Lets start with weed.
It's been a hell of a long time since I have smoked. Mostly because I wasn't around people who smoked and didn't have the money for it when I was around them. There was this lesbian chick I used to know who had the best fucking weed dude. She rocked. Her GF was hot too but I knew that was a dead end and really only cared about the weed.
Right now, I'm becoming a self-improvment addict. I want to purify and improve my body mind and soul. So weed, as a foriegn substance, just doesn't fit into what I want to accomplish.
I still think it's stupid that it's illegal. If you compare weed to alcohol it's much less dangerous (People who get drunk tend to fight more while people who get high just chill out and empty the fridge). But ultimately any substance that alters your mood, body, or mind in any way even if a Doctor gives it to you is something that I would never totally trust.
I read this over again before I posted and I sound like a total pothead. I'm not. Really, even when I did smoke it was never a routine thing for me. I wouldn't smoke a J right now if you paid me to. Maybe in another ten years I'll have changed positions on the issue. "A foolish consistancy is the hobgoblin of little minds..." RWE. But for right now thats how I think.

I would not say this is completely acurate. I've seen a girl watch a group of people smoke a J without participating, wait for certain ones to leave and then pull out a bag of her own weed to share with those who were still there. She was waiting for the "Riff raff" to leave before bringing out the good stuff, as my brother put it. Even among potheads there is often a social structure of status.
Also, I've never had a problem with people smoking around me and getting upset that I wouldn't join them. The mindset is usually "More for me." So I don't see that as an issue. I do know several potheads right now and they know, understand and respect my thoughts on the subject. They don't see me as any less cool for not smoking with them.
Now, for non-illegal smoking.
I have less to say about this but removing it from the other makes the post somewhat more coherent.
I never did smoke cigerettes. I never liked the smell.
If you smoke, fine smoke (I don't really advocate it since I used to work at a Cancer Center but...) But don't apologize for being who you are either way.
And I wouldn't care what some girl thinks about if you smoke or not. I seem to recall Mojo posting a while back about smoking Black and Miles infront of a girl who obviously didn't like it and he still did well that night.
I tried for a while to keep a lighter on me just to have if anyone needed a light. But I kept forgeting it and kept losing it.
I'll spare you the speach pertaining various carcinomas, head and neck cancers, esophageal and other nasty little problems for which the treatment is really shitty. It's shake and bake and I helped...
Wesley.
