Just curious. After reading a lot of different posts that seem so odd to me I.e. ''women smoking weed'' it made me curious as to where all these women are from and what type they are(chassidish, yeshivish, MO). I would like to understand different mentalities and different cultures. Not in a nosy way. Dont need to see your screen name, feel free to post anon
That being said, Im from Boro Park, and I''m chassidish (Satmar)

I'm from a small out-of-town community and I was raised Litvish, but married an MO flippout who became out-of-the-box Chassidush. We basically fit into the Yeshivish community, but DH wears the Chassidush Levush.

That's me in a nutshell!

I'm from the Planet Ork. Despite my disadvantaged background, I do not indulge in weed, alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, megadoses of vitamins, People Magazine or daytime TV.

I'm originally Satmar, too. From Williamsburg. Now we live in Monsey, and we're not Satmar anymore.

Raised MO, moved "right" in college, went to sem, bought the package, married a Lkwd kollel guy. I did try weed in HS (it was around in my coed HS) and I don't think it did a/t for me.

(I didn't respond to that thread though)

All that extra blood flowing to your head while sitting in an Orkian fashion seems to be an asset to your posts Smile.

I was born in Russia, moved to Ukraine, then to Germany when I was 2,5. I grew up there, my mum and me became religious when I was 12, since there was no man around, we didn't affiliate with any group.

At 14 I moved to antwerp, Belgium. Still living there.
I married someone who is (more or less) chabad.

Sounds fascinating! Don't suppose you'd care to share where you live- at least what country it is?

Northern California... and yes, I've tried weed. But the first time I tried it I had an asthma attack, had to go to the hospital, and was grounded for a year by my parents. That was definitely one of my most nebbish moments;( I have always wanted to try pot brownies, though, maybe the next time I'm in Denver I'll find some kosher pot brownies.
