You can't afford anything other than weed grown from dirt. We get it.

Lol! I have a pretty extensive wine cellar as well. We can afford it. We just choose not to drink all of the time. We entertain regularly and I like a nice glass of wine with a good meal and so does DH. The funny thing is that when we do entertain or go to other dinner parties there is always at least one asshole that drinks entirely way too much and there seems to be zero judgment about it. I dont really care. I dont have to go home with the asshole, but to pretend that folks in DC dont drink too much is downright ludicrous. If you live in a city with as many high stress jobs as DC you are going to have alcoholics. It is a fact!

I know just as much about wine as I do weed and yes, its grown in the dirt and organic, unlike booze and pharmaceuticals...all man made. I personally prefer the stuff that is not altered by man. Have a field day with your chemicals on the regular.

Way to attempt to be classist and fail. You really have no idea what you're talking about it regarding pricing and cost - and last I checked wine came from grapes that grow in...the dirt.

And...last I checked people who use marijuana aren't dropping like flies from

Sorry you want to justify your mom wine daily events - you're still not classy and you're still a lush.

OP here...EXACTLY! Thank you!

This is not new, nor special. And sex should be mind blowing without being high.

OP here, my social standing has everything to do with how hard I worked to get to where I am! I came from nothing actually, and so did DH. We were not sitting on our asses getting too high to make it....WOW!

Also, sex with my DH is off the charts amazing regardless of smoking or not, but with everything in this world certain things can enhance certain experiences. People do lots of things to improve or enhance their sex lives...lol...how many threads are on here about that? Also how many jokes do you here husband's make about how much fun sex is with their wives after they have had a couple of drinks? So many comedians even joke about it for a reason! Unclench the Pearl's Nancy!

if things are so great, why wait until the kids go to bed? is there something wrong with what you are doing you don't want your kids to be around?

Er, I also wait for the kids to go to bed before taking my husband to poundtown. nothing wrong with sex but that's the way I roll. Do you disagree with that as well?

My friend truly believes that smoking with her husband has made all the difference in the world in regard to their marriage. The two of them share a bowl or a joint after the kids are in bed and asleep a couple nights a week as a way to wind down and enjoy one another. My friend thinks she might be divorced by now if they did not have this outlet. I tend to agree with her...

Here was our list of benefits:
-Out of this world sex that is fun and feels fantastic! If you have not had sex high, then please add it to your bucket list (not going to lie, this was the number one thing for the both of us)
-Lots of great laughs and deep conversations that really allow you to get to know the other person on a deeper level
-A way to wind down together that does not lead to a terrible hangover, which when you get to your late 30's seems to be what happens when either of us drinks more than 2 glasses of wine
-We both wake up refreshed and ready for work/life/kids, etc without having to nurse a water and take half a bottle of Asprin.
-Exploration of new music together, or bonding over your favorite songs or bands...or even watching a binge-worthy Netflix show that makes you crack up
-It is more affordable than a night out/date night and just as much fun, if not more if you are with the right person

Anyway, we were curious about others in DC, who also see the benefits of smoking weed with a partner and if you have your own list of benefits?

What would you do if your child woke up with a medical emergency?

What would you do if your child woke up with a medical emergency and you and your DH had consumed a glass of wine?

I would have to have two full glasses to feel a a slight warm buzz. And, wine doesn't make you 'see' things or have an out of body experience or make you paranoid or make your personality change.

pot does.
I'm not against pot, but don't fool yourself and treat it like a glass of wine.
For a kid, it's really upsetting to see your parents high -- whether wasted on booze or high on pot.

I'm dying because now pot makes you "see things" and have some type of out of body experiences along with personality disorder changes.

What in the entire...????

This thread has had me giggling *non-high* all day.

Hahahaha I know!!! I am equally amused. It's kind of amazing that there are grown (and presumably semi-intelligent, functioning?) adults who honestly, sincerely believe that weed makes you 'see' things, have out of body experiences, results in personality changes, etc... - and can make these claims earnestly and with a straight face. Toooo funny. I guess D.A.R.E. really did its job with a select few!

Please keep posting, "weedhead" responder. You're cracking me up

I really don't care what other adults do, but I am concerned about the societal acceptance of it as it affects my teenagers. The kids who use pot in my kids' circles today are no different from the "potheads" I knew when I was in college 30 years ago. They're not exactly the overachievers.

You're so right! Overachievers sniff coke.

Naw, they are popping the adderall their pearl clutching moms dispense out each morning before school.

Another person here wondering why people wait to do it until after their kids go to bed. You wouldn't have a beer with dinner in front of them?

It is a gateway drug and will lead you to do devilish things.

It is still illegal. At lest wine / beer is legal and there are social norms in place that make it easy to drink in front of your children.
I try not to get drunk in front of my kids, although I might have one drink in front of them. I don't want them to see me full on drunk (although they have once or twice). But even after a drink or two they'll accuse me of being drunk -- because they have no real context.
I don't partake, but if I did I probably would do it when children were not around. Because, again, it is illegal and they have no sense of what makes it acceptable/not acceptable. They do get drug brainwashed at school.
I also don't smoke (regular tobacco) but I would also not do that when children are around even though that is legal. There is a huge stigma about smoking that alcohol doesn't have, and to smoke in front of your kids will result in them harrassing you.

Uh, you must be pretty old. “see things”? Really? The different strains these days are for a variety of different purposes. Obviously, you don’t know how much this billion dollar industry has grown with legal recreational in several states.

...do you only do things that you would do in front of your kids? That's your cutoff??
