Possibly. They're just so bloody dull to talk to. Honestly, I'd rather play with Armada Scavenger than be in the company of someone when they're stoned. I've known plenty of nice people who are into that. I just choose not to be around them when their mind is on Pluto.
I remember being at a party once where I was the only one not doing the dope. It was a crushingly dull experience. I took to talking to my wine bottle for comfort. It was more intelligent company.
The conversation in these kinds of things is usually like this: STONED PERSON: "Ahahahahahahaha. Man, Man, that is.....wall..........ahahahahahahahaha." ME: "Oh, piss off." STONED PERSON: ".......eeuuurggghhh......man......wood....ahahahahahahaha." ME: "You have no idea who I am, do you?" STONED PERSON: "The fall of civilisation was at France.....huh....." ME: "Oh, piss off." ...and so on.
I've had plenty of opportunities to get that stuff if I wanted to, but I've never been remotely tempted. Hey, I'm no saint. I drink alcohol, which is a bloody stupid thing to do really. That's not exactly clever either.

We all have our vices. -Ralph Absolutely - I have a load of J-Pop in my MP3 player for example.... I remember an afternoon that all my flatmates got well and truly MJ'd. They all ended up getting fairly stoned and all of them, except the confirmed, longterm potheaded were extremely keen that I try it. Seeing as just their second-hand smoke drifting down the corridoor was giving me a splitting headache I told them to take a hike and decamped to a computer lab to work on my honors project. I figure that when it comes to mind-altering substances alcohol, caffine and chocolate will do me fine. Anything else just feels like overkill. Karl

And if you really want your mind altered, but without the pesky bother of any chemicals, read a Jim Starlin comic featuring Warlock and/or Thanos.

Although I smoke I steer well clear of the stuff you can only buy on the street corners. As for being stoned through alcohol It's only happened to me once. I got slightly light-headed at Auto Assembly this year but my only true experience of being totally wrecked came about five years ago when I tried to impress myself in front of a fellow workmate down the pub after work. Because I only drank cider at the time I took to necking five pints within a hour and a half and had trouble getting home. When I finally did make it back home I spent most of the time in the bathroom giving the toilet a run for its money!

ME: "Oh, piss off." ...and so on. I avoided a simular experience last Sunday. The party in question was in our street (next door actually LOL). Whilst there wasn't any stoner stuff going down, there was a lot of smoking and Eastenders style banter with effing and jeffing every 5 seconds. Fortunatley at the same time I was called away to help set up the hall for the Doctor Wholiday event and test-run the church Dalek for the evening. I prefered doing that than accepting an invitation of standing around smoking/swearing convo, saying nothing and trying to block R&B / mainstream music from my mind. Plus I needed to get away from the noise that I could hear staying at home anyway. George being someone who talks to everyone and anyone went over to the party for a bit and socialised there. Fair play. She poked fun at me for being 'antisocial' although I was being social elsewhere, not to mention she complained about her clothes smelling of smoke as she got home haha. I can't stand smoking. The smoke just makes me ill, I hate how the smell gets everywhere etc etc. Being a non-smoker it affects me pretty badly. No offense to the recreational smokers, but I cannot talk with people whilst they're smoking. Despite that, I do actually get on with next door . Our lifestyle and taste choices are just different. ===KEN

I love the idea of there being a 'church Dalek'. That's hilarious. I have visions of it moving up and down the aisle, barking orders at parishioners. 'YOU-WILL-HAVE-THE-COMMUN-ION-WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! OBEY-WITHOUT-QUESTION!'

I passed the idea on today to the leadership and we actually did it at the evening service with help of an usher.
We've got the Dalek until Friday. Hopefully I can have some more fun with it.
