Could you date someone who smokes weed regularly?

Question

And let's say this is no typical pothead neither. They go to work every day, they have responsibilities and obligations to attend to. The only thing is that they smoke weed on the side sometimes.

Could you date someone like that, or would the weed really be an issue you couldn't ignore?

Why or why not?

Weed changes people. If he works as often as I do, comes home and smokes weed every night I honestly would not be okay with that. I'm all for weed, I think it should be legalized-- I just don't want to be with someone who is high all the time.

If he smokes maybe two or three times a week, I would be completely fine with that as long as he made time for me. Sure, we could still be around each other while high-- but I hate the smell and that after tastse you get after someone smokes near you, I dislike the idea of being intimate with someone who is being altered by any sort of substance, and I would prefer them to be completely sober if we were having a conversation.

I would prefer someone who only smoked on occasion; if its medical, I'd make exceptions.

Generally, yes I would (and I have) date people who smoked weed. If its recreational, I would dislike for them to smoke often. If its medical, I suppose I'd have to suck it up. But I'd probably dislike it, as I would have a partner who would be high often.. and smell like weed... which is such a turn off. nothing kills my libido like being all "excited" and then realizing my partner is on something :/

Yes.

Weed doesn't severly f*** people up like hard core drugs; the person is a little bit slower and relaxed, but still the same person.

They don't go all crazy like meth heads, or tweak out or lose their mind like they do when they're drunk - which is why I don't understand why weed would be a deal breaker for someone, whilst drinking alcohol occasionally is okay. Um alcohol is far worse, and so are it's side effects.

Anyway, you can function well, sometimes even better when your high - can go through your entire day working, taking care of what you need too etc -

So weed is definitely not a deal breaker.

Unless it's ridiculous - like the only thing they want to do is get high all day every day - lack of ambition etc - then it's a turn off.

But I smoke occasionally myself, so I'd be pretty hypocritical to say I wouldn't date a guy who does the same thing or a little more - and two, weed just isn't that powerful of a drug.

I've yet to have a bad experience with a pot head ha ha...

Sure, as long as it isn't their whole life

My ONLY problem is with those who make it their whole life. There are those people and trust me, I KNOW PLENTY of those people, who make it their whole lives. They come to school high, they decide to skip class to get high, after school they get high, it's just a cycle. Those are the same people who fail the TAKS test(common sense state standardized test) & fail simple classes like English class.

Sure, there are stupid people who smoke pot but not all people who smoke pot are stupid.

So yes I definitely could.

I'd be a hypocrite at this point to say otherwise. I don't do it regularly...what is regularly though? lmao

I would have no problem dating someone who smokes weed as long as it doesn't get out of hand. I consider things getting out of hand when you smoke everyday, act strange/crazy while under the effects of it, becomes the topic of most of your conversations regardless of wether I'm involved in said conversations or not, and maybe a few other things I may have missed. Like a lot of previous answers stated as long as your life doesn't revolve around it I'm more than OK with it, hell I'll even smoke with you every once in awhile =D.

Nobody wants to go out with some tahd what gets all potted up in his spare time. "Just Say No", "A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste", "Why Do You Think They Call it Dope?", "You Can Pick Your Friends, and You Can Pick Your nose, But You Can't Pick Your Friends Nose". I'm afraid the only good pothead, is a dead pothead. Nancy Grace was forced to smoke pot as a child and look what happened to her!

Cuddle_Muffin · Answer

Nay. I don't like drugs in general...Everday weed is pushing it!

Many weed lovers on gag will obviously hate my answer...but no need faking a personal opinion.

I honestly wish all weed and cigs could be illegal.

I don't want the man I will probably be with 90 percent of the time to be high...or getting high around me...or just smoking in general...it disgust me. I will not tolerate...so it would be better if he smokes that stuff far away from me...everyday..which enables a break up...or no relationship in general...I don't like that stuff.

*That stuff stinks.

*I hate the way people behave while high...it isn't a good time.

*That stuff stinks.

*I don't like smoke.

*That stuff stinks.

*iIlegal (unless medicinal)

*That stuff stinks.

Nuff said. (haters, downvote me..and try to argue...like always...-_-)

I think smoking in general is disgusting, no matter what they're smoking. That's an instant deal breaker for me. I don't want to be around any of that.

calialltheway1993 · Answer

um I personally don't mind it. half my friends back in hs were potheads and I hung with them alot. I don't smoke and never will and they totally respect that and I respect their smoking habits because after all, there is a reason behind every story so Idc. I also don't mind cigarettes... I don't know why I don't care maybe its because that's a minor thing, even though its major for health problems. I don't know I'm weird...

Brando · Answer

Like its been said before, not if it's their whole life because frankly- I have sh*t to do and having someone be high constantly would mean they're a burden to me. Weed isn't an issue and I think it should be legalized, but we all know those holier than thou or militant weed smokers. They're annoying to me and contradict their own message of what they try to tell people.

gotc147 · Answer

Wouldn't date someone like that. They already made one pretty damn bad choice to start smoking, so, it's highly likely they'll make pretty damn bad choices in the future.

hanskis · Answer

Yes, if they had other priorities I would be cool with it. And yes of course if it was for medical reasons I wouldn't care either.

My concerns however would be that if I got into a really serious relationship, and thought about having children with the guy.. I wouldn't want my kid to be around weed. But I'm not at that stage of my life yet so I wouldn't mind dating someone who smokes weed.

Camilus · Answer

I am a former weed head, but since I no longer smoke anything I would prefer that any girl I dated didn't smoke as well.  Women who smoke cigarettes are also not my thing either because they always ask you to run to the store and buy them a pack with your money ...and then they smoke in your freaking car without asking.

Ugliness · Answer

Weed has nothing to do with it.

I couldn't date someone who smokes regularly.

Actually I probably would prefer weed over tobacco.

But still it wouldn't last long.

Smokers and non-smokers don't coexist in the same space very well for long periods of time.

In fact I told my wife (she asked) that if she ever took up smoking we'd break up.

Not from lack of love, but from lack of air. I couldn't live in that puff puff environment.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes, I could. As long as it's not something that takes over their life, than that's fine. I pretty much fit this description. I'm a full time student with a part time job, who occasionally smokes a little weed with my friends. I'd be a hypocrite if I said no.

cun7n1nja · Answer

That wouldn't be an issue for me at all, especially if they're the kind of stoner that you describe here, because that's what kind of stoner I am. I still go on with life. =P But yeah, I'd be fine with it, we'd toke up.

Anonymous · Answer

No, because I don't do it. I wouldn't want my partner doing it whether it's medical or not. Plus, I think it makes people look stupid to be honest. Same with alcohol. I'm not fun, eh? lol I'd be friends with them, I guess, as long as they aren't doing it all of the time or talking about it all of the time.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't like that someone is high all the time. No, it would bother me. It is still illegal, and it still is technically a drug.

Standingpretty · Answer

I would be fine with it as long as it isn't there whole life or they don't put themselves in a situation where they can get caught.  For medical reasons that would be okay, as long as they limit themselves.

xxxmegan · Answer

I'm incredibly pro-weed. It helps me relax and it's a better option than other things. I'm incredibly likely to become addicted to smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol. The way I see it, I can't chemically get addicted to it or rely on it. All it all, I will date someone who smokes weed until it becomes an issue or they start doing other stuff.

DianaDDreamer · Answer

NO! mostly likely not! maybe if it was not everyday!

TheMistressMinxxe · Answer

yes, and I do already. I would not date someone who smokes it for "medicinal" purposes though - it's illegal for me too but I don't try to justify ingesting a depressant with any medical excuse - that's just plain deluded and stinks of poseurism.

drummerdude25 · Answer

I would prefer that my girl doesn't smoke anything at all...

I don't smoke and never will. It's definitely a turn-off, borderline deal-breaker, especially if they've made a habit out of it, or smoke even semi-regularly...

heavenonearth · Answer

I wouldn't have a problem with it if he's like what you described. It's only a deal breaker if he isn't doing anything with his life and just smoking.

JCUcupcake · Answer

Yes I could because I smoke it regularly as well. I have no problem doing my daily tasks like going to class and work while still making time for relaxation so if they can do the same all is good.

gummybear888 · Answer

should cut the habit. weed isn't a necessity usually. it's good he keeps himself busy but I don't want to be emotionally involved with someone who can't cut the habit
