But really, come on kids, it's a rock concert! Reefer haze is part of the experience.
Well said, and I like that suggestion about the oral consumption. Pot smoke usually doesn't bother me much, although sometimes a venue
can get too smoke-filled, whether it's pot or cigarette smoke. I'd like to see more people use food or pill methods to imbibe marijuana.
There was SO much pot smoke at the Hamilton show last fall that Trent commented on it during the show, if I recall correctly. I remember standing in front of the sound board for that one and continually being offered a puff from a joint (took some once) and it seemed like half the audience was lighting up joints even though it was a no smoking venue. It's not really helpful for a singer's voice when it's that thick, and we left there with our clothes absolutely reeking of smoke. That was one of those instances where it's just too much. Reasonable amounts is ok.
I'm not interested in paying for what I consider the excessive expense of weed, alcohol, or any other drug, but if a concertgoer or musician offers me a puff from a joint I'm usually happy to freeload. I sometimes have some pain in my hip joints or legs and it makes the pain completely disappear which is the side effect I prefer most.
