Someone just asked the opposite of this question here and I was wondering if there are cases were you're just not interested in something but you know the community is great nonetheless.

it's communal, and it brings others into the circle

As a big pot head I think this is the big point. If you see someone smoking, there's a damn good chance they'll let you take a smoke. But you gotta be careful, cause then you're gonna be stuck into a 30 minute convo about nothing haha

I didn't say "perfect chance" because one time I was in German outside a club and smelled someone smoking a joint so I mimed the smoking gesture and he called me a selfish American and then they all laughed at me haha. But then later that night they called me over to do a couple shots with them so ¯\(ツ)
