My brother kept bugging me all day long to try it,so I did and got sick from that dirty filthy bong.That was 1972.

I don't get sick from dirty bongs anymore.

It was 1969 and two hot chicks had stolen a little hash from one of their older brothers returning from Nam...
Those were the daze my friends!

Early 60s when I was 10 years old. My older brother's friends decided it was time...and I instantly became part of their "posse". It did not seem to matter that I was 5-7 years younger--until years later when a couple of them got the infamous "greeting" letter.

You know, the one from the Prez that went like this: "Greeting: You are hereby ordered for induction into the Armed Forces of the United States, and to report at..."

Some people have been smoking 12 more years since this thread started (2005) . I first smoked weed a bit over 40 years ago when I was about 13. My neighbor and I stole a little weed from his dad and made a small joint . I didn't feel a buzz. Took a hit now and then from kids but never felt anything until I smoked half a joint of Colombian at 16 years old. Good Colombian was tan or brown , not green and it smelled like incense when burning.

Thats my all time favourite kind of weed aroma. I love others too but thats my grail trait right there.

I started smoking weed when I went to college about 30 years ago. Went to parties, was in bands, got into acid and weed. Acid got left behind when I left college but weed has never left my side. It connects me to the force

46, started by lifting weed off my pops around 13. smoked a few times without getting high then one day on a school field trip to an amuzement park i finally got it. we took this gondola ride over the park hoping to have a gondola all to ourselves so we could smoke but had to share a car with a couple. as soon as we got underway the guy says "you mind if we get high?" we all lit up and left the car laughing our asses off, I'll never forget that day.

I tried it three or four times when I was fifteen-sixteen years old back in the mid seventies. I hated it. I didn't respond well to the high. I don't know if that was due to the type of weed or just my lousy attitude. I tried in again in my early twenties and it was okay but nothing special. I didn't try it again until a couple years ago... I'm in my mid fifties now. I wouldn't have bothered except I've been looking for something to help with medical issues. I really like it now. It greatly helps relieve stress, anxiety, depression and pain.

I began growing high CBD strains six months ago and after a couple of failed attempts am on the verge of harvesting and curing my first crop.

With most of it I'll be making edibles to get the greatest and most complete/thorough benefits from it. Edibles are evidently more efficient because very little of the medicine is wasted from simply blowing out most of the smoke. Oral consumption apparently has other benefits too. I'll reserve some to smoke with friends but the majority will go into edibles... some cooked (brownies, cookies, etc.) and some uncooked (refrigerator fudge, etc.).

1967. I was 12 yrs old and hanging out with my brother's garage band.

Just turned 70. Smoked mostly leaves back then (late 60's) used an album cover and matchbook to separate out seeds and stems. Seeds and stems. Seeds and stems. HaHa seeds and stems.
