Are Growers More Of The Loner Type?

[Eatatjoes]

non med-state here.

i sense a bit of jealousy from a couple of my older regular friends. It's like they are mad they don't have the balls to do what we do; but want the reward. Or they try to think they are kool with their 2.5 GPA state college degree and shitty job they hate.

I experienced first hand exactly what your talking about. I moved recently because I lost a really good job, where I moved has an extremely high unemployment rate so I got a min wage job that wasn't easy at all. Still because I drive a nice vehicle and people here used to know me as a stoner I got harassed constantly by everyone who was jealous and that thought I was growing herb and selling, in reality I've never sold or provided to other patients for reimbursement anything I've ever grown. I worked my ass off to get what I have and people still want to give me sh*t because of their jealousy, I've lost a lot of my faith in people over the last few years. The only people I associate with anymore are a few family members and you good people here at IC, my Oasis in an otherwise hostile world.

every answer is pure truth here......

I'm also socially retarded, don't let it get to you.

It's not healthy to have your personal relationships form and revolve around Cannabis.

I think so yes. I don't have many real friends. I'd say 2 or 3. I know alot of people and socialise, so am not a loner in the respect that i avoid contact with strangers or "aqquinetences". But i don't go out often, and prefer to chill in with the family and have my smoke and food and in the weather we been having, just relaxing in the garden all the time.

I don't make friends easily with people either, it's rare for me to find a new friend these days, as i don't meet many people with the same kind of mindset and values as i have. But for totally, all the way proper friends, i could count on to helpout within a phonecall, i'd say only 3 people discounting family obviously. Who apart from my mother, i am obscurely removed from, by my own doing.

you know, looking back at the ICMAG Vegas party i was just at, all of us were talking up a storm with each other....

its like we couldn't receive or tell enough information about growing and weed, it was non stop talking.....

we were all like kids in a candy store, all of us do the same thing without having to watch what we are saying, if it is safe or not....

ICMAG Vegas party? My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail

yes life is not all about weed or doesn't have to be in every conversation, but as a full-time grower it's very hard to get along with old friends and meet new friends in some areas. You have to live a lie or have some sort of front and i rather just keep to myself than do that shit. Where I'm from, you can't be open about shit like this at all. Fuck them for judging us.

I laughed when the poll results came up.
interesting topic.

I'm a loner for sure. I have a couple close friend I do things with regularly but for the most part I stick to myself. and I never talk about growing with them. The few that know, don't know enough to understand what I would be talking about anyway so its moot. that why I love you guys!!!

Personally I think it helps a TON when you grow. I find that people who are really popular and have a crazy social life have just as many haters and enemies. whether they know it or not. I keep my circle tight so I know I can sleep better at night.

I've read a lot of people on here have social anxiety and don't like dealing with the public. IMO, I think that smoking weed makes social anxiety worse in almost all people that have it. I know it does for me. which is a shame. I think meeting new people and having new experiences is what life is all about. I know its something I struggle with and I make an effort to have a friendly conversation with a stranger every now and again. Its surprising how a good friendly conversation with someone you don't know can make you feel. it does a lot to combat those 'don't want to leave the house' feelings haha

Thin and flamboyant male surrounded by women with loose morals... Yes it's lonely but glamour over substance !!

 

[RetroGrow]

No question!
I even alienate neighbors, more or less intentionally.
Not really my nature, but it's a defense mechanism.
Sorry state of affairs.

You like thin flamboyant males P?

Sorry couldn't resist

to loners with boners and female stoners!

 

[BongRipkenJR.]

This thread opened eyes about myself and all of my fellow growers. Its kind of depressing now. Even as a grower, none of your non growers friends understand your job, so you tend to just socialize with fellow growers and occasional family. The things we sacrifice for the love of this plant. I am a legal 215 patient and I have turned myself into a social misfit in my quest.

 

[187020]

You like thin flamboyant males P?

Yes I'll go out with you already !!

 

[SOTF420]

surrounded by women with loose morals...

Point me in this general direction please thank you!

 

[krunchbubble]

i voted no. love meeting new peeps (especially women )

i feel you on that bro.....

guess im lucky to already have several girls on call, who have been my friends for more then a decade. i turn down fucking more i do it....

going out and meeting new girls is to much of a pain! i went out on a date with this chick about two months ago, during the date, i find out she is a correctional officer at a prison!!! that went downhill really quick!

i follow my philosophy.....

your either getting paid or getting laid.....
when your doing one, the other is getting away.....
