: within reason, of course. To say that you 'live like a fugitive', you've obviously gotta be smoking quite a bit of pot. I wouldn't call a 'casual' smoker like you a stoner, nor would I call a 'casual' drinker a drunk. But I would call anyone who drinks quite a few times a week a drunk, just like I called him a stoner.
: But maybe that's just me and the way I was brought up.
: And please, I am the LAST one to call someone else on their spelling OR grammar... just so you know I don't play like that ;)
I know a LOT of people are like.. OMG.. You smoke (in a whisper) marijuana? You're a pot head.. You're going to jail.. Pot is a sin.. Blah blah blah..
And I suppose you do have a point the 'living like a fugitive' line does make him sound pothead-ish.. It's just I thought you were lumping everyone who smoked in to the pothead category.
