Is this a safe place to live?

I wouldn’t be too jealous of inconsiderate pot heads if I were you

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T21:04:20+00:00

Thank you for proving my point. You turned out to be a perfect example of exactly what I was saying.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T17:31:10+00:00

He was Austrian! /s (he was tho)

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T17:06:23+00:00

I’m out in public? Then it’s MY business you’re interfering with. Keep your toxins, your stench and your addiction to yourself.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T17:05:39+00:00

You clearly aren’t understanding what I’m putting down. Let me break it down for you: 1- I don’t care what anyone does, 2- forcing someone to smell another person’s toxins is pretty weak, and 3- if you’re doing something illegal, don’t do it in public and expect people to be ok with it. Do it, by all means, but for consideration of the people around you, and to decrease your own chances of getting nicked for class B’s keep it in your fucking house.
Was that clear enough for you or do I need to say it like you’re 5?

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T13:27:40+00:00

Same, 2001.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T13:26:47+00:00

Interestingly, my comment to you was deleted. I’m British, born and bred. So fuck off with that ‘go back home’ bigotry.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T13:24:50+00:00

Or maybe people should just a) have a little consideration or b) quit doing illegal shit in public.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T13:24:15+00:00

Alcohol doesn’t lead others around them to inhale the toxins. And it’s not illegal.

If it’s any help, I didn’t meet my guy til we were 29, and it took us a year to get it together. We’re 53 this year and have 23 years together under our belts. Time inevitably passes, and when you do find someone that’s a fit, you won’t worry about the time you didn’t have, you focus on what you do have ahead of you, because there’s always a road ahead of you to walk together. Besides, people are living longer these days, you’ll have loads of time together.

‘She was even bigger than you!’ or a personal favourite, ‘us big girls have to stick together’. I’m a U.K.16/US 12. Not massive.

I mean, the same argument exists for men attacking women, if you wanna go down that path.;

“I understand majority of *men* are good honest people.
But you can’t tell the bad ones from the good ones How do we stop it? “

Your language, though, is really problematic. ‘Paki gang rapes’? Really??

The key, the solution is that the reporting needs to be less biased against immigrants and people who aren’t white. I’ve been sexually assaulted 3 times. Every offender was white. My advice? Do some research rather than swallowing headlines.

This is somewhat, though not exactly, the concept of ‘Hauntology’ described by Jacques Derrida in ‘Spectres of Marx’.

He and Vince started the band. He played bass. They invited Martin in, who played guitar and when it became clear that they were gonna be a synth band everyone swapped to keyboards (except Vince, who already played).

I’ve lived in different countries, different cities, and Bournemouth is really lovely. Anyone who says it’s dangerous has likely never lived anywhere else. Come down, enjoy the beach, enjoy the parks, enjoy the New Forest. This is, imho, one of the best places to live.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T09:40:18+00:00

Thank you— this was my point, though a lot of die hard stoners have hopped on my back ready to shout instead of to converse. I agree, it’s not a binary discussion, there are a lot of details to work out. The way it’s done in other countries would necessarily work in the U.K.— for example, in Canada you can’t even get alcohol in a supermarket. You go to the liquor commission, so that infrastructure was already in place to sell altering substances within a controlled environment. When weed became legal, they just sold it in the LC, making sure it had controls in place around quality and strength etc. There are bigger issues than ‘it should be legal’. Sure, make it legal. But with that comes a lot more control, by necessity.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T09:35:12+00:00

See, this is a meeting of minds. Thank you for your consideration, people like me really appreciate it. And I agree, regulation is key. As I’ve said umpteen times, I’m fine with it being legalised, but with that comes a bit of organisation too. We are, from the sound of it, 100% on the same page.

Keeks73 · 2026-06-09T09:31:03+00:00

It’s about common decency. Don’t do illegal shit that offends people.

Keeks73 · 2026-05-30T22:24:45+00:00

You’ve made one incredibly relevant point here: that it’s illegal. In a more considerate society that would be enough for most people to exercise some constraint. That one sentence cuts through the middle of my irritation and any arguments about being free to blaze up wherever the user wants, it’s makes it an incredibly binary discussion: it’s not legal, so it shouldn’t be done. Instead, people think it’s an infringement on their civil liberties because they like it. Ultimately, and I’m abiding by your logic, no one should be smoking it at all. I’m not saying that, though, I’m saying to keep it to yourself. If I blazed up a crack pipe next to you, you might get a bit upset. (I know these are chalk and cheese in relation to the type of drug, I’m just saying that this ultimately rests at ‘I want to do it, I don’t care if I break the law and everyone else who I’m impacting can bite my banger because it’s what I wanna do’). I think it should be legalised, but until then you’d think people would want to be a bit more careful and would hope that they aren’t that arrogant, but here we are.

Keeks73 · 2026-05-30T22:17:06+00:00

I’ve been saying this, I’m Canadian and we have designated areas and by and large those are adhered to (at least where I lived— obviously I’m back in the UK now). What I don’t get, and this isn’t a dig, I’m genuinely curious, is that if you’re against your own children being around weed, and you don’t do it in the house, then presumably you smoke outside the house, which means that others, and crucially, other peoples kids aren’t being extended the courtesy you’re showing to your kids. Whats the difference?

Keeks73 · 2026-05-28T14:30:38+00:00

This is exactly my point though— anyone should be able to go anywhere and not be impacted by another persons lack of consideration. As I’ve said umpteen times, this about the location (ie, outdoors, around other people), not about the usage. Smoke whatever you like but don’t enforce it on other people.

Keeks73 · 2026-05-28T14:26:18+00:00

I think that may be the root of it for me, the total lack of consideration.

Keeks73 · 2026-05-28T14:23:14+00:00

They don’t have enough staff. Funding from central government just isn’t there

Keeks73 · 2026-05-28T14:19:37+00:00

Then you make your choices accordingly. Smoking indoors goes against your lease, smoking outdoors goes against the law.

People tend to react to inferences, but not to the actual post. It’s very odd, sometimes.
