used to enjoy a good spliff after work a few years ago and then it starting giving me really bad anxiety

19. Because the most I’ll do of any drug is caffeine in my coffee or soda.

    And I kinda like my job. Don’t want to fail a random drug test.

20. Never tried it . The smell really puts me off

21. Doesn’t seem interesting to me at all. Never really had any interest in any drugs. Never smoked anything. Basically never drink alcohol. Don’t really get why I’d want to.

22. It’s just not my thing, mostly makes me light headed and wavy, it’s not bad but it wasn’t super fun or felt good to me either.

23. It’s super illegal and would ruin my life if I got caught.

24. Don’t see the point, no need for it.

25. Have no reason nor desire to

26. Makes me extremely ill

27. Have tried and multiple times before and have never liked or enjoyed it. Plus I get drug tested for my job so that’s another reason.

    I don’t vape or anything anymore either. I quit that shit like a year or so ago

28. Don’t need it. Never been into smoking or doing drugs or any of the sorts.

    Doesn’t bother me when other people do it. It’s just not my thing

29. I really, really value my clear mind.

30. Not healthy, damages the rewards centers of your brain. Increases depression, anxiety. Decreases quality of sleep.

31. It was a crutch. I gave it up and won’t ever go back.

32. Never did, never will. But if Snoop offers me a pass, I’m puffing.

33. Potheads are the most obnoxiously boring people I’ve ever met.

    I want to actually live my life, not turn into some useless, foul-smelling layabout. I get the appeal if your life is an unbearable clusterfuck, but mine is not.
