How often do you encounter people who smoke a joint during a round?

[Dave2512]

I've never been paired with someone that broke out a J. I'm not opposed to people getting high but I don't think it's a good idea on the course. Kids are out there, if someone takes offense it could disrupt my round etc. There's a standard of behavior for everything. Passing a doob at a rock concert, sure I'm in. Golf course, not for me.

If we were paired together and I was to partake, you'd never even know it.

Unless you can wash your hands and use some mouth wash out on the course I'd smell it when you got to the green or tee box. I've been at it for 30 something years. It's pretty obvious when someone has been smoking. That said it's not 1972 anymore, tincture is where it's at. Maybe you're not smoking it?

I would agree if I'm firing up a fatty in the car on the way there or if I'm lighting a J on the course because it just continues to smoke whether you're hitting it or not. If I'm using my little one hitter and I'm not smoking anywhere around the guys I'm paired up with, I seriously doubt anybody would know. Either way, if my buddy & I are paired with a couple guys that don't look like they smoke, we have enough common decency & respect to not do it anywhere near them.

If I didn't know I wouldn't care.  I'm not judging you or anyone else that partakes.  Some of us that maintain clearances won't take the chance that it might trigger a false positive even OUTSIDE on a golf course.

That was my point with my post above yours. If we were paired together and I didn't know for sure that you didn't mind, I'd have enough respect for you as my playing partner to not do it anywhere around you.

I've seen it alot here in the Bay Area. A couple guys in my normal foursome smoke during our rounds. It dosen't bother me at all since they ride in the same cart and I walk. We're outside so as long as I dont smell like it when I get home to my one year old, Im good.

Often enough in Eugreen.

I agree with joe here. I wish that they would just legal and get it over with. Waste of time and money prosecuting the herb. Yes herb. It is not a drug. Money is the only driving factor making this illegal. I have had guys smoke it when I played with them. I don't like weed but don't like that it is illegal. Cigarettes and alcohol should be illegal before this natural herb would be.

Anyway on a side note I was reading this thread at 4:20. :P

lol Don't forget about vaporizers. I do not "partake", but you guys are right... it is not 1970, or even 2000 for that matter. I think the older gentlemen on the forum are picturing this Bounty Paper Towel Roll sized zig-zag that smokes like a roman candle or something.

I would never ride in a cart with someone that is straight blazing a bowl out in the open because that, well.. is about as classy as some of the results of Google searching "gross walmart pictures". Just keep it to yourself and take care of your business before you step on to the course and you have nothing to worry about.

who cares if somebody smokes a little weed out there?  why is it a problem?  this is golf we are talking about.

[MrSandman]

Is Marijuana really "illegal"?  In many jurisdictions, marijuana is a violation, similar to jay walking or disorderly conduct.  Most jurisdictions, a violation is not considered a crime.

Open container of alcohol is a violation in many jurisdictions.  If you are playing a public course and brought your own beers and they don't serve them there, then I guess technically you are being as criminal as a person smoking a joint.  Would you really look down harshly on someone drinking beer they brought from home at a course that does not allow beer?

I see it very regularly.  Never been an issue with anyone in the group either.

Never seen or smelt it on course but I did play with one of my bartender friends and he had 3 flasks, 1 tequila, 2 crown, a 12 pack of coors and to top it all off, a set of battery powered speakers that he connected to his Iphone and had on the entire round, rofl. That's a first for me.

What did he shoot? Did he even finish the round? LOL.

We regularly play with tunes going in my foursomes.

Ha ha, I was offered and I politely declined but noted that the time was 4:20, they got a kick out of that. Anyways, I enjoyed playing with them, I've played with much more unpleasant people.
