I remember introducing my friend to pot. I had been smoking for about a month and hadn't told him, and then one night he wanted me to get some vodka so we could get drunk. Not being a big fan of alcohol, I told him I had something better than vodka and he couldn't figure out what that could be. When I later showed him my sack, he was a bit hesitant, but he tried it anyway and by the end of that weekend he was on his way to becoming a stoner. Now he's almost as much of a pothead as me.

I never feel guilty about that, because I don't see anything shameful in potsmoking. Quite the contrary, I think I would feel quite guilty if I either kept the fact that I smoke from him or if I told him but never let him try it.
