kinda strange, that this is happening to you cause my friend, who used to be the same way actually just smoked for the first time last night, after hitting a blunt that i rolled us. It was bittersweet, because for the last year we havent really chilled, and we used to chill everyday for the past 14 years, so when that happened it was strange, but now he is a smoker, so what can i say, just to to convince them its not so bad. Hell, maybe you could sweet talk them into smoking a bowl with you. tell them its fun.
