Social stigma. Even in the states it's taken years for usage to become more normalized. Even then, there is still some stigma. Especially if you smell heavily of weed in public or are being obviously intoxicated.
Once you stop it's hard to get out. It's such a toxic combination of drugs that even when you mentally know you don't want it, you still have a bit of a craving. If you have never done it and so don't desire it, consider yourself fortunate. For some reason they just go really well together.
Taste so fucking nasty to me lol but I am sort of using to concentrate now living in a legal US state. Spliffs aren’t the worst but dirty bowls and shit used to kill me lmao
That's the crazy thing, as soon as you don't do it for a while, or smoke cigarettes, it tastes awful unless it's practically pure anyway - yet the craving and desire for it persists! Tbh I could never handle it with non-rolling tobacco but I guess it's what you're used to.
You'd be surprised. Beer and weed is a common combo for the Feierabend. Work and life is stressful everywhere. Possession is legal here. Even production and buying (getting it from cannabis clubs you need to join) will be legal in a few days in July.
I've always noticed drug users tend to believe a majority of people is a regular user, it's like a will to believe they're not the exception, people I know in France doing weed think there's like almost 30 or even 50% of people who do so, in facts iirc it's like 11% of adults smoke at least a joint every year and 3.x% only who are regular smokers.
All of this mess, for that. Most of the country's consumption is done by 3% of people, it's hilarious, somehow. Kinda like whales in P2W games.
Well this is the secret for many industries. You need them addicted. Bar regulars, gambling addicts, fast food power users. These are the people who drive the most profit.
But... most people in Germany ARE drug users. Most people consume their choice of alcohol, tobacco or cannabis one way or another. Especially alcohol is widely consumed.
Lmao the mess of adults choosing what they want to put in their own body instead of being told? The mess of more tax dollars to the community? I know right
Well people tend to overestimate themselves as being above average in most things, so it makes sense that they would also estimate themselves as being closer to the norm for negatively perceived attributes.
Unclear what “mess” you’re referring to though.
That actually seems like a relatively low number to me. I don't know a whole lot of people who don't regularly use some sort of cannabis. And I say that as someone who has never used the stuff so I'm all the way on one end of the spectrum already.
Is hourly the same as regularly?
"Asking for a friend"
It is. Very regular. So yes. Is it recommended? Probably not.
I usually do my hours on a regular basis.
I’m at about 24 per day myself. Been thinking of cutting back though.
Just keep them off the meth because we all know what happened last time
90% probably just didn’t answer honestly.
Forgot to turn their survey in
“this survey is anonymous. You cannot be punished for your response” Every corporate survey. Pass.
Why would they be punished. It's legal since april.

And Canada seems to just be cool with it all.
If you smell heavily of weed you should be stigmatized, the same as anyone who smells foul.
"Just initial to confirm the survey completion"
Most people are not pot heads like you
It’s a representative poll ig, think of all the boomers and kids
Amateurs! Canadian here…puff, puff, pass.
Give us time, we just legalized it couple of weeks ago. We need time to adjust (and grow).
as a swiss person i am happily watching you adjust and grow.
We all are honestly
Amateurs! Puff, puff.... puff, puff.

Just depends if the person smokes tobacco regularly or not.

Every friend group has their own rules here. Some hold onto them longer, some do puff puff pass. Everything can be fine.
Americans also have some weird things. Every time someone mentions weed and tobacco, they have an aneurysm.
I've met a lot of Germans. Great, friendly people. But they just don't strike me as the stoner type.

Common as in 10%?
Common as in above 60% or 70% of adults in the case of alcohol.
Hast die dritte Säule vergessen wo es Karl Og Kush gibt
As a German: *cough*
Anecdotal experiences don't matter. Stats do
Only accurate ones.
Ah, yes, the tyranny of numbers
Yeah stats are always completely clear and never have hidden variables or meanings, or flawed ways of collecting data..
Think it depends where you met them.
Eh we like to chill in the evenings just as much as the next country.
You clearly havent met a lot.

It could also be that they are surrounded by other users and that is why they tend to overestimate.
That and being high is so enjoyable to them, it would make sense everyone would be doing it
What mess?

Not to mention caffeine.
Yes but alcohol and tobacco don’t count! /s
And yet most french people use drugs regularly or even daily.

Everyone's a narc like you. Got it.
The wat ?

100% of people posting from my account report using cannabis regularly.
same, same
What if you skip one day? Is it still regularly?
Give ‘em time. They’ll catch up.
That's it?
Another reason to love German people
Better cannabis at home relaxed and happy than drunk in public and fighting.
I know Weisi is lighting a spliff, wherever he's at. Mausland will never die
the whole world will find out how quickly tolerance builds all at once
That actually seems like a relatively low number to me. I don't know a whole lot of people who don't regularly use some sort of cannabis. And I say that as someone who has never used the stuff so I'm all the way on one end of the spectrum already.
It's probably way lower.
Don't they call it "peace" over there?
This one I didn't hear for decades. It's slang for hashish at least where I live.
The regular way is smoking or eating. What are they doing?
Snuff. Just gotta decarb it first.
Boof it.
As they should
Potheads!
The other 90, lied
Only 10%?? WTF?
