I'm waiting for the courses to get their weed license, just like they have a liquor license. A few more bucks in the kitty

Welcome to THP Stoney Mahoney.I don't have any problems with smoking mj while playing golf.
I respect the heck out of people who abstain from any drugs, whether it be caffeine, alcohol, or MJ. I'm sure I could, but I don't want to. I don't judge them as a prude and I don't want them to judge me as a lush. Unless I'm you're playing partner where we've both put money on the line to be in a tournament, I don't want to hear your opinion as to what I should or shouldn't put in my body while I enjoy myself on a day away from work, ESPECIALLY when it doesn't harm you. I wonder how a playing partner would feel if I said "hey man, I'd really appreciate if you didn't drink any coffee before the round, I really don't want you to get the jitters and mess your game up. Even worse, you may get jittery and run me off the cart path into a tree while you're driving the cart."
Almost everything we put in our body plays some sort of role in our behavior. You eat a meal full of carbs you might feel a little tired right after. You eat a meal full of sodium and you may feel bloated. You rip a half a bowl and you may feel a little slower. You shotgun a beer, you may feel a little disoriented. You drink some coffee and you may feel the "caffeine crash" on hole 6.
Just let people enjoy golf, it doesn't matter if you smell a little bit as you drive by, it doesn't effect you. Just like you walk by the port-a-john and smell . Don't breathe in through your nose and keep on movin. Those who say they haven't encountered it probably have and never even noticed., it's everywhere. Someone may have had a vape pen, someone may have popped an edible, etc.
So should work both ways right? My gist was "ignore it and keep moving". I was specifically referring to people who b*tch about "catching a whiff" as they drive by.I could give a rip about who puts what in their body. I’m very much on the side of decriminalization of most recreational drugs. However, for someone to suggest that I modify my behavior (don’t breathe through my nose) is just wrong. The smell of weed doesn’t “effect” me per se, nor does the smell of poop from a port a potti- but pooping isn’t a choice. If my playing partner wants to light up, fine. Just don’t do it while sitting next to me in a cart or standing near to me on the putting green. I smoke cigarettes when golfing, but only by myself or at a distance from others, out of RESPECT for what another person may or may not care for.

Well, that's one way to make an entrance eh?! Welcome to THP @JoanJhoness!Welcome to THP Stoney Mahoney.
There's one guy who sometimes comes out with us and he uses. He's good about it though and knows we don't all want to inhale his second-hand smoke so is quite conscientious. I think the difference between drinking and smoking is that when you swallow a mouthful of beverage, I'm not also tasting it whereas if someone lights up, they can't completely control where that smoke is going. It's all legal up here though, so as long as the course is okay with smoking on grounds and the person is being respectful I've got no issues.Where legal, do you see a difference between having a couple beers (or 12) and someone smoking? Drinking is more than acceptable on any course so why on earth would smoking be considered wrong?
As long as you have a designated driver to get you home.I don't have any problems with smoking mj while playing golf.
I smoked some crazy strong pot a few years ago for the first time since I was a teenager at the course. I have never been that confused and my golf swing no longer existed. It was funny but an absolute nightmare when I would top the ball over and over trying to get to the green
Ok, we'll just agree to disagree, because now you're just nitpicking semantics and throwing out baseless accusations of "justifiable stigma".Not sure what you mean by working both ways, but I do acknowledge that the smell of marijuana is very “lingering” you might say, compared to a cigarette for sure. I live in Oregon where it’s legal, and I will occasionally smell weed from inside my own vehicle with the windows rolled up. In areas where it’s not legal (not saying it is where you are) there’s a justifiable stigma attached to the smell of weed, and I don’t have a problem with someone bitching about it. Even here, you’re not supposed to consume in public but it’s looked at differently due to the laws. Whether you agree it’s right or wrong, it’s not unreasonable to expect people to have a problem with it, and that’s their right. Main point was that to say that people who don’t like it should just not breath normally seems pretty inconsiderate.

Glad your buddy is respectful and I wish more people were like him. Another analogy would be cigarette or cigar smoke on the course, if smell is the only concern. Ideally everyone would be similar to your friend however there are a ton of a**holes out there that ruin it for everyone.Well, that's one way to make an entrance eh?! Welcome to THP @JoanJhoness!

That day, even if I would have waited until 15, it would have increased my score by at least a factor of 2 overall!My buddies and had a rule, no smoking until at least the 15th hole. If you’re not a regular smoker at least the whole round wasn’t a wreck. Anymore we are getting up there in the years, most of us pass and don’t really miss it. Enjoy while you’re young.
I agree. Any smokable is in the same boat. Just be respectful and most guys are pretty tolerant, in my experience anyway.Glad your buddy is respectful and I wish more people were like him.
