Hello IC community :)

Well I'm in a bit of a predicament at the moment with a relationship, not a Yummybud relationship (Aw!) but still a problem and something some of you have most likely experienced at some point.

Well anyway I'll update you on the stats. I've been with this girl for 11 months so nothing too major. Anyway we had known each other for years through work and a few months after finally 'hooking up' she found out I was a toker after a boozed-up night on the town. She reacted much worse than predicted.

I did stop smoking for a few months but there's always a moment where you wonder why your punishing yourself for a reason in which you have nothing to contribute so I only ever smoke anymore with close friends and whenever I'm not with her.

Anyway to the point. We're going to Amsterdam shortly and I did make it pretty clear before it was booked I wanted to smoke over there. Somehow it got brought up again in conversation, probably from one of the many coffee shop oriented maps I have with certain ones highlighted.

When asked says "I don't like smoking", "It's drugs" or "I don't want to talk about it".

Right, well I definitely am smoking in Amsterdam nevertheless. But what I'm asking is can you think of a nice way to break it to somebody who has never had any experience with it?

Sounds like a pretty shitty trip to me! Seriously why do you want to subject yourself to taking a trip of a lie time with someone that is not into "drugs"! My wife didn't really toke when we met but I changed all that, if she hadn't been down with it probably wouldn't of lasted 29 years so far! What if you want to bring seeds back for "drugs" & you pissed her off real bad but she keeps how mad she is pretty much to her self & narcs on you to customs! Glad it's you not me!:laughing:

No hope in dope !

Na but really that's a tricky one, some people are just set in their ways. A bro had the same problem with his long time GF, but you just gotta be a man and tell her to deal with it or hit the road. It's just a plant, tell her the bible says its ok.

"I gave you every seed bearing plant..."

Gotta be a man though, another bro won't smoke just cuz his girl doesn't like it. Wha chaa, can you say pu$$y whipped ?

lol good luck, have fun in amsterdam, dont forget to tell us about all the awesome tree you get to smoke !


smuggle back some genetics...:joint:

and finally.....


:smoweed:

To be honest if she has had little to no experience with it she shouldn't be condemning it.... what I meen is good luck trying to explain it to someone like that, they are thinking illogically, the only outcome I see is a negative one if you try to explain it to her.

Just do your thing and wait a while, eventually I think she might get curious and want to try, if not then just leave it be, if she wants to keep trying to control your smoking I would jump ship, 11 months and shes already going for control haha, RUN :tiphat:

You think the girl not liking weed is bad, just wait till she finds the whore house orientated maps with certain ones highlighted :)

She will change her mind maybe after being in dam and seeing it so openly, and seeing "normal" people smoke too. Dont take her to the little shops in the red light district for example. But take her to the bulldog on the leidseplein (no, i am not saying he must buy ganja there), pretty fancy place and upstairs you can smoke your joint and she can sip some wine or w/e.
 
alright, so i think i may have come off a little douchey before, so lets try this again.

i would NEVER book a trip to the Dam with someone that wasnt canna friendly. if you're gonna do it anyway, theres some bases that need to be covered. first, when she says that she "doesnt want to talk about it" you have to let her know that saying that isnt good enough. you're paying to go on a vacation, and while on vacation you plan to enjoy yourself. for some people that could mean checking out the Anne Frank museum or the countless number of other intellectual attractions. for you (or me for that matter) enjoying yourself means getting stoned to the bejeezus on strains that you usually cant find at home.

you need to make it clear to this girl that you will not let her ruin a vacation that is, im sure, costing you a ton of money. having said that, gauge her reaction. if she still "doesnt want to talk about it" gently remind her that she doesnt have to go. that should be enough to get her to open the discussion.

you said it best in your OP. why make yourself suffer? if this girl cant deal with who you are.....do you really want her on vacation with you anywhere? let alone a place like the Dam.

hopefully this came off with me sounding less like a prick. i hope it helps you get this sorted out too.

After a few days she might relax a bit, its just a matter of days before set off now. Yea before it was booked she actually agreed to eat some edibles and have a wander around the museums with me so I'll definitely bring that back up, as I order a round of brownies.

Like I said before, I am going to have a good holiday. I was originally going to go by myself but she wanted to tag along (probably to keep me away from red lights).

She actually WANTS to visit coffee shops, not for weed but because Snoop Dogg ect have visited them. This means that I can justify about every place I want to go.

A few days ago I was in the car and one of these rap songs came on and I heard her rap "I'm rolling sweets, I'm smoking sour". I asked if she knew what that meant and she said no, I couldn't help but chuckle a little.

So why are you asking people on here? WTF! Enjoy what will probably be a F**KED up expensive vacation with somebody that will look down on you for getting stoned!
