Original post: No, never tried it. Instead I put my energy into making my life so good I wouldn't feel the need to escape from it. Comment: Funny how everyone hates on my life choices as if I was pushing them on others! You a-hats are all just bullys! I challenge every bully here to a fight. You want to twist my words? Why don't you try to twist my arm too? Chicken? Of course you are! You're just a bully!

I'll try putting energy into my life next time I have a killer migraine that nothing else will relieve.

What does this have to do with anything? I mean what is the point of this poll in hacker news?

At a guess, someone is curious and wants to know the answer to the question. Feel free to ignore it or give a false answer (I promise I won't come to check up on you).

The impression seems to be that all people from NL must use soft drugs because they are more or less legal there. It couldn't be further from the truth, the majority of the people that I see use drugs (soft/hard) in NL are actually foreigners that moved to NL specifically because of that particular freedom (and the generally laid back atmosphere of Amsterdam I guess) and tourists.

So, as a dutch person I'm kind of interested in the outcome of this poll too, especially given that in the rest of the developed world use/possession could easily be a misdemeanour or even a crime.

I would love to be a bigger fan of it but I find it makes me feel too anxious.

If you vote in a poll remember that upvoting an option in the poll does not automatically upvote the poll itself.

Surprised by dominant "No and never tried it"

some people probably don't want to answer honestly. this has always been a challenge for cannabis advocates and activists.

This poll has a lot of options for something that could have been boiled down to "No, Rarely, Sometimes, Smoke Weed Everyday."

Even worse - although there are 8 options to choose from - I don't find myself fitting into any of the categories.

Someone is curious, and apparently many upvoters are curious as well.

What does edibles/patch mean?

Instead of smoking the leaves, many people put extracts into foods. e.g. marijuana brownies. Hadn't heard of patches, but I would think it's just like nicotine patches but with THC instead.

Curious if any developers here would advocate it as an enhancement to creativity or other ability that relates to their work...
