Potheads and Linux; Do smokers of weed use Linux??


Just wondering as there is a growing push for a Weed distro on the web, and in other Linux forums, though I haven't noticed it at LQ

I'm not asking whether its a good or bad thing

I'm asking if people who regularly use marijauna also use Linux?

Any members of LQ smoke down?

LOL

I've only tried marijuana twice, both times (ages ago) were at parties. I had drunk quite a lot, so was unable to tell whether whatever I felt was due to booze or weed.

A weed distro? How does that work? I can imagine a cron that just works to very approximate times...


But, yeah, for some of the time I've been using Linux I was a pretty heavy pot smoker. But I wasn't at the start, aren't now, and I'm not entirely convinced either lead to the other.

Yeah, lol, and the machine is reluctant to perform any intensive processes, and goes to 'sleep' more often than would otherwise be the case.

you could equally ask as well if drinkers of beer use linux
bread eaters use linux
car drivers use linux
etc...

there probably are pot smokers who use it and some who don't use it.

Answer 1: Would explain why Ubuntu is the most popular distribution *knee-slap*
Answer 2: Would explain why said people are not using *BSD instead *double knee-slap*

Time for me to run and hide.

The answer is yes. As LQ is oriented between age ranges 10 and upwards, this isn't really a suitable discussion, so I'm closing it. And I gave you the answer too.
