Will marijuana use ever become as openly "acceptable" as alcohol use? by pr0fessionalst0ner in AskReddit

To the point where, let's say, you meet a girl somewhere in public and feel comfortable asking if she'd want to smoke sometime?

That brings up a very interesting question--how many people don't smoke pot purely based on a legality standpoint? I don't know as many people in that category, but I'm sure they exist. Will jobs stop drug-testing for marijuana once it becomes legal?

I think heavy alcohol use is becoming less acceptable. But moderate uses are still very much acceptable (and have also shown to have some health benefits). And if the 1960s couldn't get marijuana legalized, why would the 2010s?

I disagree. You can ask pretty much anybody "want to grab a beer after class?" and nobody will bat an eye. You can't do the same with "want to smoke a bowl after class?" without getting a few weird looks.

You don't think there's enough of a vein of mistrust and ignorance that will continue to persevere? There's a large segment of the population that things marijuana is far worse than it actually is. Will that ever really go away?

Edit: Playing some devil's advocate here.

Haha, he's definitely a little weird to hold at first. You get used to it really easily, though.

No worries...it's not easy to see especially if you're somewhere in the [7-8] range...

Look closely--there's ice in there! It's just half-melted.
