I'm so tired of the sexy spin that my generation has put on smoking pot. Tumblr, google, pinterest, anywhere on the internet you can find a picture of some ripped guy and a half naked girl taking a bong rip and it's completely unrealistic. Smoke tricks are more important than the last book you read, and just about every song or Hollywood star has something to say about it.
The reality is that if you're a smoker, you can't piss clean. You can't get a job, you can't get a gym membership to look that hot, so you definitely can't get a hot girl. I know a fuck ton of stoners, and none of them are that stereotype. My boyfriend, my parents, and at least half of my best friends all smoke pot. I don't personally have a taste for it (it makes me "weird") but I'm around it often, and yeah I'll take a hit or two every once in a while.
The difference between me and my friends who smoke, is that I feel bad for not smoking. It's an oddity. Society has made it so that pot is so fucking cool, that I'm strange for being disinterested. To me, the war against pot has about 20 years, tops, left in it. When my generation and the generation after us gets a hold of it, smoking won't even be a question.
But let me make this clear: smoking isn't sexy. Getting baked isn't a turn on, and having the best bud won't get you in my pants. If anything, I hear girls who are annoyed at the amount their boyfriend smokes (myself included). If you're too stoned to drive to the movies at the actual speed limit, if you're spending too much on pot to at least split the bill, then you're just an effect of the stoner nation. Congrats.
