My rant for the day, part two... · 10:24am Apr 25th, 2016
Annoying pot smokers. And when I say that, I'm referring to a very particular type of pot smoker -- the obsessive kind of pot smoker.
At the college I go to, there's a small but (very) vocal weed scene. Now, the way I usually figure it is that your high is none of my business -- whether it be from booze or drugs, I don't care as long as you do it responsibly. But these guys? They make it your business. Do you know why?
THEY. NEVER. SHUT. UP.
Never, outside of a telemarketing call, have I had to put up with people trying so obnoxiously to shove something down my throat. Case in point? A guy who was trying to get me to sign a petition to show my support for legalising weed. I politely told him I wasn't interested, and moved on. He then took it upon himself to try and follow me, babbling the usual shtick about how weed is God's gift to mankind. It took me telling him twice more to leave me alone before he finally pissed off, giving me a glare as he did so. When I next saw him, he was doing the same thing to two girls.
Just to make it clear, I know that not all pot smokers are like this. To the ones who enjoy toking up without trying to convert everyone they see, I have no qualm with you. It's the obsessive Church of Saint Mary-Jane types that I can't stand.
In short, I have nothing against weed -- I've no interest in it, but I'm not against anyone who smokes it, either. But for Christ's sake, stop shoving it down my damn throat.
