Do what you want, but when it infringes on the enjoyment of others try stopping. They have just as much a right not to smell that shit as you do to illegally smoke it.

Get stoked in the lot, and let people who choose to stay clean be that way and not have to be exposed to your second hand stench. Some people don't think it is cool when Ed refers to Pot either. So get off your victim podium, and don't get upset when people don't like you breaking the law by them, and interefering with their enjoyment. If you can't enojoy PJ wihtout it you got issues bigger than this board can solve.

*standing ovation*

please rinse the sand out of your vaginas.

If someone asks you to stop, just stop. The person didn't narc on you. And if you're gonna narc, try to be cool and ask. PJ fans are cool people.

Yeah, some people just get a pissy attitude because it's illegal, O the smell, O isn't it horrible, O I think so, are you getting sick, I am............

When there are actually people that get sick from it, very very sick. My friend is sensitive to smoke and other fragrances and gets ill for days if exposed. He had to actually wear a mask to his work because they didn't follow the fragrance-free laws that we have here......in Wa.

It's tough because a single concert can very well be the highlight of someones year. We don't want someone to get sick and have their show ruined, we also don't want to insult people by telling them they should be able to enjoy the show with out it, because there is a good chance a smoker will find that ignorant and not even hear the important things you are trying to convey to them.

I think if U's that don't want to smell pot smoke at shows should start a little movement to encourage potsmokers to just eat it. Start a thread about it. "They" will jump in and help with it in no time. This is a great compromise that even the band could endorse!!!

State your case in it in a respectful manner. Tell them to post recipes. Brownies, Muffins. Tell people to get used to making them so they can get the dosage right, cause they can get quite strong.

Maybe someday Pearl Jam fans will be renouned for their pot food skills. Remembered for their treatment of each other, smokeless concerts, the first musical fanbase to take this problem seriously! And solve it.

or we can just not mention the word pot, because it's bad, and the problem will continue on.


Just Eat It!

Just Eat It!

You have a wonderful idea. I don't smoke, but did when I was a little younger. I, personally, would totally eat some brownies...actually did at a Neil Young show once and his fucking set ripped...unfortunately, alot of people are just going to attack the idea and pull their "we have the right to smoke, blah, blah, blah bullshit"...don't get me wrong, I have my stances in this life and one of them if for the legalization of marijuana, but another is for the protection of non-smokers. I don't mind having a cigarette outside and going an entire PJ, or any others, set without a smoke...I mean, fuck, it's really not that important...especially the green....that's why there is a lot. The plus for using the lot is...no sneaking it into the show. Now, most get away with it, but what a fucking downer if you get caught....such a downer...whatever...fuck all ya'lls, I'm out.

This thread was running through my mind last night when I had my 11 year old at the show and the people next to us and behind us started smoking pot.
My son asked "What is that?"
"Marijuana" I said.
"Dad! Call it 'pot' it sounds cooler", he said.

He asked me if we should tell security. I told him it is a rock concert and people do crazy things at rock concerts. I told him we could move if it started to bother him but the people around us were as respectful as can be expected and blew the smoke up and only lit up once during the show so he was ok.

The vast majority of people smoking pot at concerts are very respectful of people around them and I have no problem with that...but wow--some of the pot smokers that have posted in this thread sound like the whiney 14 year olds that I teach. Yes, I know it's a rock concert and and there's gonna be pot yaddayaddayadda.. but keep in mind that your smoking does affect others--sometimes in negative ways to the point where they can't enjoy the concert. I know last night at St. Paul II, once Petty came on stage it was like sitting inside of a bong(at least in my section). I started feeling the effects and actually, my friend and I both started feeling like shit because we're not exposed to the stuff much after graduating college. We decided to leave early instead of staying and continuing to feel like shit.

So basically..I don't have a problem with pot at concerts as it's expected and usually doesn't bother me, but some of you need to quit sounding so fucking selfish and realize there are others that don't react well to your extra curricular activity. I'm sort of new to pearl jam fandom, but from what I get the band is about a whole mutual respect thing..right?

I do have to say, there wasn't much pot in the air during the Pearl Jam set in my section...it was the Petty fans who were really smokin it up.

lol a minor change to my above commet........

most WEED users respect others.....not drug users....fuckin addicts stole my car lol
