Marihuana at Hunting Camp.

We don't really have camps out west. So drinking or smoking is not a good idea as there is usually a vehicle involved at some point. Not to mention the small matter of firearms as well.
Sask is '0' tolerance on impaired driving now too.
So we'll just have to keep hunting sober and straight I suppose. Which doesn't hurt my feelings at all.
Better odds on making it home in 1 piece if the 'Trail mix' and ' Silly smokes' ain't around.

And some of us love hunting enough that we would never even think about missing the opening day we wait for all year long.... unlike your group, by your own admission......

As was stated earlier, my camp, my rules.... freedom of choice is a great thing.... especially when you own the place, because then you have the ultimate freedom.....

Be honest with yourself. You mean "ultimate control" don't you?

No..... I certainly don’t...... I paid six figures for a camp that will eventually become my retirement property......

I did that because I was lucky enough to find many like minded guys that shared a camp..... guys that introduced me to something new and guys that share the experience of bringing their kids up around our camp....

I did what I called “campsgiving” at camp and we had turkey and all of the fixings for 20
People....

I don’t think a very simple set of rules around hunting season makes me a dictator....I just want everyone to enjoy themselves and enjoy their hunting season....

You have never been in an organized hunt camp then... without some simple rules that everyone agrees to as "fair and equitable" you are just asking for friction. Rules are not restrictive, they are liberating.

Marijuana Effects
Compulsive eating, bloodshot and squinty red eyes (may have trouble keeping them open), dry mouth, excessive and uncontrollable laughter, forgetfulness, short-term memory loss, extreme lethargy, delayed motor skills, occasional paranoia, hallucinations, laziness, lack of motivation, stupidity, sickly sweet smell on body, hair and clothes, and strong mood changes and behaviors when the person is “high.”

Yah, a real pretty picture
 
Back in the 80's, when I was 14-15, we had a solid group of guys from all walks of life, from all age ranges(14 to 70). I was the youngest, with my buddy being a year older. This was back in Vermont. There were dads, sons friends etc. One guy smoked weed all the time as it helped him with migraines. No one cared despite the US's zero tolerance. No one else was into it, but they didn't judge either. The guy was a highly intelligent, fully functioning pot head, with a great attitude. We loved him. We all drank beer and liquor. My dad never kept me from drinking.
We kept it civilized, played lots of poker at night, drank beers and booze and we were like a very solid brotherhood. My dad and his buddy did the cooking, while everyone else took turns doing the dishes. My buddy and I, being the youngest, did a little more than our share of dishes but hey,, so what? We were glad to be part of the "boys", so we did what we were told. There was always respect. No one would tolerate otherwise. I had earned the respect of the older guys, because even at a young age, I usually got my deer(which we shared). First thing we'd do together is have the tenderloins. Some of the best times of my life.
We were so tight as group that when we found ourselves at certain social occasions outside of hunting season, we all grouped together like brothers.
One thing I liked about our camp was that we had no electricity for a long time. Wood stove and gas lamps and stove. The fridge was outside(deer hunting in VT is in November and it gets mighty chilly). At some point, we brought a new guy in the camp, and with him he brought a generator, radio, etc. I wasn't into that. Even with sound dampening, you could hear that bloody thing buzzing.
It was a bit of a social scene! Friends from other camps would stop by for visits and drinks. We laughed so much and had such amazing times. I would be slightly depressed when deer hunting closed. I miss those days. Thanks for prompting someone to describe their experience. It brought me back in time for a bit.
Not a camp set up by a "blazer", but that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I am kind of laughing at this as well...... while I am “tolerant”, I have yet to see a blazer step up and tell us all about their camp.....

Just a bunch of guys telling me how I should run mine.....

Sounds like a great Camp Attitude.
Balfour eh.....Could be worse places to end up..... :)
My grandparents had a cabin on Harrop Point, spent many a starrey night camped on the shores of the West Arm.

It's not uncommon for "hunt camps" in European countries to have a breathalyzer passed around in the morning. This is usually on driven hunts with a couple dozen people and dogs. You fail, you stay in camp.

Makes sense, no your limit and hunt within it.

Yup, there's some unbiased sources of info. Good for you looking that up.
 
This is a pretty good area. Low population density and plenty of space and clean water. Hardly any violence/theft etc. I have a decent lake view and look across to procter. Harrop is very nice as well. Just a little ferry ride over. I remind myself several times a day how lucky I am. My kids(6 & 9) feel the same way. I am a single dad and we live well below the poverty line, but feel rich!

I laugh because people think smoking pot is something young people will be doing. Most people around 60 years old have smoked more pot in their youth than the young folks would imagine. It just wasn't as potent. Most of us have grown out of it long ago. Its just not that exiting any more. I now hate the smell of it. So I don't tend to hunt with guys who want to get high while hunting or in the camp. What others do with their hunting partners is a matter of choice for them. Just not for me.
 
What I find strange in this thread is, people from all walks of life take prescription medication, whether it be heart, blood, pain, etc. Seems all these medications be it pill form or injection is accepted by society. Although tens of thousand have prescribed cannabis for treatment of such ailments of pain, anxiety, appetite, epilepsy and many other reasons, yet many people will not accept it as a medication because it's not a little white pill. So many people also don't seem to get the fact cannabis is not all the same and some that is grown has high amounts of CBD and low to no THC, which means there is no "high" effect at all. But the uneducated will just assumed it's all the same and people are just getting high and to call a spade a spade.
If you ever had a child with a sickness that "conventional" medication cant seem to help, yet cannabis can give a better quality of life through use with a doctor, than you people have no clue what your talking about when you claim everyone just smokes it to get high and nothing more.
And btw there are safe ways to consumption without ever having to smoke or smell it. What is truly sad in this thread is the "it's ok to drink, but no weed in my camp". I'm so glad I have my own camp where no one tells me how I should live my life, and I treat my guests the exact same way
