smokin weed

CantKeepmedown

When I'm sitting next to people, and I'm not sure if they will have a problem with me blazing, I usually take 2-3 big power hits, then put it out. One of two things usually happen. They will either give a smile and ask for a puff (which I'm always willing to share, and have done so numerous times) or they just go on with the show. In Boston, the guys next to me didn't ask for a puff, but we jammed out together and had fun, so I don't think it bothered them. I did let a kid smoke with me at Boston3 in 03, and I think it ruined his show. We lit up during GTF, and he sat down the rest of the show. But that's his own fault for not knowing what he can handle.

As long as you're not blatantly ruining someone's good time, like by blowing smoke in their face, or lighting up 10-12 joints, everyone should be fine.

Man I was so into the DC show I didn't notice OR smell the fatty some dudes were smoking right next to my friend. He swears they did but I was completely unaware of it, and I know the smell (and like it). I guess PJ is a better drug that I thought

I need to get more of this, Pearl Jam... Best drug I've ever been on

Let me put the reverse spin on this. If you can't enjoy a show, especially a fucking Pearl Jam show, without weed, you are pitiful. Very few things make me more sick than people who go to shows and get trashed and blazed. If you can't get into the music without that, wow, time to look in the mirror. Have you ever thought about how the smoke might affect other people? It makes me sick. Seriously. I feel like I have to yack. My girlfriend is so allergic to the smoke that it interferes with her ability to breath. Marijuana is a narcotic, and it is bad for you. If you want to smoke it in the comfort of your own home, feel free. Just don't smoke the shit around me.

Sounds like you are the guy in the Stones shirt. Don't be a puss!!!!

At least you had some weed....I was looking all night for some green herb but couldn't find a dime in Pittsburgh...damn

Why don't you just deal with it and realize where you are?[/quote]

Ha Ha. good lord.

It's amazing how people on here are so selfish, yet claim not to be - on both sides. but it's absolutely ridiculous, how selfish people can be when it comes to doing something they want to do, even if it harms other people.

BTW, this thread is exactly why I don't post here much - some people sound like immature middle schoolers with their responses.

i dont enjoy the smell of it one bit...it is actually an illegal substance and if someone wants someone else to put a joint out they should put it out...why should someone have to put up with an illegal substance when they dont want to.

How about this?
Try not getting stoned at a concert instead and enjoy the music without being blazed

Blockhead

wasn't US Bank a non smoking facility???... plus alot of people who smoke weed at the concerts light up a cig right after they smoke... my 8 moth pregnant wife dosent need that... if i ask you to stop doing something illegal and you can't then you should be man enough to deal with the consequences...

well heres a reply from the country were you can smoke al the weed you want.
When pj comes to rock our little country i guess there a lots op people maybe al of them smoking the little green bags
in fact when you see a cop you can ask them if they would fire up your magical bean
no joke its normal here there are lots of chops were you can buy and smoke the stuff
so i really dont understand what the problem is with you guys who called security, let the people enjoy there concert!!!!!!!
i think beeing drunk is very disturbing, but do i call security NO!
I shake your hand and smoke a joint and you drink your beer and were al a happy family

I don't smoke and i could care-less for the people who do.........but as some guy posted earlier..........my fiance is very alergic to the stuff. Her eyes swell up, can't breathe, sneezing like a freak. She is very healthy but smoke and heavy dust does that to her........why should he suffer? She does expect that from concerts and there was a few times when she wanted to get security. She never did. Smoking it is one thing standing behind her a blowing it in her direction is another.

Yeah, tell Eddie he doesn't have to get drunk or blazed at a show, he talks about it all the time

With the trends lately being no smoking at concerts, it's been pretty difficult to smoke at arenas. As far as an outside show, it's kind of a free for all. But I still try to be careful not to ruin someone else's time. It doesn't matter whether I smoke or not it does not make or break the show. Usually I bring 3. 1 for the ride there. 1 for the show. And 1 for the ride home. Sometimes depending on the show the 1 for the ride home becomes the roach for the ride home :-) Or better yet, roll up the roachs for the ride home!

It's all good. I had some guy at Paul McCartney do that for us. He was a cop, and did not want to see us smoking near him. Whatever. We put it out. It's his show too. I try to fair and give people the benefit of a doubt. I would not had gone right to security but I would had asked them to put it out I guess and if they blew it right in my face then I guess I would had gotten security but it did seem to be a little over the top.

marijuana is NOT a narcotic, Just so you know life is bad for you . Eddie burns and I suspect others in the band do too. If you dont like it dont go to concerts. Are you gonna call 911 and spoil all of my fun, you crazy foooool

If you read the last few lines of my post, you'd see that I am worrying about myself and those that I care about. And I do think it's sad that he needs that buzz. But as long as it does not affect me, I do not care. His buzz has never affected me. Other people's buzzes have.

You are going against the pearl jam grain .

People smoke weed at concerts thats shocking.

If the scent of weed can stop someone from enjoying a show, they are just pitiful. They should be appreciative of it masking the scent of the other 10,000 or so in the arena. People should mind their own business. IF a security guard caught him, ok, that's one thing (albeit not cool, either), but the Stones t guy is just a fucking narc. plain and simple. what a puss.

How about a little respect? Some people cannot stand the smell, my wife being one of them. If someone asks you to stop, I think a fellow Jamily member should oblige. Peace, J

Drunk, yes...but, if you read the article in RS, he says he hasn't smoked weed since his daughter was born.

I, for one, do not smoke, but I fully expect it at a concert. As long as it isn't being blown in my face, I don't care...

surfanddestroy

I don't mind it myself but I have to be carefull if I am stood next to someone who is smoking as I get random piss tests at work and would get sacked straight away if there was any in my system, kinda sucks really.

the guy, i mean. you know, just a lot of peeps that are brought up thinking it is really not kosher to smoke weed. i am the oldest of six kids, the good son, was all ways told how bad it was, and it really made me think it was. i all ways got uncomfortable around peeps that did it, was very judgemental about them, and was very conservative in my views about it. recently, i have smoked from time to time to see what i really thought about it. and, you know, i've changed my mind about it completely. i don't mind being around it, i don't think it is evil or you are bad b/c you smoke. there are plenty of smokers who are good peeps, responsible peeps who don't harm anyone, and all the smokers i've met in life were all so chilled out and welcoming and just overall really cool. so, i guess, don't stress over it too much, b/c there is all ways gonna be people that are high and mighty in their approach to smokers.

if it was me, i'd have partied and enjoyed a bad ass show with ya.

peace.

Just out of curiosity, did you use the word "peeps" before you turned to the dark side? I kid, I kid....

Here's the real question.

If you were smoking weed/cigs and blowing smoke around, getting drunk and spilling beer, pumping your fist/waving your hands into someone's face, bumping into someone else, holding up a jersey, person, sign, or flag that obstructs one's view, {insert any behavior that might not be courtious here} and someone politely/legitimately asked you to stop or be aware of others around . . . would you stop? If not, you are an asshole . . . no questions.

In the end, you have the right to do whatever you like to your body, but you also have the responsibility to be aware of others.

Personally, I do not like most of the things I have mentioned above, weed included. Am I judgemental of these people? No. Several people I love or admire engage in behaviors that at times are not respectful of others, but when made aware, they make an effort to coexist and respect those around. That's the difference.

I don't like weed, even though several of my peers did and I grew up around it. As a honest health educator, I even see some hypocrisy that Marijuana is illegal, while other more dangerous drugs are not. Also, I do expect it at a concert and usually I deal with it, but if someone is blowing it into my face, etc. . . I will kindly ask them to be aware of others, etc. In my experience, this has worked quite well most of the time.
