when did you start smoking?
2000 - I was 18, as well.
Who did you first start with?
I won't name names, but the KC crew knows him well. He was my Yoda. %) He first taught me the legendary Jewell 500 (driving in large circles around campus while smoking), then would later teach me things like changing the ice trays at exact four-hour intervals, and how OxyCleaning the bong may be the greatest thing ever.
Did it take you a while to decide?
No. But I didn't start enjoying it until the second time, when I decided to put on some music. And it was great. I was a drinker who occasionally smoked until 2002, when I returned from England very used to going out frequently, but still a minor in the U.S. So booze just got replaced by weed at that point.
