I've been smoking dope since 1976 and I've had that ultimatum many a time. Prolonged, excessive use does blank a person out - no lows, but no highs either. It's definately NOT Harold and Kumar. Now I just try to stick to the weekends. Almost all the big smokers I know would love to give it away.
I can understand Heathers view - stoners are not fun people to hang around with. Then again, I do have a problem with women and their "I'll love you if.." attitude, but there you go, you don't always get what you want.
I'm not singling dope out - prolonged excessive use of anything is bad. I don't consider myself stupid, and have many an arguement with myself about why I need to be out of it all the time. What am I hiding from blah blah blah. On the plus side, it turns me into Jimi Hendrix/Bob Dylan for a few hours.
Anyway, I don't know why Paul doesn't do what all men do regarding drugs and girlfriends - lie. It's the law.

Thanks Kevin. Funnily enough I had the same convo with the g/f last night. I had to concede on the prolonged use bit. If she gives up smoking straights I'll give it a go......and then become a secret weekender. lol

Go hard! Thursday night is snooker night, which means a good chug tonight. Oh well, whadaya do? Thursday's kind of the weekend, and Monday's sort of qualify as well. Just gotta take that edge off.

Something real sad - I used to lie to my girlfriend that I was going out drinking so I could stay at home and get wrecked unmolested. Must be the only guy that lies about going out so he can stay in.
And if you're reading this honey, it was ANOTHER girlfriend. (I'd never lie to ya baby.)

^Lmao! Quality. hehehehe I can dig that.

I think it's an issue of how passive to be, when to be passive, and about what to be passive.

Yeah, but i still think he's got a dominant personality and you'd have to be willing to put up with that. Even the other three had to. I think now though he must have mellowed because Heather seems more independent.

Oh, Paul's definitely the dominant one. I think that a main factor of being a McCartney woman would be that you don't mind playing second fiddle.

Kind of insensitive of her, in a way, isn't it? I mean, if he was a fucked up heroin junkie with needles in his armes and a belt in his mouth it wouldn't be but consider this:

Every day for 30 years and Paul is just Paul? That's a lot to ask.

Well, if your married to Paul you do what Paul tells you! That goes without saying!

So what if Paulie likes his joints? Like I've said before, he was dropping acid before she was born, and it's hard to believe at his age that getting baked from time to time is going to be a gateway to anything else.  Some people like a few drinks, and if he wants to smoke some pot, as long as he doesn't bring it into Japan, who cares? I'd rather have a room full of stoned people laughing and having the munchies than a room full of drunks brawling, crying, etc.

From the article I get the impression that it wasn't just a few joints from time to time, but pretty much every day all the time. When you smoke like that for that long you don't sit around laughing and eating.  It takes you over. For the other person, its like a part of them is just never there. It must be damn annoying. Sure it's fun when friends are over. But what about Tuesday nights, Sunday mornings, wednesday lunchtime... we're not talking weekend tokers here.
I'd have a problem with someone who had to drink every day.
And telling guys what to do is a girlfriends job. Starts with the shoes (Do you have to wear those trainers EVERY day?) Then it's your hair (That would look nice on you). Your clothes (I got this for you when I was out shopping). Blink and it's your friends, your past-times, your life.
Anyway, I'm off to my Misogamists Annonomous meeting
