Well old stoners, how long have you been smoking and what got you started?
A high school bust, still straight, the year after the 'summer of love', 1967. I was 16 when caught with my first ever buy during lunch at school and did not even get to smoke it before incarceration.
1970, released from reform school. Two years for possession of a felony narcotic, hashish, one gram.
Finally, 18 at release, my cousin sat with me in the back of a pickup truck and kept a bowl of hash burning for what seemed like hours while the truck drove around at random.
Nothing ever matches that first high.

First smoked in 1988 when I was 15. Started smoking regularly at about 17. Started growing seriously when I was about 20. Grew a strain that was given to me by a friend which he called Shiva Shanti. It was fire though and grew it for 3 or 4 years. Been growing pretty much consistently since then indoors. Have also grown the occasional plant outside.
What got me started? Friends smoked. It was fun and was much more my thing than alcohol. Now I use it medically as well as for recreation.

1993 I was 12. Shooting dice I won all my friend's money and he had some bud so we started betting it against money. I had no idea what it was worth but I still played. After I won I took one of the dime bags and rolled it up and smoked it by myself, i didn't feel much of anything. I spent about 10 years not smoking because it gave me anxiety. One day in my 20's i tried it again and no anxiety and never happened again and now I wake up to a gram.

bout, 98, summer before high school.
walkin home from something i can't remember random youth centre hang out maybe.
and remember catching whifs of a smell I recognize from those silly elementary school cop presentations (the whole just say no to drugs campaign or one of its successors)
I noticed the group pitch a pretty sizable thing that i didn't know at the time was a roach.
like the Kid I was I grabbed it (the 90's were a much easier time to be a pre teen lol) finished my walk home and proceed straight down to the basement to make a pipe from a large oak dowel with a drill press. (yes this is also a time where a fair amount of kids were taught to use power tools before they were teenagers)
that roach lasted me three nights.. knocked me the FUCK out the first night, actually had time to feel the high the second two.. the next day i went to see my buddy who had older brother that listened to grunge... almost 20 years later here I am. it only took a few years for me to cotton on to the medicinal aspect of the occasional batches. so by the end of high school, I already had an idea this plant could help people. (it improved my grades when i had it available, during that time there were still seasonal droughts when NO ONE had)

I was 21 in the Army after a tour in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot flying Hueys in combat assaults. My roommate was from California and had smoked before the Army. He turned me on in 1970. Been smoking ever since.
I started in 1970 and not with Marijuana but with Hashish. I was on the hippy trail and first got high in Goa and than in the Hindu Kush area. Malana Valley was still pure and not corrupted back than as was the Katmandu area of Nepal. The girls back than in the days before Aids were free in all ways and I just dug it. My soul will go back their when I leave this earth for my Karma has always been clean and honest.

I'm 40 years of age. Started smoking cannabis at 12 years old. Was 1st caught growing at 16 by police helicopter. We had a flat roof outbuilding at home back then and grew my mums roof full of an export Skunk from Swaziland.
I was a late bloomer compared to some of y'all.
I had been around it one or twice as a teenager. But I grew up With Nancy Reagan and Just Say No. So I did. Until I was 24 and just had my heart broken. By this time I had discovered alcohol just wasn't for me (odd considering I'm mostly Irish).
I went to a friends house who I had known to consume great quantities of ganja, and asked him to "break my cherry" as it were.
So he settled me in with a one hitter and a gram of decent weed. Took a couple of hits and waited about an hour. I really didn't feel anything, so I inquired about his 2 foot bong. That did the trick! Pulled it "bone white" per his instructions. Cleared it in in one go. And coughed my lungs out for about 3 minutes straight. When I was done hacking up a lung, I was higher than fuck!
I've been smoking ever since. Never really touch alcohol except for an occasional beer or cocktail.
47 now, btw.

I have take a break from this site every now and then because of the keyboard gardeners who show up and shit all over people's threads.
And I haven't been growing again until recently. But now I'm in a home I own. So you know I've got to have a garden.
Glad to see you around shithawk!
