    I get that it’s not for everyone, but damn… still kinda wild to hear people outright hating the experience.

    Granted, I started smoking when I was 13. Heard it helped people feel less stressed, so when the opportunity arrived I figured why not give it a try.

    Quickly got up to a pack or two a day and loved every drag for nearly 10yrs until my future wife asked me to stop. I quit cold turkey for a few years, but missed it the whole time. Eventually wound up settling on vaping as a compromise.

    Tbh, the only part I don’t miss is the dent it left in my wallet.

          I have a buddy that used to smoke 3qty 1-3gram blunts rolled in vanilla duchess, DAILY. Every single one. He now smokes spliffs cuz the nicotine in just the inner wrap and leaf. Always heard but no clue if it’s true that the little grayish piece that wraps around the mouth piece of a Dutch was the “cancer paper” cuz they soaked it in nicotine. Again, ZERO proof for that bit but everyone who rolled them always said it like it was common knowledge. The point being… dude had to smoke soooooo much fuckin weed to get addicted to tobacco from only 2 cigar leafs.

      Doesn’t it calm people down because the cravings are aggravating them, though?

      When I turned 18 I went and bought my first pack of cigs(had been smoking pot for a couple years). Smoking that first cig was the biggest let down after how hyped everyone made it seem. Made it through the first pack and didn’t buy another.

      Sounds like addiction. This is what i dont want. I dont want to miss something that isnt good for me. I drink, I smoke weed but I dont miss it if I quit for half a year.
