In a few of my previous posts I mentioned getting high, usually out in the parking lot, before going into the theater to watch a film.

I admit, I used to be a major pothead but have since found myself drawing away from it.
I don't have the desire to smoke that I once had.

Are any of you weed smokers?
It's ok to admit it if you are.
Millions of people do it.
I've found that most who do love to toke up before heading into the theater regardless of age.  
Marijuana can enhance your movie going experience like you never imagined.


The only thing I didn't like about it was that when I was standing in line waiting to get my ticket, I would always think that EVERYONE there was looking at me and knew I was high!
I would see someone looking at me and think, "He knows I'm stoned!"

Do you now or have you ever smoked up before watching a movie in the cinema?

How about at home with the Mrs. or girlfriend before you pop that recently released DVD in?

Be honest!

Thats the only reason i ever get high. Because they make movies a lot more fun to watch. The best is sitting around high with a group of buddies mocking a bad b-movie MST3K style.

All I'm going to say is that "Reefer Madness" is HILARIOUS when you're blazed.

Everything's funnier with monkeys.

Waking life was an experience that shall not be forgotten easily.  Nothing much else to say on that though!

Weed + Plan 9 from outer space = A lot of fun
Acid + natural born killers = A very bad idea...

Most of the movies churned out by Hollywood these days just make me want to drink. A lot.

38 and never smoked pot.

I did, however, down a quart of beer in the parking lot right before seeing Robocop ... I chuckled through all the really gory parts.  I am sure I was irritating to those around me....

Back in college I did (1980s).  Lots of fun, but after a few years I wanted my brain back.  It's probably why I really go hooked on b-movies;  Plan 9 was just hilarious high.

 I smoked a little bit back when I was in my early 20s.  About the only movie experience I ever had while high involved SANTA SANGRE, which pretty much made me swear off the stuff!

I remember getting high and watching TV and all of the programs seemed to last longer--sitcoms seemed like they were two hours long.  I wonder what it would be like to get high and watch a really long movie--but I guess it might wear off before the movie was over.  Someone I knew once claimed PINK FLOYD THE WALL was three hours long, but they'd only watched it when they were high.

Yay I smoke it on occasion, never had a problem with it and find the effects much more plessurable than being drunk.Also it does make movies alot better.For one you can laugh at pretty much anything, and two you can pick up on things in movies that you hadn't noticed before.Example is when I was watching the Matrix. Now I knew already that there were alot of parallels to the bible, but after smoking a couple bowls and watching the movie I was really able to pick up on all the hidden stuff in the movie.

Back in his younger days, the Noodle used to get baked like a potato...

...But not any more. I definitely wanted my brain back and I'm happy to have what's left of it.

I will admit, however, that I was one of those college kids who rented anime films and got nice and toasty before watching. One of my faves was "The Mind's Eye". I also used to play video games under the influence - mental note, R-Type is no easier in this state.

There was one movie that I laughed my cajones off at every time I got toasted, and that was Demolition Man. I was convinced that the future would be ruled by people that dressed up as androgenous hot-dog vendors.


On the whole, I don't miss it. My wife and family is too important to me now - I don't want to ever escape that reality. But I don't make decisions for other people; that's a journey we each have to walk alone.

Back in the day, many moons ago. Anyone remember when robert tilton used to have his own televangelist show and go on those 'satan' rants? Um..not recommended.

Films I remember as fun were stuff like "Bedknobs and broomsticks" and alot of straight-laced films. For some reason comedies were never AS funny as the serious drama's when smokin the fatty. Although watching foriegn movies with bad dubbing or subtitles was highly enjoyable.

Holy crow - forgot about this factor - whenever I watched anime that wasn't dubbed but had subtitles, I was able to convince myself that I was comprehending Japanese. God, what silly times....

Toking was also the only way I was able to sit through "Lord of Illusions".

I don't need to get high, the movies and music I listen to are enough of a trip usually.

You may find this hard to believe, but I have never tasted alchohol, never did drugs, and in fact never even tasted coffee. It was just never in our home when I was young and I never found it necessary to try. Now I don't think that makes me a better person. Just that I was never influenced by it or those who did it.

I've always viewed it as something that impairs the person doing it and puts to risk those around them. Life is difficult enough without having drugs or alchohol in your life.

I don't think there's anything wrong with alcohol in moderation, so long as no driving is involved.  

I don't really believe that pot is any worse than alcohol, but it's illegal and at this point in my life it's not worth the risk, no matter how small.
