Stiletto Stoners Shocked The Hell Out Of Me

[Kath1]

Lowly paralegal that I am, I was glad to invited out one Friday last Fall for drinks and dinner with three pretty high-level female attorneys I work with, all in their 40s or 50s. We had our drinks and went to a very nice house where we had dinner and talked shop. After a while, one suggested we go out to the back porch for a smoke. I grabbed my Marlboro Lights out my purse, followed them out and lit up. As we are sitting out there smoking, one of them asks me when was the last time I smoked some really good pot. I didn't know if this was some kind of test or what so I said about 30 years ago. She laughed and told me I was in for a treat. I was totally shocked as she lit a bowl and started to pass it around. As you might expect, I got stoned immediately. The sight of the four of us in our "business attire" huddled on this porch smoking pot struck me as funnier and funnier and I laughed until my sides hurt. This quickly became the end-of-the-work-week ritual and I really enjoy being a part of it. I never would have guessed that such bright, successful and tough women were actually secret stoners. The "Stiletto Stoners" really do exist!

1. You would be amazed at the

numbers,ages and professions of "stoners."

2. Indeed.

And for the most part, I think that's just fine. But I wish the House of Representatives would put down the pipe once in a while. I think their stuff is laced with something bad.

3. I wished to hell they would pick up a bong...might be helpful.

I think it is impossible to enjoy the herb and remain a tight ass.

8. I love hearing stories like yours!

I don't consider myself a stoner or a hippie. Oddly enough in my younger days I rarely ever touched the stuff because i was worried I might be drug tested for work. In fact I didn't even smoke weed on a regular basis until I was 30 years old. I kinda wish people could be more open about their enjoyment of weed. The stereotype among non-users still seems to be that of hippie and slacker types and thats simply not true.

9. Thanks

Hey DLine.
Smart as a whip young paralegal, age 25, got hired and has joined our "smoking group." I used to drink too much all the time from stress at work and feel the horrible effects the next day. Now I rarely drink at all and am able to do a much better job. These days, we don't even bother with happy hour on Fridays but meet for dinner, discussion, good music and smoke. I'd like to quit smoking cigarettes but I have no intentions to stop smoking weed. It is a positive thing and defintely should be legal. By the way, I never wear stiletto heels! :)

10. A Little Bit More...

Just a little bit more on this topic now that I have the time. I started smoking again at 53 after not smoking at all since I was 21 or 22. I've been through divorce, being a single mother and having a very stressful job. Before I started, I was totally stressed out, feeling like I was losing my mind, waking up hungover and generally depressed. Marijuana has helped me change that. I feel 10 times better now. I was very apprehensive about my college age daughter, who lives with me, finding out about "mom smoking weed." We had some discussions about drugs and legalization and I admitted to her that I smoke. She was so glad to hear this because she is also a smoker and thought I would be so disappointed with her. It is not unusual for us to smoke a bowl in the evening and have a nice talk. This is a far cry from when I was drinking and we argued all the time. Marijuana should be legal. My daughter turned me on to a web site about the Women's Marijuana Movement. It is worth checking out. Peace.
