Let’s keep this simple, at first. Hopefully the mods will let this slide so long as we keep it in the past… ? 🙂 I’m guessing 90% plus of the responders… ---

Once, but I didn’t inhale. ---

I’ve never done it, or any other drug for that matter, save those I’ve been prescribed and caffeine. ---

I haven’t. Gotta admit I’m surprised at the results of this thing so far! ---

I went to college in the late 60’s and early 70’s and smoking pot was about as normal as drinking coffee at Starbucks today. As a matter of fact, I didn’t know a single person who DIDN’T smoke pot back then - seriously. Times have changed. Haven’t smoked it, seen it, or for that matter, even smelled it in a long time…gee, just thinking about it is making me nostalgic. I remember one girl in college, (her father was the Attorney General of the state), and we were in her room smoking dope and buzzing and she said, “someday I will have little vases all around my house and they will all be filled with rolled joints so I can have one whenever I want and won’t have to waste time rolling it.” I just found that so funny…but I think you had to be there. ---

Yep. Wanted to see what the fuss was about and I kept trying because everybody else I knew seemed to think that a good time was impossible to have without it, but I never got anything but a sore throat (and the last two times INCREDIBLY ill). ---

Twice. The first time I got all giggly without being able to stop, but fully realizing there was nothing funny. It was surreal. The 2nd time…not much. None since then. ---

I never have. Never even smoked a tobacco cigarette (and I think I can count the times I’ve had alcohol on one hand). ---

I was an all day, every day toker for several years, but I suppose I grew out of it, as it just doesn’t hold the appeal for me that it once did. Also, it tends to make my already shy self even more inhibited, and I don’t need that. ---

For about a year in college, and stopped when it started making me have panic attacks. ---
