Weed is different for everyone.

If you were seriously seeing your friend turn into a lizard, i wanna get a hold of whatever shit you were smoking. that said, you're the only person who can truly judge whether or not weed is for you. I prefer using herb for my depression over prozac because i dont like being a fucking zombie, but thats just me.

Buy yourself a nice 20 sack and smoke just a little of it. wait 15 minutes and see how you feel, then decide if youre ready to smoke more.

I have a budddy who flipped his shit once and vowed never to smoke weed again. He gets a lot of shit for it, but its ultimately his desicion.

Its up to you, bro.
