which is worse: stinking like weed or texting in a theater? — Page 9
Posted: 6/1/10 at 8:36pm
Yes, seriously. Even a left-over whiff of weed is pretty strong, and the scent gives me headaches and makes me nauseous. I've never been around the smell long enough to find out if I'd actually vomit from it, luckily, and I don't care to find out. I fully admit that it is probably not a normal reaction, but it is my reaction to the smell and I would not appreciate having to sit next to it in a theater for hours. To me, that would be much worse than sitting next to a texter.
To the poster who asked about patrons with gas: yes, that is unpleasant, too, maybe more unpleasant than the smell of pot. The difference is that someone who has gas probably can't control it and isn't doing it intentionally, whereas you can control whether you smoke a joint. Both are unpleasant, but one is rude and inconsiderate.

Exactly. I had a friend when I was younger who was allergic to mint. I used to use Binaca mint drops (like eye drops, but for your mouth) because I really liked the taste. And anytime I would use them around her she would get really queasy. So in this case trying to cover up the smell of pot, cigarettes, or that garlic from the chicken Parmesan (all of which might make someone somewhere sick) would actually make another person feel ill. Where do you draw the line?

agreed. pocket febreeze is a good idea too. still, i think the smell does go away soonish. and a texter keeps on texting. cigarette smoke varies and stays longer; if not until you wash your clothes. there are people who would never know i smoked and are surprised to see me taking a puff with the "i didn't know YOU smoked!" yet, my mum says it clings to me.
texting bugs me. i have seen it on the clips of the drama desk awards, senate floor, at weddings, graduations and find it very very rude.

Can you believe they threw me out of LION KING just because I had this?

I can totally relate to the cat allergies. I am not allergic but have friends who are and I really feel for them. I have owned cats for years (Don't now) and I would have to keep the cats in another room whenever they visited.

A nice Indica strain. Not too much though, the show IS 3 full hours...
Thank God for that new Taco stand outside the theatre!

Jack Herrer is a nice strain for that, but around the city Sour Diesel seems to be the hybrid strain that's easiest to come by. I find the Jack much lighter-smelling, and that Diesel stank will cling to you for days. There is not a tupperware container strong enough to mask that stuff (assuming it's decent.)
I love living in a city with hydroponics enthusiasts. And I love this thread. And if you really want to be healthy and stank-free, y'all should be using vaporizers.
And just for the record I would never do (and have never done) a performance when I wasn't completely sober, but if I'm in the audience...

It was trippy to say the least. I was sober when I saw it, but I recommend being a little high to really get the full effect.

But cocaine? That is, as Rick James put it, a helluva drug.
