Deffinitly depends on the person. I have seen people smoke for a short time and love it and then one day quit and never do it again.

Then again, I have seen others such as my friend and I inlcuded who have been caught and punished by the governement for our involment with our hobby. We are both on probation with supervised drugtests randomly yet enjoy what we do so much that we smoke daily and risk shamming the test foe the THC.

Is it a phase for me? Actually, probably still is. I don't forsee me impending future marriage working out to great if I think I am going to smoke and be married to the other woman in my life besides Mary Jane.
