That thing looks like the playboy mansion compared to the log lean-to in the woods at Crotched.
Oh no you didn't! I can already see Inside Edition's East Coast follow-up story and the resulting demolition.

Most media is terrible and I pay little attention. As for getting high, its not for me, never really was. I get my highs from a 20' kicker! I dont think anyone should be on the mountain inebriated whether from smoking, drinking or whatever your drug of choice happens to be. I have nothing against pot, I dont care if its legal or not but dont bring it around me, my house or my car. I dont drink until im done skiing for the day. If you have the mountain to yourself, do what you want. While my friends, myself, kids and other people are present that you can hurt from your poor life choices, be responsible and wait until the end of the day.
Am I sensing a double standard here?
Those two boarders crashed mostly cause they were trying to show off, I watched it twice. Then cause they are Idots. The smoking would be the last factor in my books.
If you are, it's in your own mind given nobody in this thread to date has claimed it's okay to ski drunk.
What I think we should be condemning is a certain level of intoxication, irrelevant of the substance consumed.
Benedict this rant isn't directed at you I'm just speaking my mind and your comment provided the launching point for that.
Skiing "drunk" is different than skiing after drinking a couple beers. Just like skiing "stoned out of your mind" is different than skiing "after a toke or two and now feeling very fresh indeed".
What I think we should be condemning is a certain level of intoxication, irrelevant of the substance consumed. If you don't like substance A. vs substance B., that's your preference. But let's not pretend that it's not possible for the majority of psychoactive substances to be consumed in minute quantities with minor effects.
In other words I'd rather be skiing around a bunch of people on 45 micrograms of LSD (a very small but noticeable dose) than having just consumed three cocktails at the bar for lunch.
I'm not saying skiing intoxicated at all is good.. because skiing is dangerous enough already.. but when it comes to pot vs. alcohol on the slopes in terms of safety, I think it's a clear cut case just like operating a motor vehicle. Stoned is simply safer for most people.

Again..........which is exactly what was/is occurring in this thread.
Everyone here is in complete agreement. Harmony. Stars & moon align.
And it shouldn't be directed at me, given I'm not saying what you're suggesting...........and again...... neither is ANYONE (literally, not a single poster) thus far in this entire thread.
You seem to want to have a boxing match on that subject, when the reality is there's nobody to have that fight with in this thread.
Haha.Just the other guys bag?:grin:I stopped smoking when I was 19 as well. Not my bag.
