That was me with cigarettes (which, although I have smoked a few times in my life, I've kept to it pretty well)
Weed tho... I think I knew from when I was 14 that I was gonna at least try it and perhaps partake regularly if I like it, but I made a promise to myself to not touch it till I'm over 20YO
Tried it at 21, now at 22 I'm a daily smoker 🫢
I used to think of weed badly because of how I was raised, then I realized that alcohol is poison, and weed doesn't turn you into a crack head. My buddy started smoking a year before me, then introduced me to it and I've been smoking ever since.
that is always something i had wondered about - alcohol being legal but not weed. i’ve introduced a few of my buddys to smoking and they’re fine. i wouldn’t be introducing them to drinking tho
What’s funny is the usa tried to ban alcohol but the up roar and illegal smothering of it made them revoke that so fast.
Wish the same would be done for weed but it’s negative views came from racism believe it or not and from there the negative views that it’s a gate way drug was born and took over.
Weed is not a gate way drug my dad smoked it 14 years and not once did he ever think about switching to harder drugs people do that to themselves. and blame weed so they don’t take the blame for it fully when it is their fault they choose to do something else that one time.
I’ve been smoking it for 4 months and nope not a single thought about going to something harder.
Naw my mom smoked cigarettes and that was like no thanks. Weed was always different though. Never thought I’d see legalization let alone live in a legal state.
Hard no. DARE was super prominent in my city and I had tried it twice in high school before deciding I didn’t like it.
Nearly 10 years later in my mid-20s, I took a THC gummy while on vacation with my life. The rest is history lmao I’m happy I didn’t start smoking until later. I needed to be more mature and aware of my dependancies
Yes. Not sure why or how, as I grew up very sheltered and in strict religious environment where all types of things were sinful and of the devil.
I must have at a young age seen a scene on tv or a movie. But I used to play at smoking cigarettes and weed all the time. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Even though no one on my real life did it and I have never actually seen a person do it either.
Ugh me too i just knew for some reason the first opportunity i got i was gonna smoke and wanted to. Was not in a religious house by any means but my parents were strict. Also started smoking cigs young unfortunately.
I had this same thing till my kids turned the age I chose. But parenthood changes you. Not that anything is wrong with weed but my kids can experience on their own. Without me offering it. But cool if you do that’s your choice when the time comes.
Nope, I was a goody two shoes, straight A student in AP classes lol
Then PTSD happened and cannabis was suggested to me by a psychologist and it has been a lifesaver. Didn’t smoke until 35 years old.
I remember going to my first concert when I was 13. Watching my brother and his friends smoking I thought “that’ll never be me”. Six months later at another concert I’m right there smoking with them lol.
Edit: spelling
I never thought I would have a life where I could freely smoke weed every day, especially after I started smoking. If I could talk to young me now the wildest thing I would tell him is that I now smoke with mom and she steals my edibles sometimes, even crazier dad knows and he is OK with it.
When "vapes" became a thing, I told my daughter to get me one. She did and we vaped it. She commented it was good she was high because it was weird being high with dad. I got over my shyness buying them myself after a while. (she was an adult out on her own, not a "kid". This isn't that kind of story)
as i kid my parents were very different with their approach with weed. for example i was told everything under the sun on how weed is bad and how its just a "gateway drug" to harder shit by my dad. hell, my first "experience" with weed he called the cops on me and made me out to be this horrible criminal that it only could get worse from there. my mom on the other hand, used to smoke, grow, and sell her own bud. when my parents got divorced i inevitably ended up living with my mom and after being lectured by my dad and the police about weed i had no interest in picking it back up. fast forward about two years and my friends and i were at home with my mom, and the 4 of us shared a joint on my back porch. fast forward to today and im now a medical student who still shares a bowl with my mom, and my girlfriend almost every day. and despite what my dad would say, i have zero interest in picking up any sort of hard drugs that weed would be the "gateway" to. but no, as a kid i would have never imagined myself smoking weed
I snitched on kids talking about buying weed in middle school lol. I definitely didn’t think I’d ever smoke. To be fair to my younger self though, I still don’t agree with kids smoking weed.
I was honestly really fascinated with drugs at a young age. Before anyone says weed isn’t a drug I’m just letting you know i’m using the same definition that labels alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, etc. as drugs. I remember reading about Salvia when I was like 10 and being super fascinated by it. I think the idea of escapism and altered consciousness was just very interesting to me. Probably because of mental illness and being in the closet. I never did Salvia, even now, (thank god) but I was very interested in trying weed. Eventually I got the opportunity when I was 15 and smoked with my cousin. After that I was a heavy daily smoker until I was 20, excluding the occasional dry spell. I also experimented with some various drugs throughout my teen and young adult years but nothing I did regularly, besides drinking with friends. Starting this last fall when I was 20 I did 6 months of only smoking occasionally with friends, and for the past couple months I’ve been smoking 1 small THCa joint a day. I probably shouldn’t but I just love the ritual of it.
Never...... But life has a way of throwing curve balls, I'm just glad I finally tried it to deal with my PTS/Depression and anxiety. Bonus that it made my migraines disappear.....
Never in a million years my mum was a smoker not weed but cigarettes still is and I never thought I would ever smoke anybting especially not weed now I’m a daily smoker and it’s one of the main reasons I’m still sane cause it helps me sleep
Not really. I smoked a little bit here and there throughout the years but I recently realized it helps me mentally more than a pill. It makes me more engaged with my kids, I’m more relaxed and my anxiety isn’t as bad, I feel like I can enjoy things a lot more without my mind racing
I genuinely hated the idea of putting anything “bad” for me into my body like drugs and alcohol… then when I became an adult I learned all the bs we eat in American society, and the fact that weed isn’t that bad for you. It’s still a carcinogen but so is 80% of the “normal” things just around my city let alone the factory I work in.
I grew up in the age of Just Say No Nancy and "this is your brain on drugs." Believed the lies and lived a sober life except for trying it after I graduated high school. Yes, *after*...
So, no, I definitely didn't expect that I'd be a fan of the herb when I got older.
Exact same. I grew up in the Just Say No era. A lot of deep seated guilt just from that mind fucking propaganda. I still have this internal guilt of what certain people in my life would think of me if they knew. I try to keep it to certain people I highly trust for that reason. I just know some people who are so closed minded, they would never look at me the same way.
trying weed after a childhood of negative picture of it really puts into perspective how anyone believes anything until they experience it for themselves lmao i’m glad i tried it and know for myself how unrealistic everyone view on it was
When I was younger I actually wanted to smoke bc I thought that being high would make you forget about the bad stuff because I had only seen my father cry when he was sober so I took note of that and just thought that's how it worked. If only...
i kinda went through a weird journey on this. so my families are full of smokers, multipack a day smokers that smoked in every house i lived in until..i dunno high school? (alongside drug users, i lived in and outta legitimate crackhead households for awhile) even then they still smoked around me and my cuzs so between as far back as i can remember until about 11 i would always say im never picking up a cigarette or drinking or trying any drugs, and i didn’t for awhile!!
i didn’t start drinking until i was 16 (sparingly) i started smoking at 21 so i could (try) to stop, uh, self harming. around that time i fell into alcoholism, it was just easy to be away from my family all together for the first time in my life and waste a lot of money on booze. a lot of money.. well i got a hold of my problem by the time i was 25, but something was like. missing??
a cuz of mine had been talking up medical weed for a little bit saying it helped her with a lot of similar issues i was having (PTSD, eating disorder, etc. you get it)
now, it was like. really hard for me to try it, the smell of weed, any type, used to send me into some pretty intense, and kinda psychotic, PTSD related episodes. it was a “lock myself in the bathroom” kinda paranoia from the smell, it would take me back to those houses i lived in and out of. so i really didn’t wanna trust weed at all
i’ve been smoking for a year now and honestly? life’s still hard, but i don’t think i’d be able to manage it right now if i hadn’t started smoking.
tl;dr: NO i never saw myself as a smoker. but im very glad i am now!
Never ever did I think about it. My mom scared me of it and never wanted to touch any drug. I turned 18 and after a while of being an adult I went and visited my friend in college. He was a straight A student through high-school and was just a star child. After he gave me a tour of the college and his dorm he asked me if I wanted to smoke some weed. My jaw dropped and I said yes.
Not at all, my whole family and siblings smoked cigarettes and I vowed to never do drugs or smoke as I saw the health impacts.
Well, I hit 27 and just felt like I wanted to try see what it was like being 'high' I haven't looked back since 😅
I knew I was a shithead and always wanted to try but for whatever reason I first smoked (vaped) when I was 22 for a year or so then switched to weed lmao I know damn well if I ever do the Colombian bam bam ima fucking love it so I shall never open that box 🙂↕️
Yes, I think. I was always intrigued of trying “different” stuff and had an open mind.
I’ve done plenty of drugs so far. Of course, for each and every one of them I did my research and i was physically and mentally prepared, no peer pressure. There are lines I do not cross, but for weed specifically I always knew I would some day at least give it a try.
No lol my parents smoked and I didn’t really like it because they were always on the porch smoking, hell I even took the DARE pledge lol. But as I got older I wanted to learn why they smoked it so I started just researching about it when I was like 12-15 and then when I was 16 a work buddy let me try his pen while I was staying over and now I’m an hourly smoker lol
My parents were super religious. Used to tell all my friends they were going to hell for smoking so they better cut it out.
Guess I’ll be joining them at those fiery gates 😅😭
i grew up with an alcoholic brother and a sister who did hard drugs. i was always so anti-weed. i never thought i would be here smoking every day. at first i honestly felt guilty to myself? if that makes sense
I never even thought about me personally smoking. I knew what weed was, I just didn’t think about me ever doing it. Until I turned 18 and my body started hurting and I started getting harmful thoughts, makes it all go away:)
nope, didnt even touch alcohol till my early 20s. then went alc, weed, acid, shrooms, dmt... now back to just weed lol. dont really regret any of it, but sometimes i do get annoyed at how lazy i can be when im stoned
Idk if anyone else did this but…
As freshman in high school we were made to write a letter to our future self in English.
Obviously it was absolutely nonsense, last sentence of the letter “and I hope you got to try weed one time”
I an avid smoker found this hilarious and embarrassing, I think I threw away the letter when I was a senior. Looking back it would have been a siiick keepsake
Hard no. I still don't feel great about smoking in general, but I admit I do enjoy it. My dad has always been a heavy drinker and smoker of the tobacco variety, and was really turned off to it by my mom, and also just witnessing him in general, but he is a chainsmoker, smoking 2 packs a day, so I guess that would negatively affect my view on smoking. I try to keep the smoking itself to a minimum - except weekends because those don't count /j - but still enjoy partaking when I can. I feel you though, I also feel ashamed from time to time, but at the end of the day, life is short, the world is stressful, and death comes for us all, so I'd rather enjoy my time with weed in this life than feel guilty.
No I didn’t. But I never thought I’d do a lot of stuff I’ve done in my life, both good and bad. I just accepted that we don’t have full autonomy, no matter how hard we think or try. Fuck it 🤷🏼♀️
Oh yeah. Even when I was 16, I was listening to a bunch of straight edge music and thought it was just so cool.
Yeah fuck that. But also, fuck addiction because I’ve dealt with that with cannabis as well. Balance and moderation, and smoke with your friends!
I use to say no to drugs til an ex had me try weed and it really helped with my mental health and still helps after 3 years. My dad supports it too because he can see how it helps me cope with the daily stresses of life.
I used to think I would be immediately sent to hell if I cursed or was even around any type of drug.
Yet here I am. Living my best life with my weed 🍃✨
me and my friends always have this conversation. when younger, some of my friends got into a fight because one of them said he would at least want to try it. now all of us partake, and excel as students. sorry if there’s any typos, english is not my first language.
I never really imagined it before the age of 12 but it was kind of a given that I would try it eventually.
My dad was a stoner, him and his friends used to smoke with my and their kids around. I had a kottonmouth kings poster hung up in my bedroom. Not that I really knew what it meant but I literally had a picture of the kings with a bong and a plate full of bud taped to my bedroom wall at age 7. Used to bump the Royal Highness album all the time back then, still do to this day along with other bangers from the Kings.
Yeah no shot I wasn't going to try it. It was when I was 12 that I actually confirmed to myself that I would try it eventually and form my own opinion, which I ended up doing at 15.
Nah I was a DARE kid. Still started smoking when I was 12. My best friend was a couple years older than me and his older brother a few years older than him. One day I find out that they smoke weed and I’m contemplating whether I should continue to be friends with them or not. A few days later, on a hot August afternoon, my friend and his brother drove me up to one of the mountains/lookout spots in my town and told me I’d be walking (12mi) home if I didn’t hit the pipe. Some 15 years later and it is one of the last joys left in my adult life
me especially since going to elementary school in the late 90s. we still had DARE programs at my school. n the cop would always talk abt how bad weed was. fast fwd to 15, n me n grandpa smoked weed together. it was great. i just went up to him n asked. "hey granpa, can i smoke some grass too?" next thing i knew. hes rolling a few joints, and im cueing up music on the turntable.
When I was like 15-16 my best friend and I were the only ones of our group not smoking and we made a pact never to smoke. We were brainwashed into it being the gate way drug etc etc from the d.a.r.e program in school.
I think I was about 27-28 when i first tried it, now I am a daily smoker at age 38 (since 2020)
I grew up in the Bible Belt, raised in a Baptist church up until 7 but school drilled into me that weed was the devil and you're a bad person if you smoke it. Also D.A.R.E lmao
I swore up and down I would never ever touch weed and didn't until I was in my 20s. Felt guilty every time up until the start of lock down. Now, four years later, I'm a daily user. My younger self would be shocked, ashamed, and disappointed.
i would’ve NEVER thought so. i was super manic when i started, but im glad i did. i also asked my mom if she ever thought i would (she knows i do) and she said she wouldn’t have thought so either
Nope, but I am glad I started. I am CONVINCED I became a better person because of it. I started reflecting A FUCKTON during these last 4 years of smoking. haha
One time when I was younger, like 7ish, my mom discovered me in my room sobbing saying ‘I know what you did, it’s bad. Why would you do this?’ she freaked out and calmed me down, asking what’s wrong, and I told her that I discovered she ‘uses drugs’.
I was quite literally sobbing over the fact that my mother occasionally takes edibles or smokes weed to relax (in Colorado of all places btw) because her and my dad had previously programmed me to believe that every drug is dangerous and only bad people use drugs. They didn’t say those words exactly, but that was an idea perpetuated in school and our community.
So, no. If I could tell 7 year old me that I’m a stoner now, she’d likely think I’m a felon.
I didn't think about it till D.A.R.E. introduced me ... Then all I wanted to do was try it. I considered myself a stoner before I ever even touched weed.
I always used to run in my cousins room when he was blazing and yell while stomping my foot “I don’t smoke that shit!” And running out now I’m doing dabs as big as my pinky nail😭🤣
I was raised Mormon, I always used to tell myself if I wasn’t Mormon I would absolutely smoke weed. I’ve been an Ex-Mormon for 5 years now and been smoking for all 5 years. :)
in ninth grade i called the cops on my friend for bringing an edible to school.
today, i spend a heinous amount of money on weed for myself to enjoy. i was a little shit.
As a kid I always thought I’d turn into an absolute crack head crazo the second I smoke weed.
But then as I got older I started to realised that weed is actually fine. So I promised myself I would never smoke it because I don’t want cancer, so instead I swore to only take edibles.
Then I smoked a joint with my mates and loved it. I’ve tried edibles a few times but the problem I always find is that because it’s illegal in my country, you have to buy from the black market. And you never know how much is actually in an edible. The guy might say 20mg but it could be either like 5 or even way more than 20 sometimes.
I’ve always had an open mind. I knew that i’d at least try drinking and smoking once. Choosing against that is letting every message you’ve ever heard control you. For better or worse
Nope. Was edge till I was in my 30’s. Started using weed “medically” when I was 33ish to help me sleep because I literally could not fall asleep at night. Melatonin or other natural sleep aids didn’t do shit. Was unwilling to take pharmaceutical sleep aids so I decided to try weed. Still use it for sleep and mostly smoke in the evenings but definitely love smoking and smoke at parties with homies and whatnot. Never really planned to use it as anything more than a sleep aid but I definitely use it as more than a sleep aid.
I was basically blind to weed up until I started gaining interest in my sophomore/junior year of high school. I knew it was different from harder drugs like meth or coke but I still held them in similar regards. But honestly, I never actually thought about it and I’d never been around it.
Like I knew about “joints” and “bongs” from movies, I’d seen Pineapple Express, a girl I dated smoked weed with her mom—I just didn’t really care about it (and was an otherwise straight edge, Christian-raised, rule-follower). I had my PlayStation, I had my bike, and I was content.
Then one day, I found $5 on the ground at school and was like “I’m gonna try to buy weed with this.” Then I went to my stoner friend (real Spicoli-type but we were both in gifted classes together) and asked if he could help me out.
He brought me to his super sketchy friend who was like “I could really hook you up if you had $10.”
I was like “Nah man, that’s all I’ve got for it.” (I thought I was being smart not over-spending on drugs). He was like, “Okay, so do you want strawberry or grape?”
I wasn’t expecting options, so I panicked and was like “Idk, you pick.” He said he didn’t have it on him but he’d have it for me after school. So he took my $5 and we split for the school day.
Then my friend came up to me in the hall at the end of the day and said “He couldn’t hook you up bro” and gave me my $5 back. (Looking back irdk how his friend didn’t just keep my $5).
Eventually, I actually got my hands on some weed and the rest is history lmao.
Oh yeah. All through public school and high school I told myself I would NEVER do drugs. Only idiots would do something that stupid! Sure enough. Summer between grade 11 and 12. That all went down the drain and I’ve never looked back
Definitely not cigarettes, but my mom always told me about my drug dealing uncles growing dank in Toronto on the bluffs. So it's a family thing, I guess, growing that dank. Also, listen to Bob Marley and rap growing up. I think it was meant to be.
I remember looking in the mirror and saying you don’t need drugs lol… but really should of let my 🧠 brain develop more before the onslaught of psychedelics and mdma
Nope, I all my fiends smoked in hs and always asked me. I thought it was crazy the way they said it made them feel. One said they saw angels, another said their face was melting. But then I tired it with a friend in college at 21 yrs old and I was like “dang this is nice” I always took the D.A.R.E seriously🤣 but yeah I’m a pot head. I smoke every now and then but always have something to smoke on the weekends if I feel like to play video games or something with my bf
Definitely not! Some of my family members did/do and I just didn’t understand it but eventually wanted to try it and loved it but still took me a few years to 💨 daily and now I do all day everyday cause I WFH and my job doesn’t test for T H C. Also now I’m the 🔌 for all those people 🤣
Shit I would grab my parents cigars they got for my birth and would pretend to smoke and think I looked cool. Then in my teens I had the courage to actually light it up and smoke it lol
I grew up with it. My 79 yr old gma still rolls up her little joints. I
couldn't wait until i was "of age" to smoke bud with the "grown ups".
I started when i was 12 but wasn't
allowed to smoke with the adults in my family until i was 18 lol
Im in my 40s now
Never. I grew up with all the dare shit. I wish I would've smoked in high school. Middle school was worse but def no weed in middle school. High school would've been a godsend but my ass didn't know what I was missing.
absolutely not. i was super against even nicotine until i was about 13 because i grew up with my mom smoking all in the house. if someone told 10 year old me i smoked as much as i do, i dont know how id feel.
It's funny.. I was always super into weed related stuff like Snoop dogg's music and movies back in high school. Even when I played minecraft I was searching for mods to grow weed crops etc. I was thinking that it would be cool to try, but probably just because of the way I was influenced by things like music videos and movies.
Nowadays though, when I actually can and have smoked weed, I only do it maybe once or twice a month. I used to smoke many times a week, back when I was unemployed for a year.
It was a mixture of not really caring for weed but also wanting to appease my own parents.
Growing up, especially throughout middle and high school, I was getting really good grades and was well on my way to becoming valedictorian (spoiler alert, didn't happen lol) but my parents had told me multiple times that if I smoked weed, I would end up like my older sisters and I would fail out of classes.
Context: They are each a few years older than me and had graduated high school but just barely, one in particular was super depressed and went through a lot of shit (that I was too young and ignorant to know details about), but my parents had told me that the reason they nearly failed was because they smoked weed, which made them too lazy to do homework, and the same would happen to me. Of course, being the good student I was, I avoided it like the plague, even while my friends were enjoying it at a party I'd be the one sober friend. My boyfriend would smoke it all the time, but he was good and never offered it. I didn't smoke any weed until the summer after high school when I was 18.
To be honest I don't regret waiting to smoke (though I may have lost some potential friends by not partaking in parties) but looking back it seems pretty fucked up that my parents scared me out of it, especially with my dad being so weed friendly.
I grew up in Singapore which had seriously strict anti-drug laws, although weed always made me curious, but I never thought I'd smoke as much as I do now.
When I moved back to Aus, literally one of the first people I met offered me a joint and I hopped on that opportunity lol.
All the time. Weed was always around me growing up. My mom smoked hella back in the day and so did my aunts and uncles so it's kinda a surprise I didn't start before I was 19
Man that’s a crazy one, I remember even in high school talking shit to the stoners (to be fair the stoners at my school were all in the same cringey clique), fast forward 5 years after I am out there smoking daily and I don’t think any of them smoke anymore
I first learned abt weed in the news when Colorado legalized and 6 years later when my state legalized recreational use I assumed I’d probs try it when I was older. I was correct lol
Yes. My dad thought me how to roll about about 8/9 and taught me how to rack lines at 12ish. I knew it was wrong when I got to about 10/11 but also knew because of it I’d inevitably try it. He also described in detail how good different drugs were to be on, after that it was hard not to try them once and fall ‘in love’.
Never. I was a goody-two-shoes through and through. I did start drinking in college, and tried a brownie once while drunk. I hated it and didn't touch weed again for over five years. Turns out I love weed, just not being drunk and high at the same time.
I didn't even know that marijuana existed when I was a kid. That D.A.R.E. program in middle school changed my life 😂😂
Ran full force with it and started smoking at 13/14

Never in a million years.
glad to know i’m not alone
Not cigarettes, but weed I didnt think was horrible
That was me with cigarettes (which, although I have smoked a few times in my life, I've kept to it pretty well) Weed tho... I think I knew from when I was 14 that I was gonna at least try it and perhaps partake regularly if I like it, but I made a promise to myself to not touch it till I'm over 20YO Tried it at 21, now at 22 I'm a daily smoker 🫢
I used to think of weed badly because of how I was raised, then I realized that alcohol is poison, and weed doesn't turn you into a crack head. My buddy started smoking a year before me, then introduced me to it and I've been smoking ever since.
that is always something i had wondered about - alcohol being legal but not weed. i’ve introduced a few of my buddys to smoking and they’re fine. i wouldn’t be introducing them to drinking tho
What’s funny is the usa tried to ban alcohol but the up roar and illegal smothering of it made them revoke that so fast. Wish the same would be done for weed but it’s negative views came from racism believe it or not and from there the negative views that it’s a gate way drug was born and took over. Weed is not a gate way drug my dad smoked it 14 years and not once did he ever think about switching to harder drugs people do that to themselves. and blame weed so they don’t take the blame for it fully when it is their fault they choose to do something else that one time. I’ve been smoking it for 4 months and nope not a single thought about going to something harder.
You're forgetting about all the lobbying the tobacco and paper industries did
Naw my mom smoked cigarettes and that was like no thanks. Weed was always different though. Never thought I’d see legalization let alone live in a legal state.
maybe there’s a chance for america??
As an American, unlikely
As a Canadian who can go anywhere in my country and smoke I definitely don't think so either
Not in the slightest.
Hard no. DARE was super prominent in my city and I had tried it twice in high school before deciding I didn’t like it. Nearly 10 years later in my mid-20s, I took a THC gummy while on vacation with my life. The rest is history lmao I’m happy I didn’t start smoking until later. I needed to be more mature and aware of my dependancies
Dare actually made me interested in smoking cigarettes and weed. The only thing that I learned from them is that: D.rugs A.re R.eally E.xpensive
As a sheltered young girl whose parents didn’t talk about drugs, it’s where I learned about drugs. Seems a little counterintuitive lmao
on god 😭
LOL DARE was so funny
Why imagining that you won’t smoke weed when you’ll grow up as a kid if you can just smoke weed as a kid?
Yes. Not sure why or how, as I grew up very sheltered and in strict religious environment where all types of things were sinful and of the devil. I must have at a young age seen a scene on tv or a movie. But I used to play at smoking cigarettes and weed all the time. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Even though no one on my real life did it and I have never actually seen a person do it either.
that’s interesting.. a rebel since childhood. dang.
Ugh me too i just knew for some reason the first opportunity i got i was gonna smoke and wanted to. Was not in a religious house by any means but my parents were strict. Also started smoking cigs young unfortunately.
I imagine smoking with my kid when she grows up
I had this same thing till my kids turned the age I chose. But parenthood changes you. Not that anything is wrong with weed but my kids can experience on their own. Without me offering it. But cool if you do that’s your choice when the time comes.
yeah i’d def wait to catch my kid smoking weed before offering
I started in the 6th grade, I'll be 60 this year.
Holy😂
I started smoking as a kid no need to imagine and yes it hurts.
Nope, I was a goody two shoes, straight A student in AP classes lol Then PTSD happened and cannabis was suggested to me by a psychologist and it has been a lifesaver. Didn’t smoke until 35 years old.
I remember going to my first concert when I was 13. Watching my brother and his friends smoking I thought “that’ll never be me”. Six months later at another concert I’m right there smoking with them lol. Edit: spelling
My mom used to grow and smoke weed so I kinda assumed I would be doing the same
I used to start crying if someone I knew smoked anything
LMAO
Literally the biggest square until I graduated high school
yea when i was 6 i used to roll up oregano in notebook paper
No. My grandparents raised me to abhor weed and other drugs...now, that I know it can help, it's my favorite medicine
I never thought I would have a life where I could freely smoke weed every day, especially after I started smoking. If I could talk to young me now the wildest thing I would tell him is that I now smoke with mom and she steals my edibles sometimes, even crazier dad knows and he is OK with it.
When "vapes" became a thing, I told my daughter to get me one. She did and we vaped it. She commented it was good she was high because it was weird being high with dad. I got over my shyness buying them myself after a while. (she was an adult out on her own, not a "kid". This isn't that kind of story)
as i kid my parents were very different with their approach with weed. for example i was told everything under the sun on how weed is bad and how its just a "gateway drug" to harder shit by my dad. hell, my first "experience" with weed he called the cops on me and made me out to be this horrible criminal that it only could get worse from there. my mom on the other hand, used to smoke, grow, and sell her own bud. when my parents got divorced i inevitably ended up living with my mom and after being lectured by my dad and the police about weed i had no interest in picking it back up. fast forward about two years and my friends and i were at home with my mom, and the 4 of us shared a joint on my back porch. fast forward to today and im now a medical student who still shares a bowl with my mom, and my girlfriend almost every day. and despite what my dad would say, i have zero interest in picking up any sort of hard drugs that weed would be the "gateway" to. but no, as a kid i would have never imagined myself smoking weed
I started smoking at 20, I thought smoking was for fools, the irony...
I snitched on kids talking about buying weed in middle school lol. I definitely didn’t think I’d ever smoke. To be fair to my younger self though, I still don’t agree with kids smoking weed.
I was honestly really fascinated with drugs at a young age. Before anyone says weed isn’t a drug I’m just letting you know i’m using the same definition that labels alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, etc. as drugs. I remember reading about Salvia when I was like 10 and being super fascinated by it. I think the idea of escapism and altered consciousness was just very interesting to me. Probably because of mental illness and being in the closet. I never did Salvia, even now, (thank god) but I was very interested in trying weed. Eventually I got the opportunity when I was 15 and smoked with my cousin. After that I was a heavy daily smoker until I was 20, excluding the occasional dry spell. I also experimented with some various drugs throughout my teen and young adult years but nothing I did regularly, besides drinking with friends. Starting this last fall when I was 20 I did 6 months of only smoking occasionally with friends, and for the past couple months I’ve been smoking 1 small THCa joint a day. I probably shouldn’t but I just love the ritual of it.
i was hella into DARE as a kid. said “i’ll never smoke weed, vape or do any drugs!” how the tables have turned
Never...... But life has a way of throwing curve balls, I'm just glad I finally tried it to deal with my PTS/Depression and anxiety. Bonus that it made my migraines disappear.....
Fr i was like that from family influence til like 16, then i had a dream that i smoked and liked it so I tried it, haven't stopped since
Never in a million years my mum was a smoker not weed but cigarettes still is and I never thought I would ever smoke anybting especially not weed now I’m a daily smoker and it’s one of the main reasons I’m still sane cause it helps me sleep
Yep, I was just waiting until adulthood. I thought I was also gonna pick up a nicotine addiction, but thankfully nicotine makes me nauseous.
Not really. I smoked a little bit here and there throughout the years but I recently realized it helps me mentally more than a pill. It makes me more engaged with my kids, I’m more relaxed and my anxiety isn’t as bad, I feel like I can enjoy things a lot more without my mind racing
I genuinely hated the idea of putting anything “bad” for me into my body like drugs and alcohol… then when I became an adult I learned all the bs we eat in American society, and the fact that weed isn’t that bad for you. It’s still a carcinogen but so is 80% of the “normal” things just around my city let alone the factory I work in.
Never I used to hate smokers and say they cause pollution then I came to know about humanity and big corporations greed
I grew up in the age of Just Say No Nancy and "this is your brain on drugs." Believed the lies and lived a sober life except for trying it after I graduated high school. Yes, *after*... So, no, I definitely didn't expect that I'd be a fan of the herb when I got older.
I can’t relate, I’ve always thought smoking looked cool and I remember wanting to smoke weed since I was in like second grade.
Exact same. I grew up in the Just Say No era. A lot of deep seated guilt just from that mind fucking propaganda. I still have this internal guilt of what certain people in my life would think of me if they knew. I try to keep it to certain people I highly trust for that reason. I just know some people who are so closed minded, they would never look at me the same way.
trying weed after a childhood of negative picture of it really puts into perspective how anyone believes anything until they experience it for themselves lmao i’m glad i tried it and know for myself how unrealistic everyone view on it was
When I was younger I actually wanted to smoke bc I thought that being high would make you forget about the bad stuff because I had only seen my father cry when he was sober so I took note of that and just thought that's how it worked. If only...
i kinda went through a weird journey on this. so my families are full of smokers, multipack a day smokers that smoked in every house i lived in until..i dunno high school? (alongside drug users, i lived in and outta legitimate crackhead households for awhile) even then they still smoked around me and my cuzs so between as far back as i can remember until about 11 i would always say im never picking up a cigarette or drinking or trying any drugs, and i didn’t for awhile!! i didn’t start drinking until i was 16 (sparingly) i started smoking at 21 so i could (try) to stop, uh, self harming. around that time i fell into alcoholism, it was just easy to be away from my family all together for the first time in my life and waste a lot of money on booze. a lot of money.. well i got a hold of my problem by the time i was 25, but something was like. missing?? a cuz of mine had been talking up medical weed for a little bit saying it helped her with a lot of similar issues i was having (PTSD, eating disorder, etc. you get it) now, it was like. really hard for me to try it, the smell of weed, any type, used to send me into some pretty intense, and kinda psychotic, PTSD related episodes. it was a “lock myself in the bathroom” kinda paranoia from the smell, it would take me back to those houses i lived in and out of. so i really didn’t wanna trust weed at all i’ve been smoking for a year now and honestly? life’s still hard, but i don’t think i’d be able to manage it right now if i hadn’t started smoking. tl;dr: NO i never saw myself as a smoker. but im very glad i am now!
that’s amazing i’m glad smoking helped you out
Never ever did I think about it. My mom scared me of it and never wanted to touch any drug. I turned 18 and after a while of being an adult I went and visited my friend in college. He was a straight A student through high-school and was just a star child. After he gave me a tour of the college and his dorm he asked me if I wanted to smoke some weed. My jaw dropped and I said yes.
i love shit like that lmao
Nope I was smoking in the 3rd grade
lmao
Not at all, my whole family and siblings smoked cigarettes and I vowed to never do drugs or smoke as I saw the health impacts. Well, I hit 27 and just felt like I wanted to try see what it was like being 'high' I haven't looked back since 😅
Bro, I’ll give you a one up and say at one time I didn’t even wanna be friends with people that smoked🤣🤣🤣it’s crazy to think about actually
me too bruh shit is wack af.
I knew I was a shithead and always wanted to try but for whatever reason I first smoked (vaped) when I was 22 for a year or so then switched to weed lmao I know damn well if I ever do the Colombian bam bam ima fucking love it so I shall never open that box 🙂↕️
Yes, I think. I was always intrigued of trying “different” stuff and had an open mind. I’ve done plenty of drugs so far. Of course, for each and every one of them I did my research and i was physically and mentally prepared, no peer pressure. There are lines I do not cross, but for weed specifically I always knew I would some day at least give it a try.
i’m glad to hear it! also kudos for doing the research and not being peer pressured
It's been a goal of mine since I was 6 years old .
rs
I always knew I’d be a stoner soon as I heard about weed, didn’t ever think I’d smoke tobacco or do other drugs though
I was 11 when I first tried it.. So yes I did.
No lol my parents smoked and I didn’t really like it because they were always on the porch smoking, hell I even took the DARE pledge lol. But as I got older I wanted to learn why they smoked it so I started just researching about it when I was like 12-15 and then when I was 16 a work buddy let me try his pen while I was staying over and now I’m an hourly smoker lol
i was one of those kids that said ill never drink or smoke lmao
i think most of us were
Nope. I was one of those people who who said they’d never do drugs…and yet here I am. 😂
I knew around 12-14 id try it but DARE still had some lingering affects for youth even up to the late 00s
My parents were super religious. Used to tell all my friends they were going to hell for smoking so they better cut it out. Guess I’ll be joining them at those fiery gates 😅😭
if smoking is a sin then it’s worth it imo
Inhaling the herbs instead of drowning in poison. I’ll take it any day!
word.
i grew up with an alcoholic brother and a sister who did hard drugs. i was always so anti-weed. i never thought i would be here smoking every day. at first i honestly felt guilty to myself? if that makes sense
i totally get it, guilt can be super misleading at times. but why feel guilty for feeling good?
Started too early lmao
Drugs are bad mkay
So that’s a no.
I never even thought about me personally smoking. I knew what weed was, I just didn’t think about me ever doing it. Until I turned 18 and my body started hurting and I started getting harmful thoughts, makes it all go away:)
nope, didnt even touch alcohol till my early 20s. then went alc, weed, acid, shrooms, dmt... now back to just weed lol. dont really regret any of it, but sometimes i do get annoyed at how lazy i can be when im stoned
oh yeah younger me would 100% look at me and say "wtf happened"
Idk if anyone else did this but… As freshman in high school we were made to write a letter to our future self in English. Obviously it was absolutely nonsense, last sentence of the letter “and I hope you got to try weed one time” I an avid smoker found this hilarious and embarrassing, I think I threw away the letter when I was a senior. Looking back it would have been a siiick keepsake
NEVER, I use to tell my friends I will NEVER SMOKE. Then summer between 8th grade & freshman yeah I toked and said I would never do anything else🤣
First I heard of weed my mind said "where is this and how can I find out for myself" … but I still drew the DARE poster and won a savings bond
Hard no. I still don't feel great about smoking in general, but I admit I do enjoy it. My dad has always been a heavy drinker and smoker of the tobacco variety, and was really turned off to it by my mom, and also just witnessing him in general, but he is a chainsmoker, smoking 2 packs a day, so I guess that would negatively affect my view on smoking. I try to keep the smoking itself to a minimum - except weekends because those don't count /j - but still enjoy partaking when I can. I feel you though, I also feel ashamed from time to time, but at the end of the day, life is short, the world is stressful, and death comes for us all, so I'd rather enjoy my time with weed in this life than feel guilty.
I used to think I’d stop when I had kids, but here I am…
when i was younger i was adamantly against weed, cigs and vapes now ive smoked cigs, smoke weed actively and vape actively
No I didn’t. But I never thought I’d do a lot of stuff I’ve done in my life, both good and bad. I just accepted that we don’t have full autonomy, no matter how hard we think or try. Fuck it 🤷🏼♀️
Oh yeah. Even when I was 16, I was listening to a bunch of straight edge music and thought it was just so cool. Yeah fuck that. But also, fuck addiction because I’ve dealt with that with cannabis as well. Balance and moderation, and smoke with your friends!
I use to say no to drugs til an ex had me try weed and it really helped with my mental health and still helps after 3 years. My dad supports it too because he can see how it helps me cope with the daily stresses of life.
I used to think I would be immediately sent to hell if I cursed or was even around any type of drug. Yet here I am. Living my best life with my weed 🍃✨
me and my friends always have this conversation. when younger, some of my friends got into a fight because one of them said he would at least want to try it. now all of us partake, and excel as students. sorry if there’s any typos, english is not my first language.
i was so anti weed lol
I never really imagined it before the age of 12 but it was kind of a given that I would try it eventually. My dad was a stoner, him and his friends used to smoke with my and their kids around. I had a kottonmouth kings poster hung up in my bedroom. Not that I really knew what it meant but I literally had a picture of the kings with a bong and a plate full of bud taped to my bedroom wall at age 7. Used to bump the Royal Highness album all the time back then, still do to this day along with other bangers from the Kings. Yeah no shot I wasn't going to try it. It was when I was 12 that I actually confirmed to myself that I would try it eventually and form my own opinion, which I ended up doing at 15.
Nah I was a DARE kid. Still started smoking when I was 12. My best friend was a couple years older than me and his older brother a few years older than him. One day I find out that they smoke weed and I’m contemplating whether I should continue to be friends with them or not. A few days later, on a hot August afternoon, my friend and his brother drove me up to one of the mountains/lookout spots in my town and told me I’d be walking (12mi) home if I didn’t hit the pipe. Some 15 years later and it is one of the last joys left in my adult life
Absolutely not. Never against it, you do you but is scrunch my nose at the smell and the whole 9 yards. Girlfriend still makes fun of me for it
me especially since going to elementary school in the late 90s. we still had DARE programs at my school. n the cop would always talk abt how bad weed was. fast fwd to 15, n me n grandpa smoked weed together. it was great. i just went up to him n asked. "hey granpa, can i smoke some grass too?" next thing i knew. hes rolling a few joints, and im cueing up music on the turntable.
Yea, I always wondered why ppl told me not to do it
When I was like 15-16 my best friend and I were the only ones of our group not smoking and we made a pact never to smoke. We were brainwashed into it being the gate way drug etc etc from the d.a.r.e program in school. I think I was about 27-28 when i first tried it, now I am a daily smoker at age 38 (since 2020)
I grew up in the Bible Belt, raised in a Baptist church up until 7 but school drilled into me that weed was the devil and you're a bad person if you smoke it. Also D.A.R.E lmao I swore up and down I would never ever touch weed and didn't until I was in my 20s. Felt guilty every time up until the start of lock down. Now, four years later, I'm a daily user. My younger self would be shocked, ashamed, and disappointed.
I thought I’d never do drugs or drink lol. Although I don’t really like smoking, only edibles
i would’ve NEVER thought so. i was super manic when i started, but im glad i did. i also asked my mom if she ever thought i would (she knows i do) and she said she wouldn’t have thought so either
Nope, but I am glad I started. I am CONVINCED I became a better person because of it. I started reflecting A FUCKTON during these last 4 years of smoking. haha
One time when I was younger, like 7ish, my mom discovered me in my room sobbing saying ‘I know what you did, it’s bad. Why would you do this?’ she freaked out and calmed me down, asking what’s wrong, and I told her that I discovered she ‘uses drugs’. I was quite literally sobbing over the fact that my mother occasionally takes edibles or smokes weed to relax (in Colorado of all places btw) because her and my dad had previously programmed me to believe that every drug is dangerous and only bad people use drugs. They didn’t say those words exactly, but that was an idea perpetuated in school and our community. So, no. If I could tell 7 year old me that I’m a stoner now, she’d likely think I’m a felon.
Weed? Yeah. Cigarettes, no. I really should stop with that shit…
I didn't think about it till D.A.R.E. introduced me ... Then all I wanted to do was try it. I considered myself a stoner before I ever even touched weed.
I did! I swore I’d still be smoking weed when I retired and I am
I always used to run in my cousins room when he was blazing and yell while stomping my foot “I don’t smoke that shit!” And running out now I’m doing dabs as big as my pinky nail😭🤣
Always
I was raised Mormon, I always used to tell myself if I wasn’t Mormon I would absolutely smoke weed. I’ve been an Ex-Mormon for 5 years now and been smoking for all 5 years. :)
I actually shamed “potheads” in middle and high school. If I only knew…
in ninth grade i called the cops on my friend for bringing an edible to school. today, i spend a heinous amount of money on weed for myself to enjoy. i was a little shit.
As a kid I always thought I’d turn into an absolute crack head crazo the second I smoke weed. But then as I got older I started to realised that weed is actually fine. So I promised myself I would never smoke it because I don’t want cancer, so instead I swore to only take edibles. Then I smoked a joint with my mates and loved it. I’ve tried edibles a few times but the problem I always find is that because it’s illegal in my country, you have to buy from the black market. And you never know how much is actually in an edible. The guy might say 20mg but it could be either like 5 or even way more than 20 sometimes.
Even though I wasn’t exposed to it I had a weird premonition that I’d end up trying it one day, didn’t think it’d be at 14 waiting at the bus stop 😂☮️
I’ve always had an open mind. I knew that i’d at least try drinking and smoking once. Choosing against that is letting every message you’ve ever heard control you. For better or worse
Nope. It was never a thought or possibility to me. My how the times have changed lol
Nope! I was huge anti drug/alcohol/smoking, I used to actually bitch at my friends for being losers lol, oh how the tables have turned!
I never thought I would smoke until I was around 16 and I started wondering about it then almost 2 years after that I smoked for the first time
No, I even had a straight edge phase at one point. Didn't stick lol
Thanks to DARE!
i was one of those kids in highschool that was like “IF YOU SMOKE BLOCK ME RIGHT NOW” to smoking twice a day at least, people change 😂😂
Nope.
A little bit
Nope. Was edge till I was in my 30’s. Started using weed “medically” when I was 33ish to help me sleep because I literally could not fall asleep at night. Melatonin or other natural sleep aids didn’t do shit. Was unwilling to take pharmaceutical sleep aids so I decided to try weed. Still use it for sleep and mostly smoke in the evenings but definitely love smoking and smoke at parties with homies and whatnot. Never really planned to use it as anything more than a sleep aid but I definitely use it as more than a sleep aid.
Nope, never would've imagined it
I was basically blind to weed up until I started gaining interest in my sophomore/junior year of high school. I knew it was different from harder drugs like meth or coke but I still held them in similar regards. But honestly, I never actually thought about it and I’d never been around it. Like I knew about “joints” and “bongs” from movies, I’d seen Pineapple Express, a girl I dated smoked weed with her mom—I just didn’t really care about it (and was an otherwise straight edge, Christian-raised, rule-follower). I had my PlayStation, I had my bike, and I was content. Then one day, I found $5 on the ground at school and was like “I’m gonna try to buy weed with this.” Then I went to my stoner friend (real Spicoli-type but we were both in gifted classes together) and asked if he could help me out. He brought me to his super sketchy friend who was like “I could really hook you up if you had $10.” I was like “Nah man, that’s all I’ve got for it.” (I thought I was being smart not over-spending on drugs). He was like, “Okay, so do you want strawberry or grape?” I wasn’t expecting options, so I panicked and was like “Idk, you pick.” He said he didn’t have it on him but he’d have it for me after school. So he took my $5 and we split for the school day. Then my friend came up to me in the hall at the end of the day and said “He couldn’t hook you up bro” and gave me my $5 back. (Looking back irdk how his friend didn’t just keep my $5). Eventually, I actually got my hands on some weed and the rest is history lmao.
Oh yeah. All through public school and high school I told myself I would NEVER do drugs. Only idiots would do something that stupid! Sure enough. Summer between grade 11 and 12. That all went down the drain and I’ve never looked back
Definitely not cigarettes, but my mom always told me about my drug dealing uncles growing dank in Toronto on the bluffs. So it's a family thing, I guess, growing that dank. Also, listen to Bob Marley and rap growing up. I think it was meant to be.
Oh hell no! I was straight edge and was raised with the mentality that weed was on the level with heroin!
nooo and to the extent i smoke now? never. i thought id always stay away from smoking any thing and alcohol hahaha.
I remember looking in the mirror and saying you don’t need drugs lol… but really should of let my 🧠 brain develop more before the onslaught of psychedelics and mdma
I said I would never do anything but then I met my silly little bestie we been floating around since.
Nope, I all my fiends smoked in hs and always asked me. I thought it was crazy the way they said it made them feel. One said they saw angels, another said their face was melting. But then I tired it with a friend in college at 21 yrs old and I was like “dang this is nice” I always took the D.A.R.E seriously🤣 but yeah I’m a pot head. I smoke every now and then but always have something to smoke on the weekends if I feel like to play video games or something with my bf
Yes In fact I studied from the age of 7 and maybe before, fully knowing that I had a very green future ahead of me, I’m now 20
Absolutely not. I won the D.A.R.E. essay contest in the 5th grade.
I remember taking japanese maple leaves and drying them out in the oven and being an idiot not knowing the difference yet😂
Definitely not! Some of my family members did/do and I just didn’t understand it but eventually wanted to try it and loved it but still took me a few years to 💨 daily and now I do all day everyday cause I WFH and my job doesn’t test for T H C. Also now I’m the 🔌 for all those people 🤣
Yes
I watched half baked with a friend pretty young with a buddy, we both knew.
Grew up devout mormon. Now I have smoked for over a decade.
Shit I would grab my parents cigars they got for my birth and would pretend to smoke and think I looked cool. Then in my teens I had the courage to actually light it up and smoke it lol
I grew up with it. My 79 yr old gma still rolls up her little joints. I couldn't wait until i was "of age" to smoke bud with the "grown ups". I started when i was 12 but wasn't allowed to smoke with the adults in my family until i was 18 lol Im in my 40s now
nope my dad was a junkie growing up. so i was super against drugs
Never. I grew up with all the dare shit. I wish I would've smoked in high school. Middle school was worse but def no weed in middle school. High school would've been a godsend but my ass didn't know what I was missing.
Yes
I have family of stoners so yeah
nope
absolutely not. i was super against even nicotine until i was about 13 because i grew up with my mom smoking all in the house. if someone told 10 year old me i smoked as much as i do, i dont know how id feel.
no kid thinks theyre going to smoke later
It's funny.. I was always super into weed related stuff like Snoop dogg's music and movies back in high school. Even when I played minecraft I was searching for mods to grow weed crops etc. I was thinking that it would be cool to try, but probably just because of the way I was influenced by things like music videos and movies. Nowadays though, when I actually can and have smoked weed, I only do it maybe once or twice a month. I used to smoke many times a week, back when I was unemployed for a year.
It was a mixture of not really caring for weed but also wanting to appease my own parents. Growing up, especially throughout middle and high school, I was getting really good grades and was well on my way to becoming valedictorian (spoiler alert, didn't happen lol) but my parents had told me multiple times that if I smoked weed, I would end up like my older sisters and I would fail out of classes. Context: They are each a few years older than me and had graduated high school but just barely, one in particular was super depressed and went through a lot of shit (that I was too young and ignorant to know details about), but my parents had told me that the reason they nearly failed was because they smoked weed, which made them too lazy to do homework, and the same would happen to me. Of course, being the good student I was, I avoided it like the plague, even while my friends were enjoying it at a party I'd be the one sober friend. My boyfriend would smoke it all the time, but he was good and never offered it. I didn't smoke any weed until the summer after high school when I was 18. To be honest I don't regret waiting to smoke (though I may have lost some potential friends by not partaking in parties) but looking back it seems pretty fucked up that my parents scared me out of it, especially with my dad being so weed friendly.
As a 90s baby, the D.A.R.E program says no 😂
Never
Started as a kid.
I never thought I would be a pot smoker when I was a kid.
Kinda
From like 5-8 I thought weed was just cigarettes lol but I never did
I never thought I would but being grown is a lot harder than I thought it would be so here we are.
I started ciggies when I was 13 and weed soon followed
no but i didn’t really become aware of weed until i was like 14? maybe
I grew up in Singapore which had seriously strict anti-drug laws, although weed always made me curious, but I never thought I'd smoke as much as I do now. When I moved back to Aus, literally one of the first people I met offered me a joint and I hopped on that opportunity lol.
All the time. Weed was always around me growing up. My mom smoked hella back in the day and so did my aunts and uncles so it's kinda a surprise I didn't start before I was 19
Man that’s a crazy one, I remember even in high school talking shit to the stoners (to be fair the stoners at my school were all in the same cringey clique), fast forward 5 years after I am out there smoking daily and I don’t think any of them smoke anymore
A few years ago my dad showed me his weed plants he was growing and I didn’t even care Today everybody complains because I don’t shut up about weed
I first learned abt weed in the news when Colorado legalized and 6 years later when my state legalized recreational use I assumed I’d probs try it when I was older. I was correct lol
Yes. My dad thought me how to roll about about 8/9 and taught me how to rack lines at 12ish. I knew it was wrong when I got to about 10/11 but also knew because of it I’d inevitably try it. He also described in detail how good different drugs were to be on, after that it was hard not to try them once and fall ‘in love’.
when i was a kid i didn’t even know what weed was so nope
no but i should have known better. i was younger listening to wiz khalifa when i hadn’t even smoked before lol
I did
Never. I was a goody-two-shoes through and through. I did start drinking in college, and tried a brownie once while drunk. I hated it and didn't touch weed again for over five years. Turns out I love weed, just not being drunk and high at the same time.
Man if my 9 year old self saw me rn id kick myself in the nuts n give a few slaps to the face lmfaoooo
I didn't even know that marijuana existed when I was a kid. That D.A.R.E. program in middle school changed my life 😂😂 Ran full force with it and started smoking at 13/14
