how'd it all start

[Strikerrr]

I moved to florida.

Well, it was wierd. I actually took my first smoke when I was about 13. But at that time, I didn't know what I was doing and it felt too weird, so I didn't smoke again for years. During that time, I had sold here and there. Because of that, people in my school associated me with being a pothead but that really wasn't the case. I strictly sold, never smoked.

Then when I got to college, I thought I'd try it again. The first time was a disaster, I was in NYC on a freshman/school trip and knew better than to try to cop on the steet in the Village. But it was a school trip and I didn't have time to go to Brooklyn. So I met some dude and he gave me 3 20 sacs for 40...should have known something was up. Got back to my room and smelled it, smelled mad different than what he had on the street...it was garden herb. So I hooked up with one of my suitemates and he got me turned on to some primo shit and the rest is history.

Like many others, it all started with drinking for me. I would go to parties and weed/other drugs would be everywhere but I would never partake. Finally, one of my best buds offered it to me and I eventually said fuck it. "The rest is history..." :thumbsup:

the first time i smoked weed was when i was 13 during community service for defacing public property. the guy giving us the hours said we didnt have to work if we got him high so another kid i was working with brought in a huge blunt of northern lights and i got ripppppped. i didnt inhale right the first time around but then he gave me a shotgun...

I had my first taste of alcohol when i was like five, just a few sips. When i was 13 i started to get into my brothers Coors Light every now and then, but it wasn't till i was 14 that i actually got drunk. Started smoking at 15 and havn't looked back since.

Hmm... Not sure when I first smoked tobacco. I never smoked more than a couple cigs a day, and usually far less than that. Tobaccco's never been a big deal for me.

I first drank sometime around midway through high school (Junior year, I think). At times during HS I was drinking heavily once or twice a week on average (almost every weekend, for a while). Oddly enough, I started drinking less during college.

The first time I got high was actually quite a bit later than most people - late Senior year in HS. I had smoked a couple times before then, but didn't get stoned... I had some poorly rolled joints (I had no idea what I was doing and rolled them myself; I don't remember how they turned out, but I suspect they were awful) of crappy cheap schwag and had limited experience with smoking, period, so I probably wouldn't get high doing that now, either. By the end of Senior year I was smoking semi-regularly, and by the end of summer I was probably smoking almost every day. In college, I quickly settled into an... active smoking routine.

Nasty alcohol was my gate way. Vodka I think. Then I found weed and alcohol dissapeared.

my dad is an alcoholic so ive never been attracted to the bottle, always too scared. started smokin herb in high school, peer pressured but kept doing it because it was fun. eventually my mom had surgery and have been on pharms for the last few years so i havent been a fan of them either. lately pharms have failed where cannabis succeeds. my moms in the middle of getting a medicinal recommendation now.

over the years ive just grown more and more into a conasiuer for glassware and herb. ill stick with weed since i have seen what the popular legal alternatives can do for me...

Very similar boat.

I tried a cigarette when I was like 6 (hated it).. Then I tried weed when i was 13 and I liked it.
