Darn. I forgot about the weed.


After my divorce I went on several dating sites. I was pretty shocked at how many guys said they smoked weed daily and any woman they dated would have to be okay with it. At this time it wasn't even legal...but I live in a mountain state that has always been a weed smoking state. In my mind weed was something one left behind with college.


I said no to all weed smokers and the dating pool substantially shrunk. Awhile later I dated someone who was...yes...a weed smoker. I was wildly physically attracted to him so I broke my own rule. I spent a summer sometimes (and sometimes often!) smoking with him and at the end of the summer I felt like I had gone on a three-month vacation from life I could ill-afford. This guy also ended up having all kinds of undesirable traits. That was it for me. Experiment over.


Now that weed is legal here in my state...forget it...everyone...and I mean everyone...smokes...or ingests. It kind of creeps me out. I don't smoke anything, or drink alcohol, am vegetarian...and would love to meet a non-weed smoking vegetarian. But in my neck of the woods - now - that's like being someone who doesn't drink water!
