I'm not complaining about the time it takes. I'm complaining about the fact that it's obvious the character's aren't smoking enough to incapacitate a newborn and they're seeing and doing all kinds of crazy shit that does not happen with the greenstuff. It's silly.

It'd be like writing a movie sex scene and having the characters' orgasms bring about world peace, pot's that far-fetched in some flicks.

Well, its funny you bring up orgasms in films since it seems to take about 2 minutes to "get there" and BOTH "get there" at the exact same time.

Repeat with me : SUSPENSION.OF.DISBELIEF!

But everyone knows sex is shortened in movies. the effects and activity are more or elss the same as RL.

You could say exactly the same for weed.

You must be smoking some fancy product laced with acid then, if you think movie pot is even close to the real thing.

What I'm saying is, the effects are not the same. At all.

I've got a nit to pick with the portrayal of marijuana in movies and tv.

Specifically, how little characters smoke in relation to how they act. Unless something's actually a stoner movie -and half the time even if it is -you'll see like 3 or 4 characters together sharing one joint between the group of them, and they get into all kinds of crazy acting shit.

Really.

I mean, pot is a lot stronger these days than back in the heyday in the 60's and 70's, because of the increased levels of THC in modern plants. But having one itty bitty little hit off a skinny joint you're splitting between an party full of frat boys just will not make a person rip off their clothes, dance like mad, and giggle their asses off at cartoons. Not even if it's their first time smoking and they have a delicate system.



So what's up with this? You'd think enough people have tried the green by now that somebody working on these scripts might notice that shit doesn't happen. Like, ever.

I'm at a loss.

Wait. You don't believe the plots of all the stoner movies where some dude smokes some weed and he suddenly sees unicorns hopping over rainbows while the other dude smokes a doobie with his lady friend and suddenly gets so horny that they rip each other's clothes off and have mad, passionate, sweaty monkey sex?

In reality, I thought that getting stoned would make someone so mellow and dopey that they wouldn't be able to get it up for sex. BTW, I wouldn't use most Hollywood movies to help inform anyone about the effects of doing drugs or learn sex education.

i dated a pothead and he was terrible in bed. maybe if i would have thought it was good sex if i was also a pothead or under the influence of some other drug.

Not everyone who smokes is a pothead. Alcoholics are bad in bed because of their excess, but you wouldn't abstain from sex with everyone who'd ever had a drink, would you?
