im in it for the paraphenalia and the times where we all just sit in a circle on the floor of my room while we chill and pass a bong around, etc.

...or because its fun and relaxing and YES i do feel like im in a huge community. like an unsaid group. smoking pot is social and it makes the world go round. you can meet a total stranger, but if he/she smokes pot, you are almost instantly connected and become friends quicker. oh, and movies about pot are the greatest.
