Stoner... man, I was really freakin out about how to approach people! Stinkyattic suggested hanging out at places/with folks that are smoker frequented, river rafting, sky diving, etc. Good suggestion but I am extremetly time limited with full-time grad school so plan B.

I spent a lot of time reviewing all the people I've come into contact with on a regular basis and have established a pretty good relationship with (all be it from a customer/provider relationship). I evaluated how "cool" they are, and whether I could afford to approach them (damage control- could I afford them knowing that I am a smoker). On my short list popped up a one of my class mates, the guy at a smoke shop I buy cigars from, a girl at the dry cleaners, and the dude that works at the gas station I go to all the time. I then had to kind of decide how to approach and figured I'd just come out and ask "hey, this might seem kind of strange but... I'm looking for smoking alternatives, you know anyone who's got the green?" Scored on the second try and am not so sure the first guy may not come through... he was just so shocked, he was not against smoking but I think couldn't process the button down-type dude in front of him asking about smoke. The second guy stated that he didn't know if he shoud be discussing that with me... he obviously knew what I was talking about so I just told him about my situation and he said he'd see what he could do. Yesterday, he appologized for not coming through on a 1/4 oz that he told me he would hook me up with, so he passed me a joint and told me to enjoy until he came through!

So anyway, I couldn't wait took a couple hits and got high last night... what a great experience. I'll write about that in a different thread because it was such a wonderful experience... much better this time than I ever remember it being in the past. What an experience, damn!

BTW Stoner... check out the rubbermaid grow container on the growers thread... that looks like the way to go if you have limited room and/or need security! I don't know nuthin' about growing but as I was trying to figure out if I could do it... that looked like a good option.
