Smoking pot while being in a band

Well, please dont steal my bass. According to state law Im not doing anything illegal. The Feds may not agree, though.
Actually laws are created to specifically differentiate between what is legal and what isn't. At different points in time alcohol was illegal and it was ok for police to barge into your house at anytime for any reason. just because it's a law doesn't mean it's right. We USUALLY get it right, but not always.
But that makes the assumption that you have no moral center. I have enough faith in myself as a good person to know I'm not going to assault and rob people just because I don't follow every single governmentally-mandated law.
You've made a simple statement of truth as if it's the whole truth, which it's not. To say that pot can motivate you is just as true, but again not the whole truth.
Generally people that flatly make either statement are trying to close an argument in an undeniable manner, as if they'd just called checkmate, when in all actuality, moving the king easily negates the call.
+1 I have yet to here a SOLID argument from a non pot smoker on here. All you have to know is why it was made illegal to know that it is a BS law.
in my opinion, the only thing you can do is to try and get him off pot somehow. my cousin said he was worried about the amount his friend drinks, so he invited him to his house to play the playstation because his friend claims hes the best at any game when he is sober. maybe you should try something along those lines?

I already posted my real answer, now I wanna ask you something. You ever drive faster than the speed limit? Connect to someone else's internet connection? Sing happy birthday to somebody in public? These things are all illegal, like it or not. Most people do these and many other illegal activities at least once in their life, even without knowing. Might wanna step down from your pedestal, in case it violates zoning permits
As far as i'm concerned, the OP has been thoroughly answered.
Sure! i can poor a finger or so of scotch and sip it with my pipe and never feel a thing...do it all the time. If i want to feel it i pour up a couple of fingers and keep em coming
My point was this like the other TB rational stoner's don't smoke for taste or to just enjoy the smoke its to get stoned. I have never been with a group who was smoking herb who said "Wow! this weed has great overtones and discuss the room note or how it comes across on the palate...um...earthy, hints of wood,spice. they smoke it to get a buzz. i would trade off an ounce of Dan's blue note for an ounce of herb just to try it in my pipe...
I don't think any weed smoker will take me up on that one although us in the pipe smoker circle trade blends all the time since we smoke...for taste.
The smell of pipe baccy makes me want to take it up! Hash does taste good though, and smells great too. I have had weed that smells and tastes good, but it's rare. I smoke for the buzz, but I do enjoy the taste and smell. I drink to get buzzed sometimes too, but usually I sip a nice whisky, cognac, wine or beer, just for the flavor. Cognac, coffee and a spliff of hash - now that's breakfast!

And those that drink scotch are full of it. who are you kidding it all tastes like gasoline. most people pretend its about the taste but that's a lie they're just conditioned to believe that, alcohol is just another addiction.

Bud isnt all that different. One hit from my pipe isnt going to get me stoned. A bowl to my head might, if the herb is good. I have been with people who smoked and said things such as "this herb has a citrusy taste" but that was never the point in smoking it. I do like the taste, but if i said thats why I smoked Id be lying. Just the same, Ive never drank for the taste either. Though, these days I do make my beer (as well as my herb) selections based on taste.
Actually, a good scotch tastes nothing like gasoline, but rather more like a smoky band aid.
haha, what? A smoky band aid?? Never heard it described that way before. *** does a band aid taste like? Haha, that's great, can't wait to meet a scot and lay that on them.
Im a Scot! Well, technically Im a descendent of Scots. The description actually comes from my wife, who said the 12 year bottle of Buchanans I had tasted like a "smoky band aid". She says the same about smoked porters as well. I dont kow what band aids taste like, but I certainly know how they smell, and smell makes up a large percentage of what we taste.

Well, clearly your own anecdotal evidence is all that matters. Since it hasn't happened around the stoners you know, I guess it never happens eh? I agree though, the main point of smoking pot is to get high, and that's the main point of drinking as well. If you drink for the taste, you are the exception, not the rule.
However, I've on plenty of occasions discussed the flavor and quality of the herb I was smoking with the people around me in the same way that one would discuss wine or pipe tobacco, and I wouldn't say it's that out of the ordinary to do so.
However, NO, I wouldn't trade my OG Kush, Trainwreck, Headband, or Bubblegum for any of your tobacco blends. Tobacco is physically addictive and I don't need to become addicted to that pointless crap again... I'll stick with non physically addictive marijuana thank you very much.
I like any Scotch that's been aged in bourbon casks, like Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or, and after the Whiskyfest I went to in NYC last year I'm a big fan of peats (Peatmonster!). However my #1 is still bourbons and ryes.
