Are you a human with two eyeballs? I'm seeing a trend where like 90% of people with at least two eyeballs smoke.

[–]compromised_account 14 points15 points ago

Let us not forget the one eyed smokers.

[–]slinky_1 11 points12 points ago

Much love for the onsies

[–]emu420 3 points4 points ago

Onsie here. Really helps with the red eyes.

fucking haters thought this was a chill subreddit

[–]t8te 0 points1 point ago

Im sorry i pay attenion and wonder how some things effect others, you dont have to be a dick about it

[–]Longwayfromcali 7 points8 points ago

I actually miss this feeling of excitement knowing I'm free to smoke :(

[–]penisvaginasex 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, same. It's not the same when you can just smoke whenever you want.

[–]greekish 119 points120 points ago

Another reposted gif where a teenager talks about smoking / not getting caught by mom on the top spot of trees again?

I'm out trees, off to /r/eldertrees I go.

Edit: To the kids downvoting me - you just don't get it. You actually make me look at myself and go "What the fuck am I doing fraternizing with these little shits? Either they don't belong here, or I don't"

I know that there are some more mature saplings who DON'T make these kinds of posts - so it's not a "kid thing". It's just so fucking irritating to read about your moms and Dad's that are OMG SO cool/lame/fundie/etc. Then of course the comments turn into a cesspool of 15-19 year olds who talk about how "brainwashed" their parents are, and have this entitled/condescending air about themselves. They just didn't GET the Union! Omg!?

Guess what? I am a parent who smokes weed, and if I found out my 15 year old is wake-n-baking / going to school stoned / smoking daily I would be FUCKING PISSED. The reason I won't tell my children that I smoke is they aren't mature enough to make an educated decision about this, and the last thing I would want them to do is think that because Dad smokes, that it's ok to be a burnout.

Before any of you can chime in, this isn't an age thing. Right now you feel like you know everything and adults are stupid. All of us were like this at some point, but it's a very dangerous place to be. The humility that comes with age, and realizing that life doesn't owe you anything is a big part of maturing...that is the point where I feel most are ready to make these decisions.

When my kids reach that point (it could be 16, it could be 22) I'll smoke with them. They'll be surprised as hell that I do, but until then they will just assume their Dad is a dorky engineer with bad taste in music.

[–]Runny123 10 points11 points ago

Thank you.

[–]alltimehigh 8 points9 points ago

I think you are taking this way too serious. I'm an older ent, and I laughed at this. Sure I've been able to smoke in my house for the last 7+ years, but I remember the days of high school waiting till parents left us alone at home. Why so serious? It's just a gif.

[–]abag0fpandas[S] 6 points7 points ago

Thank you. We need more people like you.

[–]t8te 1 point2 points ago

Yes thank you this is a sub reddit, not some life lesson

[–]wellhungartgallery 11 points12 points ago

Fuck you for giving me hope. Subscribed and waiting

[–]greekish 11 points12 points ago

Whoops I meant /r/eldertrees

It's already at 14k readers, so there is def a demand!

[–]raver459 11 points12 points ago

Can't disagree with ya, man, but as an elder tree myself (25) I don't mind the kids. I think 16, 17 is perfectly reasonable for someone to start smoking, but you're right that maturity is the factor above all else. Many kids that age probably aren't mature enough to handle it. I started smoking when I was 23 so it's hard for me to say (I was very anti-drug in high school so it was never going to happen for me), but it's definitely a case-by-case basis.

[–]Sojio 25 points26 points ago

i disagree. I'd like to see a minimum age limit of 18 put on the consumption of trees.

Edit: Minimum age limit. (it sounded right in my head.)

[–]OblivionGamer92 6 points7 points ago

You mean an age minimum?

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]raver459 1 point2 points ago

I actually agree, but I think (like it is the case in some/most states with alcohol) kids a couple years younger should be allowed under parental supervision. I know some states let you drink with your parents or other "authority figures" (although I don't know the age limits in that case)

[–]RoqueLobster 2 points3 points ago

You tease.

[–]abag0fpandas[S] 2 points3 points ago

I really think you need to relax man. This is the internet, stop treating it like it's the world and it's such serious business. I'm 18. I pay rent to my parents to live in their house. I own my own car, and commute to college. It's people like you who genuinely ruin trees in my opinion. If something is funny and I wanna post it here, I'm going to. Keep your hate to yourself man. If you don't like how /trees is then by all means go to a different subreddit. But I believe trees is a subreddit for EVERYONE. Not just you. It isn't going to tailor itself to be exactly what you want it to be. If you don't like a post, downvote and MOVE ON. Nobody is begging you to hang around.

Trees has changed so much recently and it's not for the better. Everyone just needs to let it be what it is. Theres never going to be a time where kids who are 15 or 16 aren't gonna be on here posting. Theres never going to be a time where people aren't gonna get high and post things they think are funny. So get used to it.

I don't wanna sound like a dick but when I first came to trees it was in my opinion the nicest community out there. But now you can't go to a single thread without someone being a dick and putting others down. It's just getting old. I appreciate everything you have said and in many ways agree with you, but quit putting others down for what they do just because you don't agree with it.

End rant. Go ahead and downvote me into oblivion now.

[–]greekish 3 points4 points ago

Trees has changed so much recently and it's not for the better.

Hey, we agree on something!

Keep your hate to yourself man.

Really? You're going to use the word hate here? I was basically expressing disappointment in the /r/trees community, I didn't say I wanted to forcefuck your mouth until you died.

It's a weird dynamic - how your shitty repost can be the top post on trees, and my comment about how it sucks is the top comment. People obviously agree with both of us - it really is just strange.

[–]abag0fpandas[S] -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, hate. As in your seem to have some unjustified fucking anger for something and express it in a manner that is unnecessary. You come off as a hateful person man. I'll say it. You're just FULL of negativity.

Go be with all the mature guys on eldertrees. Like you said, it seems to be a way better place for someone as "mature" as you.

[–]free_dead_puppy 3 points4 points ago

Like he said it was justified and he actually did give reasons and support for them. It didn't seem angry to me either..

[–]abag0fpandas[S] -3 points-2 points ago

His reasoning and support were literally his opinion.

[–]free_dead_puppy 5 points6 points ago

The opinion of many other people that browse this subreddit too as shown by the upvotes he received. You have to admit that posting something that has been said so many times before with the same exact GIF isn't really contributing anything worthwhile to this subreddit.

[–]t8te 1 point2 points ago

I actaully enoyed his post, and it has alot of upvotes so i guess alot of other people did too

[–]abag0fpandas[S] -3 points-2 points ago

Granted its not something that's going to change the game, it's something that I personally have never seen before and something that I thought was funny and decided to share.

Also, if we're talking about numbers here. The post itself has almost 5000 upvotes opposed to the 100+ people who upvoted his comment.

[–]free_dead_puppy 3 points4 points ago

That's because it's easy to upvote easy to digest content such as GIFs that you can see in one second, instead of going to the comments and actually reading them which not many people do.

[–]abag0fpandas[S] -3 points-2 points ago

Then leaving that out, the post still has a 60% approval rating.

[–]mynameis__MUD -1 points0 points ago

"YOU'RE JUST FULL OF NEGATIVITY"

That is something a bitch would say.

[–]abag0fpandas[S] -1 points0 points ago

Sorry br0, can't hear you from all the way from my post on the front page of trees!

[–]greekish 1 point2 points ago

You keep using that word hate, but I don't think you know what it means.

[–]abag0fpandas[S] -1 points0 points ago

Verb: Feel intense or passionate dislike for something.

Yeah, sounds like you.

[–]greekish 1 point2 points ago

There is nothing intense or passionate about my feelings towards you, or this post. It's funny to me that you use the word hate, because it's a strong ass word. It's something an overdramatic child would use. Talk to a rape victim, you will see what hate looks like.

What I commented was the truth, and thats why people agreed with it. I didn't intend for you to take it personally, it wasn't even directed towards you. Looking through your comment history, you seem like an alright guy.

I (and many others) are tired of hearing kids talk about getting busted / their moms/dads reaction when they found out they smoke.

If me and all the other older guys here posted all the cute things our kids do, or how much having a prostate exam sucks (and got upvoted to the top) you would have the same reaction as us. WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE - I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PROSTATE EXAMS.

It's not even the crappy stories about getting caught toking by the parents, it's the attitude the younger guys have in the comments. Disrespectful, unappreciative and a huge circlejerk about how stupid the parents are. As a parent when you read that, you want to slap them upside the head.

Enjoy your karma, and have a good life man. No hate from this ent!

[–]abag0fpandas[S] 0 points1 point ago

Alright. To be honest, I'm sorry. I did honestly take it personally and I shouldn't have because I had no way to know it was completely directed at me. On the opposite end of the spectrum though, those are things that kids today have to deal with. I know a lot of kids turn to trees as a place for advice from people like you who have grown up and are able to handle things with a bit of maturity. Granted some of the posts are aggravating and shouldn't be there because they're the exact same thing every single day. You're right in that aspect. I just don't know.

I'm sorry for coming at you in the manner I did. It's easy to act disrespectful over the internet and I shouldn't have. As a strongly opinionated ent, I guess I just need to step back and take my own advice and realize that not everybody's opinion is the same as mine - just as I said to you.

I read this comment and officially feel like a dick, which I was being haha. So again, I'm sorry. As I said, I just took it personally.

No hate here either man.

P.S. - I would love to hear about your prostate exam.

[–]greekish 0 points1 point ago

Me too man - I got the same feels as you on this one. *brohug*

P.S. - I would love to hear about your prostate exam.

I fucking lost my shit here haha. Uptokes to the max. Thankfully I haven't had mine yet, but it's just around the corner (of my butthole). I did get hemmoroids and my first gray nutsack hair for the first time in my life this year tho - so I still have some old man cred!

This is officially the strangest conversation I have had on Reddit.

[–]abag0fpandas[S] 1 point2 points ago

mfw I read that

Didn't expect you to go there. No regrets though.

[–]Rhoe 2 points3 points ago

I tried to make the transition the other day, but Eldertrees doesn't have the userbase /trees does. So a lot less content, and people seem a to take "maturity" to mean "srs bsnss". So don't get your hopes too high, yet.

[–]whale_pubes 1 point2 points ago

I know that there are some more mature saplings who DON'T make these kinds of posts - so it's not a "kid thing".

From a mature sapling, thank you for realizing that not all teenagers are like this. If you don't mind, I'm going to browse /r/eldertrees. I promise not to post anything, I'll just read.

[–]greekish 0 points1 point ago

C'mon by! Eldertrees has its own hangups too, but as far as everyone there is concerned maturity is a state of mind. I'm sure you'll be welcomed :)

[–]zeppelinism 1 point2 points ago

Bravo. Bra-fucking-vo. You have said what I've been thinking for the past 3 months.

[–]this_sort_of_thing 0 points1 point ago

Hang on there, why would you assume the only person who would post something like this would be a useless teenager. Plenty of older working people also live at home with their parents, but have enough respect to not light up in front of them (or tell them they smoke weed at all). That doesn't mean you're some kind of loser, either. (Well, not in Europe/Asia/Africa)

[–]t8te 0 points1 point ago

i dont know why you went on about Maturing but what exactly is wrong with a teenager smoking weed? As long as they go to school and get good grades and stay out of trouble how could it be bad?

[–]Mine_Fuhrer 14 points15 points ago

That gif's creative and I respect you for it.

[–]chpipes 5 points6 points ago

its just the fact that he didnt make it.

[–]drbrower1074 1 point2 points ago

This is what r/trees should be about, not all this fighting that's going on in this thread.

[–]knight4646 3 points4 points ago

I wish I knew which reposts would get karma

[–]redditspice 22 points23 points ago

hey asshole, stop using drugs in your parents' house....

[–]prose-before-hoes 10 points11 points ago

Right, because you didn't.

[–]Desslochbro 7 points8 points ago

Most people that respect their parents don't?

[–]PossiblyPossum 0 points1 point ago

Maybe his dad's cool with it? You don't know his situation bro, shit, maybe he lets his mom stay with HIM? You don't know, I don't know, so don't judge/assume.

[–]mr-bass 1 point2 points ago

the only relevant comment, and it's at -2. It's a shame.

[–]nburghmatt 3 points4 points ago

every single thread these days, squares.

"don't smoke in your parents house!"

"don't get high and go to school!"

"don't ask me to get a bong for you!"

"that's a racial slur!"

"don't smoke and drive!"

then a bunch of people threaten to migrate to eldertrees.

i'm thinking i'd like to migrate to a less mature weed sub.

edit: and all this "you're not helping" shit. "don't act like a goofball when you get high or it will never be legal!" FUCK. YOU.

[–]Cydia9000 0 points1 point ago

Hey, if you want to be a racist, dangerous, disrespectful dropout, that's your choice, but you must realize that people like you are the problem here. If you seriously want a LESS mature sub, I suggest making /r/teenagetrees or something.

[–]nburghmatt 0 points1 point ago

i didn't realize we had a problem here. outside of the commentary that no one wants to hear when they're getting stoned.

is there an r/ImIgnoringyourPostandBeingSelfRighteous

poor guy called an indian a squaw the other day, and his awesome handmade lighter cover was completely ignored.

[–]nburghmatt -1 points0 points ago

older Ents are cool, i'm no teen myself at 26. i smoke to have a fuckin' laugh though. too many threads that could be cool are 60% buzzkill. sometimes i find it hard to believe these dweebs even get high.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]nburghmatt 0 points1 point ago

there needs to be some kind of rule about killing buzzes.

[–]this_sort_of_thing 0 points1 point ago

It's hardly a bad thing, just as long as the smell doesn't ruin the place. I sometimes smoke in the garden. You guys are getting way too upset over nothing.

[–]daisycraze 0 points1 point ago

Same here!

[–]Dancopter 2 points3 points ago

A lot of controversy in this thread. I feel like ents aren't supposed to be fighting each other, but I'm just one guy here.

I just like to smoke weed, really.

[–]popov89 1 point2 points ago

I also enjoy partaking in trees and giggling at the occasional funny post.

[–]FrostyNugs 1 point2 points ago

that's cool

[–]ADoVe213 3 points4 points ago

I stared at this for 5 minutes because it looked so coool

[–]Tyrien 1 point2 points ago

Mom probably knows. Mom isn't stupid.

[–]Godolin 0 points1 point ago

What's going on? I'm seeing a trend where like 90% of people have a "90% statistic" in their post.

why do you hate?

I'm not sure what you're asking...

Sooo true...ohh the high school days :P

I'm in college haha. I commute to school. Live at home to save money.

[–]catata_fish90 0 points1 point ago

haha right on!

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Seen this GIF before. But it was titled something like 'when I get home after a stressful day at work'.

[–]Melkor_Morgoth 6 points7 points ago

I've seen it many times before, in this very subreddit, used for the same purpose. But it's worse than a repost-- these kinds of gifs aren't supposed to be posted here anymore. Look at the sidebar rules.

[–]WhiteHatRasta -1 points0 points ago
