I think it would depend on why the person was using it. If they are just stoners then I probably wouldn't date them. If she used it for medical reasons then for me that would not be a show stopper.
A bigger flag to me honestly is someone that has NEVER tried it. I don't understand that at all.
I've never tried it. It doesn't appeal to me in any way, shape, or form. Why is that so difficult to understand? Never smoked a cigarette, either. I can't imagine this being a "flag."

The flag is someone wouldn't know if they liked it if they haven't tried it. I wouldn't have known if it appealed to me, or not, if I never tried it. I tend not to connect with people that have lived their lives conservatively... that's the flag... for me. If it isn't for someone else, that's fine too.
Depends on the person.... I certainly wouldn't red flag a person for being a casual weed smoker. A heavy pot-head probably not. The same goes for alcohol and tobacco. I wouldn't date an alcoholic but a casual drinker, even daily.. probably ok. I also wouldn't find a chain smoker very appealing either.
No.. not everyone smokes weed...
I smoked weed earlier in life but stopped when I started to see long term relationship potential between my future wife and I. She absolutely finds the smell of tobacco (and weed) nauseating and grew up in a chain smoker's household. Her father died of cancer earlier in life.
If I were completely honest, I am kinda hoping it would be legalized in NJ.... wouldn't mind having a smoke once in a while. I can get it fairly easily but legal problems from possession of CDS is no longer about just me... but also my family.
If it's not your style.......don't sweat it.....move on.
Lots of people won't date drinkers, lots of people won't date non religious people, or people with kids.......etc. Pot is no different than other hangups.
About 2 years ago, I called it off with a "casual" drinker who ended up being a heavy drinker. The gal was beautiful and had a great job managing several bank branches. Different circumstances but my point to you is that even if everything else is great, one hangup that won't go away is nothing to feel bad about walking away from.
..........If you were a person who didn't smoke weed, would you date someone who did? Maybe just something that I was taught from a young age was wrong and always carried that stigma with me, but I couldn't date someone who does.
No. I would not.
Smoking is incredibly harmful and to me it doesn't matter what she smokes; deal off. I've got better ways to spend my life.
I agree with being more concerned about a person that never tried it.
This makes no sense to me. Being concerned about someone who hasn't tried a drug that is illegal in most places?
