I'll bet I've had a longer break than anyone. I went without weed for 23 years. Smoked socially in college. Liked it fine. Then grew up and didn't smoke again till two months ago, when I got some for my sister, who's been sick from chemo. I don't know that I'll keep it up after she no longer needs it. In fact, I'm fairly certain I won't. But I shall remember it fondly! I hope to see it decriminalized and legalized within my lifetime so I can enjoy it on the up-and-up.

The longest I ever went without drinking alcohol was about 12 years, and I can still take it or leave it. I mostly choose to leave it except for a bottle of light beer here and there.
