Despite my feelings on the word, I've turned into one over the last couple of months or so. Stoner, its so negative, when really, there is nothing wrong with smoking a bit of bud. I understand where a line can be drawn, I won't cross it, but really, I don't see why some people see us as terrible (only some, some may not care, etc.) when all we do is enhance our life a bit. We'll be frowned upon by an older generation, same generation, or even younger generations; yet we see kids getting wasted all the time, and it's just considered social, when really, it's a lot worse for you. I don't mean to sound seriously angry, I just want opinions. So, what do you have to say?
Agreed, it's pretty condescending. Many people don't realize the benefits of smoking, unfortunately. I'm a human being...not a "stoner."
Usually the only people that have big problems with it, poke alot of smot.. when people around you take notice tthat you smoke a shitload is when its becoming an issue cause its ur fault for not tucking that ish away in a corner of your life.

I'm a human too, hahaha. I just say that, because those who know may consider me to be a "stoner". It is because I have never drank, or smoked (i still don't drink, and i don't smoke cigarettes) until this year, so I'm a little crazy over it since I'm trying to catch up from the lost years. Just a faze, and I don't do it dangerously, where it will affect my life (I'll never let it become that).

I always smell good, and I try to not let people know. When people do find out, they say "I would have never known." Because of the use of the word around me, I counsider myself, you know what. Only other that don't smoke pot and know, would call me that.
[quote name='"pigpen03"']stoners dont care, so who cares[/quote] I would kindly disagree. Some may not care, but other may. It's just a slightly derogatory word. I don't mean to make a huge deal about it, because it is only a plant, and it is only a word. I see where you are coming from, though. It's just my anxiety talking, because I am a bright kid, but the judgement that is attached to the word is slightly unfair. Thanks for the input.
[quote name='"goldenkiwi"']I don't give a fuck, they're the ones missing out.[/quote] Completely agree. I do have anxiety issues (bud.calms me down.) so I find it hard not to care, because one think that is constantly running through my head is: are other judging me negatively? I hope you understand where I'm coming from. Thanks for posting.
[quote name='"BuddhistBrian"']I'm a stoner! I don't care what the label is, just what's inside the box [/quote] What I like to hear. Thanks for the comment bro.
I know lots of people that smoke and some of them fall into that "stoner" category.I also know a lot of people that drink, and some fall into the "drunk" category...just the way it is....

[quote name='"OscarZetaAcosta"'] Can't say I give a fuck, really...Call me whatever you want, shit don't phase me.[/quote] I respect that man.
[quote name='"shaddytheman"']I could careless about an label, I'm more of a Cannabis Enthuiast or Certified Blazer.[/quote] Hahah! I like that. I think I'll use that!
[quote name='"DojaCFR"'] I prefer Stoner over Pothead usually, unless im among friends and pothead is thrown out almost comical[/quote] This I actually like the term stoner, even if someone tries to say it in a condescending way it's just like so what in my opinion. Now pothead I fucking hate a. because I hate using pot as a term for weed and b. because I see pothead as kind of the alcoholic of the cannabis culture (unless used jokingly like stated before).
