Well old stoners, how long have you been smoking and what got you started?

Started smoking in 1979. My friend from church(yes church)was a stoner and I had no idea. We used to have this youth group that met once a week at night for whatever reason and one night we both got there early and he asked me if I got high. I told him I'd never tried it before so we went out to the large field behind the church and he produced a pipe and some of, what I found out later, was primo Columbian Gold buds. I took 4 tokes of the stuff and then tried to keep a strait face during the group meeting. It didn't work, they all knew I was loaded out of my skull...lol! That was 28 years ago, time flys when you're having fun.

since september of '69 (40+ yrs) and it was
peer pressure that got me to try it. We met
up w/ Peter a senior who asked me Billy and
Jim if we wanted to try some pot. Billy took
off running but me & Jim were all for it.......

I'm so glad to see there are so many "old" stoners around. I started 37 years ago. I'm 51 now. Bought my first "lid" from a friends older brother. Smoked regs for many, many years. Never will forget when I smoked my first connoisseur quality bud...WOW! It is time to legalize it people! Across this great nation there are many, many folks like us who enjoy the herb, and have for a while now. Time to end the lies, and get everyone in this great USA on the same legal page. Peace!

40 years now for me (52). started after i realized my older (by 7 years) brother was getting high. aint found a reason to (permanently) quit, PLENTY of reasons to be careful who knows. i live in an unfriendly state for "dope smokers". here, a friend was once standing next to his boss on job site, talking. idiot subcontractor was across room, trying to force a dull drill bit to cut a hole. bit broke, & a piece of it flew across the room & hit buddy in eye. boss/ass loaded him in cab, rode to hospital with him, & made him piss in cup before getting treatment. all in the name of "we don't want to pay for injuries caused by drug use". they never tested idiot subcontractor, however. HE wasn't hurt...:wallbash:

Started smoking in the 70s - my best friend and still my best friend got a J from his older brother. We smoked it in the ally behind his house and really didnt get stoned but we acted like we were. About a week later we got our hands on some more and the rest is history. It's been 40 years of on and off smoking....i went 7 years with out it once...

Wow, I am starting to get those aches and pains that are associated with older age and I was not even a half year old yet when you were waiting on that Huey. My father came back from NAM with all kinds of habbits he didnt have when he left. My mother told me he went over there a square and came back smoking grass and using other stuff as well.

14 in 82 planted 12 plants in an unused garden bed on a hill above our house.
Unfortunaly the trail to the school bus went right through my little clandestine garden.
One night at dinner my 10 year old sister says "What are those plants your growing in the garden?" And that was all it took. The next time I got in trouble my dad freaked on the plants and ripped them out. He threw them into a swampy region at the bottom of our property and that was that. Well, they really loved living down there and became 7ft tall monsters. But I didn't understand photoperiod or anything and they were discovered once again. So I had to get rid of 6 huge plants with no buds, but I was hoping to do something with them. So when my parents went to a movie, I fired up the oven and dried about 200lbs of leaf from 6 huge plants. My house stunk so bad (Not a good smell) I had to tell my folks I burnt some brownies really bad.... But it was worse than that if you
can imagine. Ahh the Old Days...
