I smoked a little in high school, a little more in college, on and off as I cycled through friends who did or didn't. It was always an occasion, you dressed nice cleaned your house, cooked munchies, rented movies and invited friends over.

I started smoking regularly after gastric bypass surgery a few years ago. It helps stimulate my appetite so I can eat and kill the uber gross nausea I get after every meal. Hormones are stored in your fat and I lost so much of it...I didn't recognize myself, my boyfriend was being unfaithful, my best friend was so jealous she began to hate me and I had about 200 pounds worth of extra hormones making me insane so smoking weed...I think it saved my life. I may have self destructed and exploded over and over if it hadn't been for calming effects of MJ.
