Cannabis and the Hunt Camp

[hunter06]

Never having used the drug I wonder if the increase in use has got to do with every day stress folks are feeling?

Good news on the housing, wages, economy is very hard to find.

I think overall its not a good thing in camp or any where else, I see folks that use is to be very forgetful, unmotivated in a big way and seem oblivious the world is passing them by.

Agree 100%. I got to see it happen to a lady we knew who smoked it. She used to be very friendly even letting her neighbour kids swim in her pool. She started smoking pot and it completely changed her, she became nasty yelling at the kids for playing hockey on the streets, or if a ball went in her yard she would throw it out and refused to give it back.

I don't use pot but have friends that do and it is the exact opposite of your neighbor. They are very calm and mellow. I have a Cop friend that told me he would rather deal with folks on pot than drunk folks.
I understand that pot and booze affect people differently.
Good topic

Only tried it once and it did not end well. Nuff said.

I tried it once at a party, but I never exhaled.

I can't get over how prevalent it's public use has become. I went to a safety course yesterday with 3 other companies and at morning break outside all you could smell is pot. Zip over to Tim Hortons for lunch and the car ahead of me has a cloud rolling out. Back to the safety meeting and I go out to my truck at afternoon break to make some calls and a crew outside puffing away. Get home and take the dog for a walk through the park and a young couple sitting on the park bench puffing away. To each his own but really getting sick of the smell of pot almost everywhere I go in public nowadays. Since legalization it's become a free for all, at least from what I'm seeing. Rant over.

I smoked a bit as a teen 50 yrs ago and not the least bit interested to try it again. I agree with your take on things.

bit off topic this time, but does have to do with pot. What ticks me off is the fact you can smoke in away where in public that you are allowed to smoke a cigarette. To me there is no difference between pot and booze, if you can smoke it walking down the street or in your boat if so inclined then I should be able to have a beer with me as I walk down the street, I don't like the smell of pot so why do I have to put up with it everywhere I go in public. What you do with you time is your business unless it affects others,
