The question was NOT "what do you think people in recovery should do...."

BTW: What do you think of people who openly smoke pot at concerts? Are they being considerate to others?


Yeah if they pass the joint on down the line I think that's being considerate


laugh laugh laugh

and openly smoking where they SHOULD be...in a place where children and the recovering should not be

not wetlipping is also very considerate

laugh too funny MBD
"Openly smoking where they should be is a good answer", but where's that? (Please explain why people who mind that smoke should not be allowed to go)

Do you think concert venues should be...rated?

I do think the ;wetlipping" is a funny comment,thoughlaugh



Explain why people who smoke shouldnt be allowed to go..Im serious not being a smartass

Have your freinds saw the roof off your car and paint it paisley and make a body billboard that says "recovering from weed" and go to burning man concert. They will respect your choice. Way fun!
I'll be at Burning Man in a van, not convertible.... hope to see you there!smokin

A good friend of mine in recovery says out of all the people who do any type of intoxicants, potheads will minimize, deny or blame... and will try to justify everything...

A crackhead'll steal from you, a drunk'll run you over, a methhead'll kill you.... i realize that..... but they wont trivialize it and laugh about it...

BTW: My friend and I are former HD potheads, as well.... we're just looking back at the way we used to be...

a reformist will righteously judge and call reasons why "excuses and justifications"

A reformist tries to convert others... i dont.... Live and let live....

As a matter of fact, pot should probably be legalized, if for only the fact that it'll save the taxpayers millions....

My son (a pot smoker) said something that made sense.... he, as well as his friends, go to the edge of a venue to smoke during a concert... that way everyone's happy and having a good time...and there's no friction....

I used to look foward to geting high at concerts, but i didnt realize how it affected others til i matured.....

Is there any reason one cant get high just before a concert and abstain til the concert's over?

I dont mean to sound like a do-good or reformist, but people are being evasive answering a direct question......

If you say "Yes, and i dont give a s**t about anyone else", that would be an answer at least..laugh

What do you think of people who openly smoke pot at concerts, amphitheaters, etc.... without regard to recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, in attendance, who should not be inhaling that smoke?
Maybe I should repeat the question.... maybe rephrase it to say "Do you think people who openly smoke pot at concerts are being considerate of others....?" (How's that?)frustrated


okay...then no, it is not considerate, to anyone, really. i think it was throwing in the recovering addict that threw this off. but, the guy puking all over himself next to ya at the concert is pretty inconsiderate as well...it's life, i've learned to deal. flowerforyou

Foul! : Can't complain about people bringing up caveats to a slanted question & call it evasive because it doesn't adhere to a pre-disposed opinion.

indifferent yeess theeey aare bbeeeeing iinconsiddderrate...is the only non-evasive answer

...also a question of majority & propriety....if a person with allergies goes into a cigar bar and complains about smoke ,who is being inconsiderate?

a slanted example for a slanted question

So if a non-pot smoker went to a Phish concert, NO
I don't think the "majority" of concert goers are being inconsiderate. Specific? Evasive? Sorry.

The clean living guy would be inconsiderate for thinking different



...and sometimes you just gotta "deal"
I like to go to a pub every once in a while and have a few beers, but CAN'T STAND inconsiderate sloppy drunks.....it's a risk I run

I agree i should have phrased it differently... more generally (I did so later on... page 3?)

Thanks... I appreciate that... perhaps i'm not being politically-correct...

.... and that sloppy drunk would REALLY be inconsiderate if he puked on anyone or if he poured some rancid beer in someone's yawning mouth as a joke...laugh (don't laugh...thats happened!)

God, grant me the power to accept the things I cannot change like a bunch of guys burning through a sack at a 3 doors down concert, the power to accept there aint sh!t I can do about it, and the wisdom to know the difference between their being inconsiderate of others and simple 8th grade physics like for every action there's a reaction and the knowledge that I really need to check my expectations. Amen.
