Nah, not me. I did it when I was younger, but Im over it, and have better things to do with my time, money, lungs, etc.
When I DID smoke, I tried taking my blood pressure before and after a joint... before: normal, like 120/80.
After a joint?? WAY elevated (I mean like 180 over 120), which leads to my next point about why I quit and wouldnt smoke anymore:
About 10 years ago, some guys I work with went to OTB (Off Track Betting, where you can legally bet the horses in NY) and smoked a few bones on the way... a fun way to end the day, right??
One of the guys that went had a massive heart attack while standing on line... dead before he hit the floor at 32 years old.
Other than occasionally smoking, he appeared healthy... not overweight, exercised, ate normally, etc.
I've always wondered if he HADN'T smoked, would he still be alive? Nobody can say for sure, but I also cant believe the pot had NO influence at all.
That was all the reason I needed to quit. Honestly, I wish I never touched the s#!t. What purpose did it ever serve me in life? I have no reasonable answer for that question.
I get off WAY more on training, eating healthy, waking up alert, riding my 'Bus, etc than I EVER did from getting high.

A true stoner response. "Dude man, I smoke a pound and still drive fine"
Just slower...
All jokes aside, driving impaired is not a laughing matter, but I would rather encounter a stoned driver than a drunk one....

armwrestle anyone on the site

Won't smoke it anymore. But wrote a paper about how if it was legalized for our American Farmers to grow.....we could literally be out of debt within 5-10yrs.
From a NOT smoking it to get high perspective, there are just to many positive uses for it that everyone could benefit from. That being said...the Tobacco & Alcohol Companies throw MILLIONS of dollars at the "powers that be" so that will never happen.
From the great words of Peter Tosh....I say LEGALIZE IT!

I agree
Let me preface this.........I am a 16 year veteran police officer.
Marijuana should be legalized. It's less harmful than alcohol. Besides, people who are going to smoke it are going to smoke it regardless of what the law says. We might as well tax them like we do tobacco smokers and make money off of it.
To answer your question, no, the taste of marijuana disgusts me. Too pungent.
