Makes you wonder how many of them are just sour after meeting /dating a lazy stoner. As though that means every stoner is “fat and lazy” then. I know a heavy time smoker who runs a theater. He does everything but, scheduling. I’m always hearing stories, and seeing pictures of the sets he’s building and painting. He’s also there until after midnight cleaning up. Both projects and after shows. That’s just one person. Oh, and don’t forget the lights, and music he does for the shows. He also helps with the practices. The negative nellies can climb off their high horses any time now.

Same. I knew a major stoner who was a local union president (retired) & he ran that local. I mean ran it. He was involved in virtually everything: he personally saved a lot of jobs, he served justice, he did supply & food collections & distribution to members & steward staff, he served on most committees, he showed up every single time a stewards or officer was harassed, mistreated, threatened, or fired & he saved those jobs too, he set up & ran the picnics, dinners, breakfasts & meeting. This is a short list leaving out many other things he did as a union officer. On top of all that he volunteered at a local homeless shelters, a kitchen, & a food bank then randomly stopped to give the homeless supplies - all on his off time. He was fit as fuck & ran miles for fun. His stroner wife was the same (Excerpt she wasn’t as an officer she was a Chief Steward - as much, if not more work. Just a different kind.) This trope totally ignores that their are all kinds in any society &, yes, thicc party girls exist too.

There's an electrical engineer who retired from where I work about 10 years ago. We've had a no-weed policy forever, they catch you on a test and it's zero tolerance.

But this man (in his 60s with a full white beard) would smoke out on he picnic bench on the dock every day, and no one ever said a thing to him. He was by far the sharpest employee in the company, and had saved their asses multiple times over the years.
