I personally have no interest in trying it.

I used to, I did it and ruined my school reputation

I've done it whenever someone I knew asked me to join in when they had some. Probably about 7 or 8 times in my life. I liked it and all, but not enough to take the risk of seeking it out and possibly getting arrested in the processs. The last couple times it was offered, I knew the guys roomate was a dealer and figured with my luck the cops would pick the day I was over to raid the apartment so I turned it down. Then after he quit working where I work within 3 days the cops were at my job looking for him so I'm glad I passed. I have too much to loose now to bother with it.

What's so odd about that? I don't know how to acquire illegal drugs, either. I just don't know people that do them. I did attend a couple of parties way back when I was a freshman (this is when I learned that the whole "Greek" system in college is beyond stupid) undergrad. There was some marijuana there. But aside from the obvious (parties; clubs), I have never considered where to obtain the stuff. Nor will I. I've seen what drugs (even "harmless" ones and legal ones) do to people. I've got my caffeine addiction and that's quite enough for me.

The direction of my skepticism is in the fact that "kind bud" is a very common term in stoner circles referring to marijuana of high quality. If Kind Bud is not aware of that, then it is a very interesting coincidence, considering the topic. If he named himself that in reference to marijuana, then he would likely be a smoker, making his post a joke.

I used to smoke quite a bit, though I haven't touched it in over 10 years.

For awhile, I smoked almost every day, but that was probably due to the fact that my roommate was a big-time stoner...even had a few plants growing in the closet!

I enjoyed the feeling, and really enjoyed listening to/playing music while stoned, but I stopped about the time I stopped living with those guys.

Nowadays, I'm just too lazy to go out and find it...but if someone offered it to me, I'd probably "blaze up" for old times' sake.

I'm in the never have, never will category. The smell of it...

I did once have a bunch of people trick me into eating a "special" brownie, but I didn't notice any ill effect. (For the record, never be the only non drug-user at a vegan potluck... It just makes them want to mess with you

)

I have tried it, but like alcohol, it fails to hold my interest.

I've never smoked it, but I did ingest it within a cookie just once. Within the hour, I was baked good. This was last August.

It was a little scary, it being my first time and all. I'd like to try it again, but haven't yet had the chance to get one of those cookies from my friend again. ( He grows the weed in his backyard garden and then occasionally bakes the cookies. )

All in all, I'd like to try it again. A lot, preferably. And always responsibly and within moderation...say, once or twice a month. The heightened senses of touch and taste were one thing, but music with headphones was just too damn good. The songs seemed to never end...30-second guitar solos sounded like they went on for 5 minutes. I could individually hear, with crystal clarity, each and every instrument within the songs, and their roles within the framework of the musical notation.

By the way, I was listening to a collection of Yes songs.

Well, once I unknowingly ate such a cookie. I certainly wasn't aware of any reaction, but I wasn't looking for one, either--it was only months later I found out they were anything other than normal cookies.

Wow! Cool! I was the 100th voter!
