I didn't smoke pot until I was 18. I remember being a young boy and walking into a room with my mom and her friends and they all would act very nervous and I could tell they were hiding something. Looking back I know that they were cupping their hands over pipes and trying to pretend they weren't doing something illegal.
Having tried it on my own, having smoked it regularly, on and off, for the past few years. I can say it's worth giving a hit to. If you don't like the buzz after 3 times smoking it, by all means, don't.
It has been used for centuries, medicionally, recreationaly, religiously. I can say that I can enjoy a happy, active livestile while smoking occasionally. I can say that I feel at pease with myself and the world around me while I'm "high" but that means nothing. Try it yourself if you're curious. I haven't had sex while I'm baked, I've done things over the internet while I"m high but obviously it's not the same thing.
If monks can use it to get closer to god, and buddhists can use it to harmonize themselves to the universe, you can use it to keep yourself from coming as fast.
I believe the statistics that say anti pot campaign ads don't prevent usage and that responcible adults should be allowed to smoke whatever the hell they feel like smoking. So, yes I believe we should end pot prohibition.
Other than that? Yes, smoking can damage your lungs (obviously, you're inhailing carbon monixide) yes it can fuk up your cacadian rhythum (sp) but if you want to smoke a leafy green plant to see what it's like more power to you.
P.S. I'm drunk ATM
