Even at my age I'm often startled at how abnormal people think it is to smoke pot every day. I've been doing it for 48 years.
I've been keeping track over time, catching any polls they might release, and it seems that 1-2% of us have been daily users, pretty consistently. I haven't seen the recent ones - probably more now.
And ... if we've been daily users for decades ... we must be functional people that live amongst the "normals", right? I couldn't advertise it, so no one knew, but I was usually some degree of high at the time. And the other 1-2% around me did the same. Professionals. Accountants, pharmacists, attorneys, car dealers, you name it.
It's really nice to be able to meet so many of you here at 420Mag.
And as an aside ... why don't we ever see the experienced users in the media? Wouldn't our opinions be useful?
I started smoking pot in 1968, and began to smoke daily in 1975. Maybe people like me could offer some experience and wisdom regarding cannabis use.
"Normal" people are by definition ignorant. They avoid interesting stuff. How would they know anything about stuff that isn't normal? They annoy the crap outta me, always have. Bleh.
Jus' sayin'.
