I was the stereotypical closed-minded girl when I got with the Ex who introduced me to everything except liquor. He had been a daily weed smoker and recreational Acid/Mushroom tripper for years already and there was no way I was going to change that, so I didn't even try. I accepted him and the things he wanted to do, the drugs he wanted to take. I loved him and cared about him, and that's just what you do with people you love and care about. Three years into our relationship I became a full fledged pot head (still am) and even though I haven't traveled in a while with anything, I had a good year of experimenting almost every weekend and now one of my favorite things to do in the world is trip or have a fucking amazing roll.
While the relationship was anything but ideal or what my heart really wanted, one thing I would never change was him being my bridge to these beautiful substances. I am not supposed to be the type of person who is into them, but I let myself experiment and I had a partner who really was a decent coach and trip buddy for the most part. I wouldn't be half the woman I've become and am still turning into; it just wouldn't have happened for me any other way. I was suffering a great deal emotionally and psychologically and what these babies have done for my psyche I couldn't put a price or a regret on.
Gathering all the data on relationships and what I need/want for the next time, I've come to the conclusion that at this stage in my young life, I don't think I could be with someone who couldn't at least understand and appreciate the potential of these drugs or what they've done for me. That would be a must. They don't have to be into them, I just need understanding and compassion. Now if I can manage to land a dude who is just as into them and understands first hand how amazing the drugs can be, I think that would make me a very lucky girl
Long story longer, I am definitely open to being with men who don't share my interest or love in this department. BUT, it's a damn huge plus if they do and I think if that's something that is important to you then it should be something you can talk about. Communication is the glue
