As stated above. I moved from THE Marijuana capital to a place much less cannabis friendly (still legal). Prior to moving I had been 5+ years of no alcohol; I didn’t have a problem with it, just didn’t feel it. Once I moved to where I currently am I realized that cannabis users were looked at similarly to Crack users. I have routinely felt judged for having half a joint only, by individuals 5+ drinks deep.
So I decided to ‘drink’. I’ll have a drink, usually sipping on the same one continuously for hours, all to hide that I might be slightly stoned. When I mix myself a drink, I add less than a 1/4 shot, and I will routinely fill my can with water just to keep sipping from the same one.
Everyone knows I smoke, I’m the only one in the ‘friend group ‘ that does, they just are never comfortable with it.
I can pretend to be 4 drinks deep and they just continue to have a blast completely comfortable with ‘inebriated’ me, believing that I’m drinking a fk ton of alcohol, except that it’s just a joint or two.

Wow.. where do you live? This is wild. Sorry you have to fake being drunk just to smoke weed lol. Why don’t you just hang out with whoever you buy weed from?
So.. you went from weed to alcohol??
Stop worrying about what others think of you. Just do your thing.
I quit drinking because of marijuana and I feel a hell of a lot better.
I suggest finding new friends. Firstly, you shouldn’t need to hide anything from friends. If they look down at you for who you really are, then I suppose it’s really up to you if it’s worth your time with them. 2nd, as a recovering alcoholic, this is a slippery fucking slope.
Dude Marijuana is a hundred times better for you then alcohol lol.
Your friends are hypocrites. Alcohol isn’t safer than weed. Far from it
If it’s legal then screw them. You’re all adults and if they don’t like it then just don’t smoke next to them. It’s really not that different from smokers vs nonsmokers. When I smoked cigarettes I tried to never smoke near someone who would not like smelling it/like it and as long as you aren’t blowing it at anyone I really don’t see a problem. It’s
those ppl sound lame but sometimes you gotta socialize and be a person. weed 4 ever <3
Well, that’s just silly.
Some of my best Nights were spent in clubs in the Eighties Drinking Water with lime juice with 100 Shit faced People
What is the question?
i don’t smoke but literally fuck your friends that’s weird
What
Pussy
Where do you live where weed is legal AND super looked down on? I think you might just have strange friends.
Your friends seem lame af. Bunch of losers. Find cool ppl to chill with.
Get new friends
Find better friends or smoke before they come over. No need to fake interest in drinking for anyone’s approval.
Where the fuck did you find these people.
It doesn’t matter how casual you feel about alcohol, that thing will sneak up on you if you use it as a social crutch. Probably the #1 way people get lost in the sauce
The entanglement of substances, socializing, and drama is an issue here. Regardless of which substance is being used by whom. Maybe establish friendships based on common interest, detached from using.
Gayyy
Yeah those people aren’t your friends.
Weed is illegal in my state, and I smell it everywhere lol
Hiding your weed with alcohol is just plain madness… reefer madness
Dude who cares, get new friends, be yourself, etc.
Get new friends no one wants to hang with Nancy Reagan
I have a friend group like this. I smoke by myself while they get wasted. I love my no hangover though
I feel you, I’m from Santa Cruz and currently live in Boulder, Co and I refuse to ever move anywhere where I can’t just walk down the street with a joint. But I would suggest trying to find ppl who won’t pressure you into drinking or just being fully open that that’s what you prefer. I couldn’t fathom drinking again. I have legit like a beer once per year nowadays and that’s about it.
I’m just imagining you did something similar but moved to like bend or Colorado springs where it’s not as culturally accepted as like coastal California
Nobody is convinced
Life is too short not to be able to smoke a joint with your friends. Jfc, they sound exhausting. Is this really the life you want?
Stay away from booze, it’s bad for your health
Enjoy the good herb
They dont care, you just want to be center of attention. Tell them , again they wont care if they are actually your friends
Your friends are cunts.
If you can’t comfortably be yourself and your ‘friends’ don’t appreciate the real you, then these are not your friends, and that is not a place for you to be.
You could try a 510 cart or disposable less of a smell and much more discreet but I wouldnt even put up with this unless I was benefiting from these friends. Peope always come and go
That’s pretty fucked dude but also I smoke weed all the time but also I’m from Canada but also I’m super drunk right now so like I don’t even know what to say.
Smoke flower by yourself, use a vape pen around your friends to hide smell. never tell them you smoke, continue fake drinking sounds like the Midwest it’s shit
I couldn’t handle the pressure of not being true to myself …….. in a social setting.
But drinking alcohol is way more dangerous and unhealthy than smoking weed.
I don’t understand
Try dabs man. Less paranoia and less smell if any. Dont mask something with another thing. I did so with cigarettes and pot messed my lungs up. Buy a lookah and buy randys brand dual quartz tips if you want a good rip.
