Ghost, that was a great piece you wrote. I know that when it is time to sit down with your friends, you are too worried about getting high quickly and conversing with your friends along with looking forward to "the experience" of listning to good music, and basically taking your life in and analyzing it. I am not saying this is a bad thing, because these are some of the things that make weed great. I find that the best way to enjoy the experience of smoking pot is to smoke it by yourself. There are no distractions. Just you and the plant. Is it just me or do any of you do this to? Right before I take my first hit, I stare at the bowl I have just packed, and think to myself. "Right now I am completely sober, and in a few seconds I will be on my towards a journey through my own mind. I then take the hit, and hold it in for as long as I can knowing whats to come, and at the same time, having no idea what I am in for. That is the great thing about Marijuana. It takes all of the problems of your life, and puts them in a spot of your mind where you look past this and only see the good things in your life. That is why I smoke.
