These were in the background of my last two videos and people keep saying "is that a big bottle of pot!??!" Back in my day it came in baggies. Does it come in pill bottles now? Probably the wrong crowd to ask... hrm. I will admit it, I smoked pot a couple of times and found it to be fairly horrible. What about y'all? Drugs...yes, no? etc...

If you go to dispenser (like a legal pot giving store or some sort) they give it to you in a pill bottle container. I have way TOO many pot-heads as friends. lol.

lol, I don't know a single nerdfighter who smokes pot. but I tried it once, wasn't a fan.
I'm pretty sure we can put recreational drugs under the worldsuck category.
I remember you or john talking about you having to take those things, I didn't realize they were that big >.< that sucks man. At least they let you buy them in bulk apparently! ^_^ dftba

I'm a nerdfighter, and I smoke it some times.
When I was in middle school though, I had to have surgery and I was prescribed liquid morphine for when I came home from the hospital. I stopped taking it after the second day because I HATED how it made me feel. To each their own I guess.

Never tried it. I'd like to at some point, though. If for no other reason than "Yeah, I tried it. It was pretty good/not for me." As a nerdfighter, I like to make informed decisions before passing judgment.

Well, I've been on various prescription medications for so long that recreational drug use was always an extra bad idea, but that being said, before the advent of good anti-epileptics, pot was the drug of choice for people like me, so I'd feel a bit silly condemning it's use.

Although, if that bottle of yours WAS full of pot, it would help to explain that bacon doughnut you showed us last week :D

no drugs! Pot just makes you boring, but for sick people it's fine. I know some very sick people who are prescribed it and it actually helps them quite a bit when other drugs did nothing or made them act practically a sleep or sick.

But yeah.
I recreationally do indulge in some herbs.
I enjoy doing that.
Sometimes... on fridays... when I don't have to do anything.

There's some people who just shouldn't though.
as with alcohol.

Weed really isn't that bad people. Seriously. It isn't crack. ANYWAY yes I did smoke weed in the past. It is better for you then anything else out there including cigarettes and liquor. I was a C high school student, started smoking and became a B college student. It helped with my ADD calmed my brain long enough to study and yes remember what I had just read. I don't smoke anymore because I'm just at a different time in my life. I don't know if I will ever do it again.

My BFF did pot a couple of times.
At my old high school, some kids smoked weed in the bathrooms. (Dumbasses.)
Some other girl popped pills in science.
And this other girl at my friend's school did acid in class.
Also, I watch Skins.

O! In Health, we had to do little speeches on certain drugs, and this one kid's group got gateway drugs. He spent a couple minutes telling us how to cook with weed. XD

I've only ever seen it in those little tupperware looking things that 35mm film comes in. I guess that's the midway point between baggies and pill bottles?

I'm from Boulder, CO, so... yes I've smoked pot. I don't know anyone in that town that hasn't at some point. And as someone who's been around a fair amount of both, I'd rather have a pothead around than a drunk. The stigma around weed is completely silly, and perpetuated mostly by people who have never been around the stuff.

Hard drugs, though? Never have, never will. I don't even take painkillers (like vicodin) when they're prescribed to me.

I have yet to smoke pot, but I imagine that I will in the near future. I go to a pretty "laid back" school, and everybody seems to have some.
Alcohol, however, I won't be drinking again for a LONG time. Turns out I get very paranoid when I'm inebriated..

I'm a nerdfighter and I'll admit, I smoke pot. Mostly I smoke because I'm an insomniac and it puts me to sleep pretty quickly. Plus, I'm a teenager, it's what we do.

I smoke weed sometimes, about once every 2 motnhs or so I'd say, but I'm Dutch so I'm allowed too :p *is going to regret this stereotype enhancing sentence*
to be honest, I always have an amazing time when I'm stoned. Everything is just so funny ^^ I don't really see a problem with it, because it really doesn't affect my life (except for a few hours obviously) and smoking or drinking are worse in my opinion.

I really don't see the problem in smoking weed every once in a while. It's fun and (yay for being Dutch!) legal. And it's really not as bad for your health as people would ahve you believe. It's a really great way to get rid of some stress and just have a good time. That said, I'm going to have to confess that I haven't smoked and for about two years now I think.. It's sort of hard to find someone to smoke with and I don't smoke (blow, as it's called) alone. There's no fun in finding everything hilarious on your own.

I decided to not judge people on if they do smoke (i never have and never will) but i find it incredibly awkward when people talk about doing it all the time or doing it regularly. to the point where i start to find that person either irritating/immature/creepy/terrible. It seems like I can't ever really accept someone who does that. But if their far away from me I could care less.

I think it depends on your mood and who youre with. I think marijuana is misunderstood, and shouldnt be lumped into "drugs", agreed cocain etc = shitty. marijuana doesnt even compare to that.
