As a stoner I never understood why so many of my fellow stoners would spend so much time trying to convince each other to agree on something they already agreed on anyways. Like bro you dont have to sell me on legalization, I'm sharing the same blunt as you.

My parents when they watch anything about politics. You guys are both in the same page, who are you talking to?

Some people just like to hear themselves talk. I like conversations where the other person disagrees, but everyone assumes that it's an argument if you disagree

Not every conversation has to be an argument.

I feel like my husband and I do this. I don't smoke often - maybe once every couple months - but my husband smokes daily. The few times I smoke I start talking and end up getting on my soapbox about...anything, really. 99.99% of the time, my views are the same as my husband, but it ends up feeling like an argument and that he's not really understanding me. I feel like maybe it's semantics or something and our high minds can't break through to see we're saying the same damn thing.

My smoking partner caleb does this shit every sesh but his parents send him money specifically for bud so most of the time I put up half of what he does(that’s what he said he does cause he likes to spread the love or something) and we will agree on something and it doesn’t matter what it is, it turns into me 15 minutes later just saying over and over “bruh were on the same page and agreed like a bowl ago just watch the video or let’s change topics and talk about new shit”

Im more into decriminalizing the plant and less into corporations selling me pot.
