if you're not attracted to them then you're not. no biggie.

as long as "do you smoke weed/drink" isn't the first thing you ask them and used as a screen you're ok.

I think it just comes down to acceptance. If you can accept that they are straight edge and they can accept that you are not, things could work out.

any body who knows me knows that i am complete and utter pothead,i dated and lived with this chick for 2 years and she was a complete straight edge,no booze pot or anything,she didnt mind me blazing or the occasional coke binge as long as i was responsible about it,to be honost this was the best relationship ive ever been in.so if u like the person thats all that matters,just make sure at the beggining that they can exept u as a pothead,peace

I used to be straightedge. I'm not now. I may go back, and I may take breaks. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to do drugs. But just because someone hasn't taken drugs doesn't mean they're really missing anything other than a couple of different perspectives on life. If it'll be helpful for them, they have to be ready to do the drugs anyways.

Don't push peer pressure too much. A little is okay, but just understand when someone says "I'm good" then they have that right.

i totally see what your saying. how can you relate or go enjoy your night of drinking blazing etc. if there not going to be in on it and probably just starring you down over it. its awseome if they do becuase its one more thing you can enjoy together.

on the other hand its terrible becuase your both doing it all the time and suppose it becomes a problem for one of you, the other may not notice and away you both go.

i dono, if the person is awseome then you can work around it, but if there wierd about it then it may not work.

hmmm...I never smoke weed and I barely ever drink but I am faaaar from straightedge...I see what you mean though...I could never go out with someone who doesn't love to dance...

You are only attracted to people who fit for your current life. Its not really a straight edge vs blazing question, its a matter of finding someone who complimets who you are at this stage of the game.
Its not bad it human nature.

If they are fine with you and your ways, then it should be alright. If they get pissy when you do... Fawk em.

its definately acceptance and knowing ahead of time what their lifestyle is like. but the thing with acceptance you have to have a line in how much ull accept.. with me i dont really perfere to be attracted to someone religiously married to pot.. but with proper negotiation i can handle it, but just if it gets worst and moves on to other perphenalias(sp).. ill draw the line. courtney, its not bad at all..we're all attracted to ppl who we have things in common with. its same with me.. as shallow as it might sound i dont think i can be with someone who doesn't have knowledge about electronica or dislike it.

I can understand. My bf I've lived with for almost 3 years smokes weed all the time and did when I first met him (I never smoke weed because it doesn't agree with me at all). This I don't really like, but I can handle it. We've made a deal...he'll stop once we have babies :silly: but for now it's his thing and he enjoys it so I'm not about to ask him to stop, as long as it doesn't effect our lives. As for drinking, I don't think I could handle it. Every once in a while would be fine but if it were more than once in a while, I don't think we'd still be together... or maybe we would who knows!
