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.
Why answer at all then?

#32Original 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 hope you've never had coffee. Or taken asprin. Or spun around in a swivel chair.
Or even have an ice cream in a hot day in summer.

Why? I'm surprised so many more have tried it.

#34I miss the option "No, tried it, nothing special but will try once more if there is an opportunity."
Re: Poll: Do you use marijuana
#35yes and it doesn't matter. it's like coffee in terms of impact IMO.
I fully support legalization and find marijuana to be relatively harmless compared to other recreational drugs, but comparing it to coffee is ludicrous!

#36What does this have to do with anything? I mean what is the point of this poll in hacker news?
possibly related to an article in the wall street journal which says the FBI is having trouble hiring great techies / hackers to fight cybercrime without considering allowing people who smoke marijuana.

from the article:
“I have to hire a great work force to compete with those cyber criminals and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview,” Mr. Comey said.

If you're not trolling - you do know that most people don't smoke as an escape from their lives, but for whole other reasons, right?
Personally I don't like it in recent years, but I used to years ago, and it was certainly not as an escape from anything.

#38I fail to comprehend why people voluntarily, fully aware, choose to destroy their own inner organs. You are the weakest.

#40I would love to be a bigger fan of it but I find it makes me feel too anxious.
I think one of the most interesting things about weed is that it makes some people more relaxed and some people more anxious. It's bizarre that the same drug could have totally opposite reactions. I wonder if the anxiety comes from the illegality and/or the social stigmas it still has.
It can cause both of those response in the same person. Even within the same session
