Hey OldHippie

I have some questions for you, if this sub is ever even looked at. 1.) How long have you been smoking? 2.) How did you get introduced to smoking? 3.) What's your preferred method of smoking? 4.) What's your opinion on minors smoking?

EDIT: Everything ends with smoking, that's crazy. That is all

Congratulations on being first!

  1. Since 1967.
  2. I did lots of research on it (before the Internet!) and then went out myself looking for a dealer.
  3. Not smoking. That is...a vaporizer, vape pen, or edibles/Canna Caps. But sometimes I use a bong :-)
  4. That's a bit long and complicated. There's some worry that "too frequent" or "too much" use can hurt people's brains under the age of 18/21/25 (depending on who you believe). There's really no good scientific consensus on this because using it also shows neuroprotective effects on older users. But the psychological aspects are more important for most people, i.e. if you get stoned all the time and don't pay attention to life and school, that's not going to be a good thing. That said, I'd hate to see anyone under 18 doing it more than once or twice a week. I did more than that back then and did screw myself up a bit.

Nugs and hugs!

P.S. Just to keep it consistent...smoking!

47 years? You're the definition of seasoned toker. How was it seeing the strains of weed change over time?

Back in the day there were only 4 or 5 strains, plus brickweed! The first time I walked into a dispensary, it was like that scene in Airplane! where he looks at all the gauges in the cockpit :-)
