When I first started smoking pot at the age of 12, I did it because I thought it was absolutely fucking awesome, and just loved to get fucked up. I did that for quite a few years, and kinda overdone it. That made me a lazy ass, and I didn't want to do anything else except smoke pot and sit around. These days though, it's more of a "chill-out" thing. If I go too long without smoking, I get edgy and irritable. But when I do smoke, I just like to relax and enjoy it now. I don't smoke near as much as I used to either.
