I actually thought of this post last week, and in light of Kenny's recent poll, I decided to post it....
Maybe I have been living in a bubble, and have been blissfully unaware this whole time, but I had no idea how many adults smoke pot on a regular basis.
Like many teenagers, I tried it just to try it. Wasn't all that impressed, and have maybe done it a handful of times in my life, but all before the age of like 19. I assumed most people dabbled when they were younger, and maybe on occasion did it later in life.
I recently discovered in conversation that one of my colleague's husband smokes every night when he comes home from work. My other friends husband does at least once a month, my friends sister does it every day, my other colleague's husband does it at least once a week, and other colleague said any time there is a party or get together, they smoke.
These people aren't kids. They are 30-35 year olds, with homes, full time jobs, and many with kids or their own or are trying to have kids currently. I would never have suspected they smoked if they didnt tell me.
I was so surprised by this, as it always seemed so dumb and not worth the risk to my career should I ever be drug tested. It always seemed like something kids did, and I had no idea how common it was for functioning, intelligent adults with families. Does this just happen to be a coincidence with my colleague's husbands? LOL. Or is it really that common? Curious to see everyone's responses!
