It sometimes bothers me.

[(Anonymous)]

I've never had any pot in my life and I probably won't ever try it recreationally, though I am for legalizing it. I don't like the assumption that shows up a lot that everyone tries it or that everyone who tries it, likes it. I do think there are a fair amount of characters that would try it, but there are a lot of jobs out there that would do random drug tests, which never seems to be a concern. There's the fact that most of the time it is smoked and, wow, weed smells awful and very distinctive (hell, it smells awful unsmoked), which doesn't really seem to come up either. I will admit, it usually seems much more plausible if the characters are teens or in college.

This. I've never tried weed just because the smell of it makes me gag. I don't want to be anywhere near that stuff, much less actually smoke it myself.

Smoked weed once, and I hated it. I didn't like not being in control of myself. Likewise, I don't like being drunk.

This is why I've never gotten drunk or tried any other recreational drugs besides alcohol. The idea of losing any level of control of myself is very, very unappealing.

(Also weed really does smell bad)

wrt drug tests, to my knowledge they're really not A Thing here in england, and i'm sure that's the case in other non-US places too. so if the author is from somewhere like that, they may well not know that's a thing and that's why it's not a consideration for them?

(alternatively just. that even if they do know, it's fic and they're not focused on it being 100% real-world-accurate but. yeah my point still stands in at least some cases I'm sure)

ayrt

I watch a lot of procedurals, so I read a lot of fic about law enforcement and those connected to it, and for someone like that not to think of drug tests or even getting caught seems unrealistic enough to challenge my suspension of disbelief.
