[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People drink openly at parties, restaurants, bars, back yard bbqs.  They typically do not sit outside bistros toking joints.  Pot smoking is usually done in a back room (in private) and that is where other harder drugs are done.  This is not to say that the typical pot smoker turns into an out of control coke or meth addict.  But some do acquire a taste for the stuff that will not go away. I wasn't keeping score and I wasn't keeping track of who all was doing what - just that folks who smoked pot also tended to be more likely to try the harder stuff too.  [/quote]

Of course, people who smoke pot are more likely to use harder drugs too.  Just like people who drink are more likely to smoke pot than those who completely abstain.  But again- smoking pot doesn't mean that someone is going to turn into a meth head.  You're looking at this as a black-and-white issue when in reality, it is a wide spectrum.

As for parties, it all depends on the type of party and crowd.  In college, I went to plenty of parties where pot was smoked openly and joints passed around.  People could take a hit or pass it on.  But since you (apparently) weren't openly okay with it- you probably never were invited to those kinds of parties.  As a non-pot smoker, you're not going to walk into a backyard BBQ with a gravity bong next to the grill.  But you'd probably be surprised at the number of people who DO smoke and attend social events.  [/quote]

Usually there was a finite stash, so the crowd was not invited to participate - just other friends who were known to reciprocate the favor.   I did not smoke pot but I was around folks that did.  It wasn't a matter of me approving or not approving. I chose not to partake because I had tried it once, that was enough and it didn't do too much for me.

I never went to a crowded party (especially in college) where "everyone" was smoking pot.  That's pretty bold. But whatever.

Suffice it to say, I'm middle aged now and it has been a very long time since I was anywhere near a party like that, lol.
