What I notice most about the on-topic replies is the term "smoke" assuming mj instead of tobacco and not requiring a distinctive term like "toke". The majority position of "situational ethics" (previously an oxymoron) is also notable.
In three hundred climbing visits to one state park, I have smelled mj about twice, and not from a climber. I have never seen or smelled alcohol around climbers there. Few there to climb smoke cigarettes, most of them military, and a very few climbers keep a chaw going and spitting the while.

Really doesn't bother me either way. I don't smoke, but weed is one of the last things I'm worried about being exposed to in the world today. In all reality it's just a burning plant, if it really bothers you don't ever sit around a camp fire!!!!

Which reminds me:
I was at the crag once and broke out the stove, pan and some bacon for a pre-send BLT. Some people didn`t really notice, a few people started giving me looks.
Does anyone else make BLTs at the crag? If someone else is frying bacon at a nearby route, does it bother you? Are you bothered more by the smell? or are you a vegetarian?
I like to think Im pretty reasonable and avoid too much bacon when Im climbing, but on occasion it has affected my performance.

Bacon is always welcome where I climb. You sound like an awesome climbing partner!

Hilarious! I imagine this would be a huge distraction for those stoner climbers who have the munchies and would affect their performance far more than the being stoned part. Just sayin... -Teo

....in a positive way, of course!
BLTs are awesome, but the Brits have gone a step further in distilling this culinary delight into its most basic/best components....the "bacon butty", pure genius! (being in Canada, you are probably already familiar) The NZ version that I was introduced to as the best hangover food (next to cold pizza and warm flat beer, of course) consists of 2 slices of white bread with butter and bacon.... Combined with some strong coffee and beer, and you're ready to go.

As to your question, it doesn't bother me at all.

I helped my uncle, Jack, off his horse.

All of these are correct, but your first sentence, and OAHM's, is just plain weird and unnecessary.
I helped my uncle, Jack, off his horse. (this means that there is more than one uncle and you are identifying Jack, specifically).
You're definitely wrong about that one. If anything, that construction implies that there is only one uncle, Jack, you could be talking about. It is equivalent to the wordier, "I helped my uncle, whose name is Jack, off his horse."
In reply to:
I helped my uncle Jack off his horse. (you only have one uncle, and his name is Jack)
That in no way implies that you only have one uncle. Consider: "I helped my uncle Jack off his horse, then I helped my uncle Bob off his horse."
In reply to:
I helped Uncle Jack off his horse. (you helped, specifically, a man you call "Uncle Jack.")
That form is only reasonable when you are addressing a sibling, or at least another family member, unless you are a child incapable of understanding that Jack isn't everybody's uncle.
In reply to:
I helped my Uncle Jack off his horse. (correct and same as the above, but very weird. why use this when you can use the above without using "my?")
Explained above.
Here's the rule:
"Capitalize family titles like mother, uncle, or grandfather when they stand alone or are followed by a personal name. Example: I'm planning to call Mother this evening. However, do not capitalize family titles when possessive words like my or your precede them. Example: I'm planning to call my mother this evening. The exception occurs when the words uncle, aunt, or cousin are used with a first name, forming a unit. In this case, the family title should be capitalized, even when preceded by a possessive. Example: I'll call my Uncle Ron to see if he is coming for Christmas."¹

Half-naked climber -- possibly high on mushrooms -- rescued from First Flatiron in Boulder By Mitchell Byars, Camera Staff Writer Posted: 11/11/2011 12:42:51 PM MST
A climber who was half-naked -- and possibly high on mushrooms -- was rescued from the First Flatiron on Friday afternoon, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
At 12:35 p.m., officials received a call from a climber saying his friend was "not acting right" and required assistance as the two were climbing the First Flatiron. Both men were 25 and visiting from Missouri, according to a news release.
Emergency crews were able to retrieve the climber, who was treated and released from Boulder Community Hospital.
Deputies found psilocybin mushrooms -- a hallucinogenic -- on the climber who called the rescue in and arrested him on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance.
Investigators say the rescued climber may have been under the influence of the mushrooms and could face drug charges.
Also, deputies say they think a civilian may have been bitten by one of the climbers during the rescue.

I don't smoke anymore, but when I did I would often smoke while (gasp) lead climbing and lead belaying (oh me oh my). Often I would bring a "big wall bong" on anything longer than a pitch and smoke at most belays, hell I can't think of a single El Cap route I have been on without a bong. I am so frickin' sick of this sensitive new wave generation of "safe" climbers. "don't smoke and climb, wha wha wha, don't free solo wha wha wha". I think most of these "safe" gumbos I see come to the valley with shiny crap straight out of REI preaching about how free soloing is stupid and how they would never want to be under a party who was smoking weed are the ones who end up killing themselves or others and putting everyone in danger. Even been to the SAR sight in Yosemite???

+1 for bacon!!!!!! I like to camp on a ledge at my home crag. its about 120 feet off the deck, just big enough for a tent and a small fire. I allways drink and smoke (dubes) when im up there. The best is cooking bacon sammies for breakfast then rapping into the crag right out my tent!
