Try again, geo, there are more ways to get high than pot. Some might say they are simply getting high on life, enjoying time with family, etc. Your poll did not specifically ask if these people sat around the house smoking pot.

I agree with the Advocate. I come on this forum to gain useful knowledge of events and issues that I may be lagging behind in. But sometimes the subjects found here make one want to "take a couple weeks off" from the forum. It's almost to the point of being like a soap opera, check it a couple times a month and you still get this jist of what's going on. It is understandable why many in the general public think this forum is not-so-credible. Sometimes I read and just shake my head. I'm glad to be part of the other 66.6% in this case.

I guess that puts me into the remaining .1% 
Listen George, not everyone who smokes pot is a pothead, just like not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic, not everyone who shops is a shopaholic, not everyone who indulges is fast food is seriously obese, etc. Making generalizations like the title of this topic is certainly not warranted.
By the way, on your poll there should have been a 'other' category, because what I happen to enjoy was not listed.

"33.3 percent of this forum are potheads"
Are you bragging or complaining...?

I enjoy all kinds of things not on the list. For example:
Boating-Canoeing
Hiking-Trail Walking
Hobbies
People Watching
Arguing on the Internet 
But most of all, my favorite activity is three letters long, and starts with the letters SE_ 
Honestly, there is not one thing anyone has listed that can not be done anywhere other than A.L., so I would like to hear from people what they would like to have available to do in this town that is currently NOT available?

We need real entertainment---like live music options or maybe a REAL concert once and awhile? If you want any real music options you are driving to the cities, rochester or mankato.
Some decent shopping---home depot and wallyworld are a small start but face it albert lea shopping stinks
A movie theater with big screens and stadium seating
Real restaurants---seafood, Italian, steakhouse
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could shop at bestbuy or hot topic, eat supper at red lobster or olive garden, go to a cool concert or movie on a BIG screen with stadium seats then go out for a couple drinks after the show?
There is just no vibe in albert lea---never has been and probably never will.

Good points Cocaine. For Heaven's sake, there isn't even a freaking zoo around AL! LOL
It's crazy how much pot gets brought up in this forum. Who gives a poo. Too bad too many of you (not most I realize - phew) have such a bad stigma about it from your "high school days". It can be an elightening stimulant when treated respectfully.

Only 1 flaw that I can see in this thread's subject line, the poll that was taken is in no way secured from people 'stuffing' the ballot box. Much like people did with some polls on the Tribune web site. All you have to do is delete your cookies (which is way better than tossing them  ) and you can vote over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Basically as far as anyone knows that poll could have only been taken by a single person, although I doubt that was the case.
You just can't use a poll such as this to be scientific about anything.
