Nerve has another edition of its "Dating Advice From..." column, and this time they went to the Miss High Times contestants to answer readers questions. We're not sure if the girls were actually baked when giving their answers (for our stoned advice column, it's a requirement), but it was still really pot-centric: My girlfriend always expects me to pay for our shared pot. How can I put a stop to this? Stop buying with her. Get your own stash and let her know why you did. If she were a real stoner she would have her own stash too, and this never would have happened in the first place. [Nerve]

I think the location of my personal stash was the only secret I had with the ex-man! Some things are sacred.
If you SHARE IT, you pay for your half. That's how sharing works, you unwashed hippie mooch.
Pot w/ the S.O. should be like dinner or drinks. You pay this time, I pay next.
I also liked the dude who was uncomfy with his g/f wanting to smoke up before sex. None of the girls that answered acknowledged the fact that this might make her way too lazy to do anything but lie there, or fall asleep.
Tequila shots work better.
How very Annie Hall, shewar.
The couple that burns together, stays together.
My fave advice from the column:
"First, I would smoke a bowl. Sit back and try to look at the situation objectively."
Always a good idea!
But seriously, stoners, you don't have to change your name to Sativa. The object of your affection is already called that.
@J.D.Regent: Or rock dreads. Seriously Sarah, I get it.
In college I dated a total freeloader who smoked all my weed. In retrospect I should have told him to get his own, but somehow the loads of sex sort of made up for his cheap ass.
In my view, things that one is addicted to need to be bought separately, since no one's addictions are exactly the same, and people get uptight when they are out of their addiction of choice, and you really don't want to have the chance to blame a lover for that. Such as.
@wolf biter: In college my sweetie and I would share the stash and the cost. Then we graduated and moved in together (and eventually married)so we still both pay for it, depending on how the balances in the accounts look.
Those answers were definitely not as good as Slut Machines.
The politics of pot are always the most heated and at the same time most passive. You get so angry but then you just gotta lay back and enjoy friendship, man. And I second the 'I get this 8th you get the next' system.
Not fair, I saw Lucy and her Psychiatric Help booth and got all excited for SM and Rich's Pot Psychology only to be disappointed by this, which pales in comparison.
She needs to be intro'ed into the fine art of smoking someone out.
I think I'm being taken advantage of with pot. I'M the one with the connections and I'M the one who makes the time and plans to hook up with said connection and I pay for it.......ALL. Then the boyfriend calls and wants to see me asap so he can get his share and never remembers to pay me back. I'm so pissed that I'm going to go home and smoke a bowl.
@shewar: Not for everyone :) If that was the issue, I think he'd have said. It's waaaaay easier for me to come when I'm high. I loved that all of them responded positively.
@J.D.Regent: @Jessi Ramsey: Wellll, they are in the running to be Miss High Times. If there were no dreads I'd have to call shenanigans.
This was my favourite, courtesy Sativa:
-Under what circumstances is it possible to forgive a cheater?
-If they hit the lottery and offer to put you in their will.
I had this problem with a girl I wasn't even dating. That really sucked.
He should just do what I do when I don't to share something with my girlfriend; pee on it.
i'm assuming the fact that my southern boyfriend pays for everything. ever. always. allows me to smoke his pot for free also. i don't keep my own stash anyways and i never have... but i'm hoping my bf isn't secretly writing in to high times about our relationship.
@Gamaray18: i agree times a thousand
