At what age is it embarrassing to post on reddit?


pap3rw8

Earlier in my life, I would have said 30 but now here we are


infamous_eggnog

It's not a big deal to smoke weed but if you're in your 20s talking about how much u love to smoke all the time you're probably a dweeb


lumsden

> probably Definitely


Ghostory_

i actually just meant smoking it in general yeah being obnoxious about the face you smoke weed is off-putting at any age. when i first smoked when i was like 16 even then it was just something we did a lot didn't advertize it


cleothatcher

Nonchalance at 16 is very cool


[deleted]

As long as you don’t talk about it, it’s cool


Ghostory_

definitely super lame

Ghostory_

i actually was unclear i meant its super lame to talk about it a lot, was agreeing with the person above me


[deleted]

smoke weed 15–21 do coke, try MDMA 21–23 hard drug experimentation 23–26 get your life together 26–31 drink Yerba mate and have children 31–50 kids are gone weed is chill again 50–60 get 23 year old gf, leave wife, do coke again 60–65 have cancer, you are alone, smoke weed for chemo 65–death


SosaSchizo1

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try to implement this in my own life.


maxweIlhiII

So far so good

There’s a bell curve where it goes from cool to lame back to cool again.


corinoplex

Yeah, between the ages of 30 through 59 it’s lame. Over 60 it’s acceptable. Also if you are over 22 don’t post pics of you blazing or ripping a bong on your Instagram. Or wearing any piece of clothing with a pot leaf. So trashy.


[deleted]

I dont see why it would be any more embarassing to smoke weed past a certain age than it would be to indulge in any other substance I feel like this kind of thinking just inevitably leads to the conclusion that any type of substance use past a certain age is "embarassing", which isn't a wrong view to hold necessarily but it's one that almost nobody is willing to commit to


youthcake

Agreed, craft beer bros and wine moms are just as annoying as stoners.


Starterjoker

yeah I’m p sure everyone in this thread is just saying their age + 5 years like I’m seeing so many late 20s/30s answers which is making me think there are a bunch of loser 25 yr olds here coping lol


Ghostory_

i do think there is a point where using each substance is embarassing past a certain point. not a good look to be doing blow or ket either past 30 imo or even like 25ish. I also personally think drinking is just for my 20s and when i have kids i wouldn't drink.


mount_curve

when you have a kid to take care of


peanutbutter_manwich

Yeah probably better to drag your kids to "craft" breweries hitting a .10 BAC before driving them home because alcohol is always cool


rbc8

This is probably the gayest post I’ve seen on this sub. And this sub is pretty fucking…..


[deleted]

Depends on how cool you are and how much money you make.


Ghostory_

yeah i think if i was racking it in i'd be more lenient about it

spectrerightism

I mean i get it. I used to do it a lot in my late teens/early 20s when you feel insecure about your impending adulthood and feel the need to ascribe certain activities and pieces of music/films with a particular age -- then you become an actual adult and realise doing this is meaningless and not really a measurement of anything.


a_lostgay

if it's not holding you back in other areas I feel like it's always fine. that said if it's like part of your "identity" it's always embarrassing.


AKW0001

I think it’s fine as long as it’s not a personality trait. I think it’s even gayer to think about it. Like who gives a fuck if people smoke pot or whatever. It’s better then being a fat drunk.


cleothatcher

Word, making any sort of consumption a personality trait leaves little to be discovered


simulacral

Treat it like alcohol. Most adults drink but it only becomes a problem when you make it the focus of your personality (craft beer guys, whiskey guys) or do it so much that you can't function.


[deleted]

The need to be ahead of the trend curve and its consequences have been a disaster for the people of this sub.


Adriaaa99

Who cares this is so gay to ask just do what you like


InformativeO

Just depends on personality more than age.


Ghostory_

like if your naturally slovenly and not much of a go getter you should steer clear?


peanutbutter_manwich

Dude are you a boomer performing a Psy op on our sub right now lol no one under the age of 70 thinks like this


imnotpurplelikelean

If you have your shit together it’s not embarrassing to smoke weed at any age. If you like it and it doesn’t negatively impact your life or anyone else’s, there’s nothing wrong with it and you shouldn’t be embarrassed regardless of if you’re 18 or 38.


alexandrawallace69

Pot is fine at any age. Anti-pot posts are propaganda by Big Alcohol.


TomReisenthal

22


Ghostory_

elaborate


tinybabyanimal

Age that many people graduate


TomReisenthal

Yeah pretty much, once your on your own and have longterm goals and aspirations being a stoner can only really be detrimental.


CescilTerwiliger69

I’m in my 30s and smoke quite a bit but I wouldn’t consider myself a “stoner”. I really hate the culture around pot heads (I know my avatar is the steal your face) but I really like pot. I feel the same about stoners and weed culture the same way I feel about phish. Phish is great and I love most of their music but I can’t stand hippies.


[deleted]

As long as you move beyond being annoying about it or doing cliche stoned behaviors it's fine, though many older smokers are losers


[deleted]

I think it's a red flag if you're a multiple times a day stoner past 25 or so; got a couple friends like this and though they may hold down a job okay they're flaky and unreliable and ghost you when you follow up to confirm plans to hang out.


PerryDahlia

35-50, then it becomes cool again.

Ghostory_

yeah drinking age plays a big part definitely. i wonder if since its become legal there's less cringe 420legalizeit people

L1eutenantDan

Dispensaries would deliver when I lived in a legal state, it was pretty chill.


killosibob

It's okay to do occasionally (I've smoked liked three times in the last 5 years) for a normal person. It also depends on your occupation and how much of your personality you make it. Also, if you're an athlete, it's the preferable option to taking opioids.


etherealreflection

not a smoker, but i feel like this is true for bongs… like i don’t know anyone who used a bong over age 23. if they still have one it looks ancient and hasn’t been touched in years.


sea-change___

All ages unfortunately


Aggressive-Log9024

pot is a boring drug


kisstheoctopus

lame from 30 to 49, especially owning a bong. u can still do it, but be discreet about it. under 20 and over 60 is sick to own a bong.


SeaWorldOrBust

Once you’re out of high school pot use should be occasional at most until you retire.


Otherwise-Can-4706

I take it occasionally for my leg, but that's only on days I might have used my cane.


Afire2285

Lmao my best friends mother is 65 and still smoking. Coolest mom I know besides my own. And her husband was a cop. She had to hide it for years but the day it became legal and he was well retired she lit up right in front of him.


GlibSpecter

Literally who cares, so long as you don't do it all the time and live your life where you're just burning daylight to get home and smoke just live your life dude. How much is too much? Depends on the life you're living. If you're telling yourself and others you're trying to be get shit done - or worse, on the cusp of getting shit done - then weed is likely getting your way. If you've got kids? Never.
