Before I smoke, I like to put a positive thought of Mother Nature in my head. I think about that untill I feel enlightened enough to take a toke. I look to my friend and say "Daijo Bu" (sp?) which means it's all good in japanese. After the session, we always ash out into one of his plants (we are botany amatures, but know tons about plants, all kinds, especially native planst to the southwest US). We return the favor back to Mother Nature. The cycle is complete, and I live knowing that I am one of Mother Earth's allies...
