my first time getting high was when i was 17 (i've only been smoking for three years, i'm 20 now). i was dating bobby, this guy that i met at a party. i knew when i started dating him that he used to be a stoner in the past, and was under the impression that he had quit. this is when i was adamently against smoking - i always said that i would never smoke or even be around it. when i found out he still smoked, we had been dating for awhile, and i really liked him. i was upset, but stayed with him anyways. one night we were over at his best friend michel's place. michel, bobby, and i were hanging out, watching some aquateen, and michel left the room and when he came back, he was holding a cat in the hat bong. they both took a couple of tokes off of it, and then michel packed another bowl in it and offered it to me. so i took my first hits off of a cat in the hat bong and i coughed. a lot. but it was awesome...ever since that day i've been a toker :hippy:
