I was a late bloomer. I was 17 or 18 and in my second year of college. Everyone I knew smoked. Literally everyone. This was 1978 or 79 or so, and it was Austin, Texas. I was one of the rare hold-outs.

We were at a party, and everyone was drinking but no one was wasted or anything. Until that evening, I'd just said no thanks when the joints passed by. But on that particular evening, when the J circled around to me, I took a hit. The whole party practically stopped because no one could believe I'd finally taken the leap. Despite the fact that I had a bit of a risk-taking streak, I still operated in mostly good-girl mode, and I had a very straight-laced boyfriend who was very anti-grass. He wasn't there that night, though, and I was pondering breaking up with him anyway. The next person in the joint circle kept encouraging me to hang onto the joint and take a couple more hits. Which I obediently did. But, alas, I just didn't get high that first time. I was inhaling right. I knew how to smoke properly because I used to smoke cigs when we went out to bars. But it just took several episodes of cannabis exposure before my cannabinoid receptors jumped up and took notice. When I finally passed the joint on to the next person, everyone applauded and patted me on the back. It was a proud moment for everyone.

It was several weeks later after several more tries when we were at another, smaller party in a guy's apartment that I finally felt the effects. That was fun, too. I felt so giggly and silly and high. I'd by then ditched my straight-laced boyfriend and I ended up spending a good part of that evening kissing and pawing the very cute guy whose apartment we were in.
