In my state, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while speaking on a cell phone unless you are using a hands free device. On any given day, I can see dozens of people blatantly ignoring that law. Now, it really bugs the shit out of me when some asshole in front of me is driving half the speed limit or can't stay in the lane while gabbing on the phone, especially when I need to get to work on time.
However, I have never and would never call the police to report someone who is breaking the law. Even though the person operating a cell phone is driving erratically and risking MY safety, unlike the guy smoking the joint who risked no one else's safety.
Even though I am a libertarian, cell phone drivers are a pet peeve of mine. Isn't that what this is really all about...someone who's just fed up and wanted to do something about it. He probably had a bad experience at some other show and did nothing about it...and wished he had. This guy was probably waiting for the nearest joint to flare so he could get a cop. If it wasnt you he would have done it to someone else.

Yeah like that asshole next to me in Hartford who pissed in a cup and put it on the floor near me rather than go to the bathroom. Fucking stunk worse than any joint I'll tell you that.

Some people are just really turned off by any kind of drug...even herb. The pot smoker doesn't think he is really disturbing anyone...I am cool with it and I assume everyone else is so I light up. Pot is not a big deal to me and although I don't question anyone who decides to go at it sober...If you knew what PJ sounded like live after a few one hitter of some very, very nice herb you wouldn't try and take that away from me. Not only are you trying to take it away but you're being a total jerkoff about it. I've never had an experience where someone ran to go fetch security. I think its really lame. My neighbors have always been pretty cool...well, except for once but that guy deserved it.

and thank you for cutting the very next line, "but i don't lose sleep over it"
you know, when it's cloudy i want the sun to come out. am i psychologically addicted to sunshine?
Come on man this is like little league with you...You're sitting around without any pot thinking about it and you even said it. Whether or not you are losing sleep is irrelevant. That is psychological addiction bro...exactly what I was talking about.

I am a 33 year old female and went to my first Pearl Jam concert on sept 19,2005. I was so excited to be there at the ACC and see my favorite band perform. I didn't bring any weed cuz i was a little paranoid to smoke at the venue. I was surrounded by two young fans Becky and Alicia and a forty
year old i did not know and my honey man.
Becky pulled out a cig and asks if it's cool. I say No Problem!. We had rearview seats 12 rows up directly behind the band. I asked her" hey Becky is that all you have to smoke?" she grins and says No! But iam shit at rollin!
So I come back with " Hey I am a seasoned roller!' She smiles and hands me her tiny Altoids silver box filled with amazing Canadian weed. During Sleater
Keaney I rolled a fattty and didn't care.
The four of us smoked as pearl Jam hit the stage opening with Release.
Priceless! I will always think of Becky that night and her smile. Kinship.
Yo Chief you Rock. Don't let the Ninnies get to ya bro. Rock on!

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.
scott
True dude
thats anotherthing but i can tell you this that in holland, when you ask if you can blowing it another way (almost) everybody will do it
if you are getting sick of the smoke i can only agree with you
i think its better to smoke a joint instead beeing drunk
my experience with people are smoking weed is that they dont botter you (true not everybody is like that)
and people who are beeing fucking drunk are pretty annoying (also true that not everybody is like that)
but the most are like that
i beg to differ! the gate way drug is cigs. anyone who smokes a cig. will drink a beer then smoke some weed and who knows what else. i don't mind people doing what ever they want, i don't smoke drink or anything ( i'm old now), but please ask ANYONE who has done drugs if they first started with a smoke(CIG.) and i am possitive the answer will be yes. people always wish to blame pot as the gateway drug but i feel you've missed a couple of steps first. just my opinion of course.
I've smoked pot. Have never touched a cig.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
I'm talking about the progression of illegal drug use. Alcohol comes with its own set of problems but for all intents and purposes regarding this thread I am not mentioning it because it isn't illegal.
Oh yeah, the 'it isn't illegal' thing. Look, illegal or not, it is a physicaly addictive DRUG. If you drink before you smoke weed, then alcohol is your gateway drug. Not complicated.

I think we were the one's that you are talking about! Were you in the 23rd row Left side during petty?
If that was you, we did feel a little strange about smoking next to a kid, but like you said, it was a rock concert. and i don't think those were your original seats anyway : ) that was our justification...hope we didn't offend too much.
Not us. We were in section 104 row 8. I'm pretty sure they were Petty fans because they weren't going nuts like we were for Pearl Jam and smoked during Petty's first song.
I'm all for people doing what they want, but there was so much weed being blown in my section of night 2, I may as well have smoked w/them. I walked out of there completely high and it didn't help that the person I was with was hitting it as well. haha! Inside venues aren't the best place to smoke weed, imo. Good times just the same though and it's something one must expect at certain types of shows.

I don't know why you're all of a sudden in my shit now but I'll play. I'll break it down real simple so even you can understand it....cigs, caffeine, alcohol are all gateways to pot. Pot is the gateway to the harder stuff. Not too complicated for you I hope.

Yes it turns into something mental...you can't get physically hooked on pot but you can get hooked on it in more of a psychological way. It isn't just my own personal experience its a lot of peoples experience. Pot is a total gateway drug and I stand by that. Just because you haven't tried anything harder sort of makes you an exception to the rule. Ask a hardcore drug addict what he got started on and most likely he is going to say pot.
cigarettes, the real gateway drug! weed can only be linked to harder drugs
due to the fact that its illegal, so the only place to find it is on the black market. There are no proven facts that link it to being a gateway drug

I'm not 'in your shit', I'm just debating, if I seem too agressive then sorry. Anyway, you are still wrong, you have just reinforced my point. What you mean to say is "Pot is the last part of the progression to harder drugs", because what the person starts on is their gateway drug, be that ciggarettes or alcohol or whatever.

some dude in section B14 in a stones shirt walked up to me and told me he was going to get security if we didnt stop smoking and then he actually did. if by small chance your reading this can you tell me why you would ever go so out of your way to try and get me in trouble?
This post is hillarious to me just due to the fact that Denver passed a new smoking ban, and I think the last two nights at least half the place at the Pepsi Center said fuck off to that...hillarious...I dont know about you but when I go to a show I expect a lot of smokin to be going on. My weed smkoing days have passed but I still love to see people rippin and have a good time...You guys smokin in denver had some good shit, I havent had a contact high that good in some years...BRAVO!!!

Not us. We were in section 104 row 8. I'm pretty sure they were Petty fans because they weren't going nuts like we were for Pearl Jam and smoked during Petty's first song.
Its like the time me and a friend were at an Aerosmith concert and the guy behind us asked us to sit down.
