[quote=greenburn] it's a rite of passage. QUOTE]

i disagree because in the end it was your choice to buy that dime and it will still be your choice to smoke it so dont destract your self with trivial excuses. And while friends who smoke make it easier through contact you are the one who will stand to gain (or lose) exerience through ingestion of Delta9. Get to know your drugs before you move on to higher things and most of all smoke your weed with class; no tincans, soft metal pipes, big groups of unruly teens smoking in public, smoking in your parents house, etc. If you are confused about how to smoke then sit down and burn a bowl, theres not much too it. As far as paraphanalia goes pratice makes better, just be safe with your materials. Apple (oranges are better) pipes are fine. So have fun and WelcomE to thE wonDerful world of drugs.
