I'm Straight-edge.
Pot tastes like a 40 year-old woman who died when she was 20's tits.
And as pussy as it sounds, sometimes I feel like a fuck after we have sex and then I never talk to her again. I know. Carzy right?
I usually don't fuck a girl that I know I'm never going to call. That's not being straight edge, that's just not being a dick.
And I don't know what kind of pot you've smoked that tasted like that....but my suggestion is find a different supplier.
I don't drink, do drugs or smoke or anything like that. I buy Engls and guitars instead

Looks like there's a decent contigent of 'straight edge' SS. Thats fairly interesting.
For me, I suppose its even 'worse'. I never voice my opinion, but I find most fast food and fat saturated, heart-attack inducing foods; pop/sodas, and overly sugar filled substances utterly disgusting. If I'm stuck in a car with people ordering McDonalds, the smell of the meals can easily make me nauseous.
I'm a vegetarian and borderline raw foodist, (still need to work out a dietary plan that incorperates more raw food), and I'm fairly health inclined.

I drink a little with my family on special occasions, and I'll probably have a little occasionally once I turn 21, but the appeal of drinking to get drunk eludes me.
I have not and never will do drugs. I have no desire or need to. Same thing with getting drunk.
I guess I prize clarity of thought (though I am prone to boughts of stupidity [Join the Stupid Foreign Legion today!
]). And as for smoking, even if I ever wanted to, it's so damn expensive!

If your more worried about how the smoke tastes than the effect, then you probably shouldnt be smoking anyway.
Yup, sounds pretty fuckin crazy to me.

I dont mind people that are straight edge so long as they dont go around bugging/harassing others.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I HATE the term straight-edge. Why? Because there are groups calling themselves straight-edgers who are basically over-proud gangs and will sometimes even attack non-edgers. That's why I would just stick to the drug/alcohol free shtick instead of giving it a label. Labels, in general, suck and lump people into broad, useless categories.

I thought that the whole straight edge thing involved no screwing too...
Anyway, if you don't drink/smoke/do drugs/eat meat/etc then that's cool. Making a whole fucking point out of it is basically annoying.
*I've played at various shows run by sXe-ers. Going on stage with a pint of Guinness and smoking a cheap cigar is definitely a good start to a set*

I say fuck labels.
Labels are for trendy hardcore emo punk straight edge hippie metalheads.
I agree with a few here. There is no need to label yourself. It seems more like a cry for attention or an identity crisis. Go ahead and make your choices but there is no need to label yourself as anything. Just be you...
Oh fuck I sound like an after school special.
oh and I FUCKING LOVE MINOR THREAT

No screwing around.

And a very good start.

'straight edge'
This wouldnt piss me off half as much if EVERYONE iv ever known who has 'claimed edge'ugh hasnt turned into a total waste of air a year later (drinking, drug use, sex with randoms etc).
If you dont want to drink or do drugs or have random sexual encounters then great, dont! There doesnt have to be a name for it. It IS a 'scene' thing because there have been plenty of people living like that before 'straight edge' came about who werent 'straight edge' Its just the same sort of thing as metal having 1000000000000 sub genres these days. Everyone is struggling to 'be' something. What about just being yourself and making a life choice? You dont have to join a club/sect/cult to live healthy.
Going back to my first point most people who deprive themselves of alchol at an age when they are trying to find themselves generally turn into the type of person you see out in the club EVERY time you go out no matter what night and how often, always drunk or using drugs etc.
Usually because they decide at some stage 'you know what all that stuff is cool, fuck it bring on the absynth!' This only goes to show they were just doing it for the image in the first place.
If someone tells me they dont drink i say cool and forget about it. If someone tells me they are 'straight edge' I laugh and tell them see where you are in 2 years
Also i used to not like the taste of beer. I now drink it as a refreshment whenever i get the chance. This WILL happen to the OP at some point.
Having sex with a girl and not calling her doesnt make you a dick if she isnt calling you either, as long as your being responsible and taking precautions who cares?

i was going to post this long fucking speech about how i have bean sober for the past few months, since i was hospitalized due to an OD but all it did was piss me off and make me want to get fucked up and feel that fucking acceptance that drugs made me feel, but i don't want to fuck up again like to many times before. If i want to keep this life i have gained back the only thing i can do is stay sober because i feel if i even touch that shit one more time i will be fucked and dig a hole i cannot come out of. so it seams my only choice at this point is sobriety or death... 
fuck straightedge fuck adiction fuck drugs alcohol depression love hate violence scenes and fads. Im going to play guitar now its honestly the only fucking thing that helps me at this point.

Holy crap, am I out of touch with the rest of the world. I don't drink or smoke or do drugs, but I didn't know there was a freakin' "lifestyle" name for just being yourself. If I was to hear somebody say, "I'm edge", hell, I'd think he was claiming to be the guitarist for U2.
And I thought this was funny as hell...

I agree about straight edgers being lame.
I've caused a bit of harm to my body over the last few (or more) years by smoking, drinking, and what have you... and then it dawned on me that it was seriously hurting me. So I stopped. And you know what? I feel so much better not being under the negative influence of chemicals and unbalanced energetic levels.
HOWEVER... even whenever I did do those things, I didn't go to shows and say "Whooooo, I love drugs and alcohol and sex!!!!" and paint shit on my hands and face... I just did it because that's what I wanted to do. It's my business either way, and I'm not going to preach to anybody about what's good for them.
Likewise, I think its beyond useless to walk about with x's painted on your hands and face simply to announce that you're "straight edge". Its not my business, and I don't care. Neither does anybody else that isn't 100% impressionable/trend-following.

Agreed. Don't need some dumbass trend/label to justify not fuckin yourself up.
