maybe he wants to cook it? because it is a diffrent high. maybe he can't smoke it for medical reasons? you know there are people out there that are so allergic to smoke that they end up coughing so bad they can't breathe when they get around ANY kinda smoke. i had a friend like that, he had to stand atleast 10 feet away when we were outside and i was smoking or he'd turn red from coughing so much....same thing happend wtih weed and just plain old barbecue smoke.....
