I smoked weed (in all varieties: marijuana, hashish, kif, etc.) for many years. I quit nearly 15 years ago.

it was a going away present from a coworker (i had just quit my job)

Nope, never have, never will.

I find it disconcerting that people need a controlled substance to feel pleasure or just good. I've got endorphins for that. Oh, endorphins as well as adrenaline give you a great rush btw, equal to morphine. Runners high? That's a motherload of endorphins gettin' loose.

Also, there was a study done that said that a good night at a casino (meaning, winning!) results in the same thing as being drunk- lol. The same brain centers were very active for both.

Used to smoke it, used to like it. But I gave up drugs & alcohol 9 years ago, so I don't do it anymore.....-kd5-

In moderation marijuana can be a great thing. When abused though, it can become a problem.

never smoked it. Mostl likely never will. But I dont' really have a problem with other people doing it. I have a couple of friends who do, and it is a no pressure situation from both sides.

Yeah, I've done it. I don't do it regularly though.... probably around 6 or 7 times in the last 5 months.

Tried it once in the jungles of Thailand. Figured if I was ever going to try it, that was about the safest place to be. I had fun. But it's not something that I need. I have enough fun w/ life itself. But I did want to test it out just once to see what the bruhaha was all about. *shrugs* Not that big of a deal.

Some Europeans offered me some opium. I asked what it did. They told me that it relaxes you. Hmm. Here I am in the mountain jungles of northern Thailand. It's beautiful and serene. And these guys are trying to relax. I told them, no thanks. If I were anymore relaxed, I would've fell out of my pants. Sad testament to the human bean right there.
