<< I don't smoke...I tried it once, and didn't like it at all, b/c there was no effect for me. It's no biggie that my friends smoke it either, because all we do is b.s. and chill and eat stuff and talk for hours after that, and that's what friends love to do, ain't it? And it happens regularly without any intoxicants, so it's not necessary either.

Most people don't get high the first time they smoke it. You try smoking it again a couple times. It's kind of like the first time you tried booze...the taste was hideous, but the payoff was really fun. But, I do like the fact you haven't taken everything the tv and government try to throw out at you saying 'drugs are the devil's tool.' You've at lest done a little research and seen that marijuana has very little effect health wise other than lung damage. And, with decriminalized pot, manufacturers would be able to produce better bud and make it widely available. While it may sound untrue, better pot is better for you (at least in relation to mexican cross country brick weed). The higher the potency, the less people smoke. Studies have shown that smokers want to get high and for the most part only smoke enough to get high. Drinkers, on the other hand, drink until they become sick, passout, or otherwise cannot drink anymore.
I recommend anyone who hasn't smoked it to try it. It's a cool expierence and it wont kill you. It can't kill you. Worst thing that can happen is you feel bad for a few hours and then fall asleep. I would also recommend shrooms or anything else that occurs naturally on this earth. But, I'll be the first to say no when asked to do something that has been cooked up in a lab or been processed with added chemicals or additives. Only bud and shrooms for me.
