What got you into smoking bud?

Nobody was just born with a joint in their mouth, although I'm sure a lot of people on here are going to say they were....

But seriously, what influenced you to give smoking the herb a try?

 

Well, I found out how non-toxic it is, and how you can't die. I was at a party, just drinking, and a few people went outside to smoke, so I joined them, but I wasn't gonna smoke, I was just gonna sit in the car, smell the smoke, see what it's like. They peer pressured me into smoking, though I didn't get high. It's all been uphill from there.

 

im a fuckin dirty ass hippy... it happens. :jester:

 

Actually, my story is kind of interesting... I decided to get high after I had oral surgery. I was on laughing gas as well as some insane opiate, and although I knew pot wasn't the same as an opiate, I knew alcohol wasn't cutting it and I wanted to feel something similar to how I felt in the oral surgeon's chair that day :-D That, and the fact that many of my musician heroes smoke(d) it... hehe

 

I went through a really depressed period last winter and I was looking for something to help. That gave me the motivation that I'd never had before, and that motivation stuck even when I came out my depression (before I'd smoked). So where before I'd always wanted to try it but had just been too lazy to find it, I had drive and I was amazed how little time it took to find a steady supply.

 

It was out of plain curiosity... the idea of changing my state of mind was too interesting to pass up.

 

half baked

 

I was totally interested in it after what I had heard about it. I also found out that it wasnt toxic and going to kill ya like they try to tell ya. I think I may have also read an essay describing being high or something. but yeah, hearin bout it made me wanna give it a try...

 

i did a few essays in jr. high and did my research before eventually finding the opportunity to smoke. a lot of my research was about the health effects and religious benefits of cannabis, so i was interested to know what it was all about. besides, at school they took it so serious, but on TV and in movies it was all just a big joke so i figured it wouldn't be that bad.

 

in grade 8, i tried it a couple of times but really started in grade 9 my older brother always smoked herb when i was in elementery school so actually i was NEVER against it, while my friends used to always say ill never smoke etc..

i always wanted to give it a try and i guess now i smoke it almost everyday ha/.

 

I don't remember, mannnn.....

Seriously though...I really can't remember. I remember being completely against it in middle school, then loving it just a year later. I have no recollection of what went on during that inbetween time.

 

i was totaly against it when i was in elementary school, like grade 5 and 6 when i had heard about it
but in grade 6, for some reason i was in a really depressed state, and in the summer between grade 6 and 7 i was with some friends and one of them had a joint, i knew that pot wasn't unhealthy, but i knew it was frowned upon, i gave it a try anyway

which is pretty much my last clear memory, haven't gone more than a month without it since, and that was 5 years ago

 

i had some money on me one day at school. then a stoner came into my class randomly who i've known for a couple of years. i asked her where i could get some weed. she brought me to a dealer, i bought some, and we smoked up. i've been smokin ever since.

 

I was forced to be the stop watch guy at a grade school track and feild event (I was in 10th grade) I was so pissed, and someother person who also was forced (for our PE class) and he brought some weed. Papers with Oil on it, and weed.

 

Hmmm...good question. Well i was greatly against drugs due to the wonderful DARE program for a large part of my life. Eventually in like the summer of 10th grade, i started randomly listening to the dead, honestly the only reason i bought their cd was because i thought the name "grateful dead" was cool, so i bought blues for allah simply because i thought it looked cool. That summer i became a dead head, and i sorta wanted to try weed, but I was still kinda afraid of it due to DARE and all that crap...but never got an opportunity. Eventually throughout the 11th grade year my interest in trying weed had increased day by day, and simultaneously the DARE brainwash wore off but NONE of my friends had smoked it, and mosta them were straight edge...so i didnt know how to get it. Finally, that summer i went to an allman brothers band concert at Pnc bank arts center and toked up like 5 different joints. From then on i became a monthly toker, a weekly toker, and now i'm a 3-5 times a week toker.

 

curiosity. when i was at a party a few years ago, my friends offered me some and it was goodddd.

 

Mainly from my reading and friends. I would read about the beats and then research the things they did and one thing led to another, and now I smoke.

 

PEER PRESSURE

hehe I always love that answer
Um well basically I started to "experiment" with alcohol and one day my best freind had like 3 joints and shared one with me...Ever since then I have been in love.

 

me and my friends were hangin out and drinking a little 2 summers ago. then my best friend (who is a major pothead) whipped out some ganj. We passed it around, and the rest is history. It wasn't too high that first time, but since i was with so many good friends it made everything really really fun and enjoyable.

 

my friend had been talking about it for a while (got my curiosity going) so I just went over to his house one summer day..
