Your history with weed

To paraphrase Bill Hicks..I used to smoke as much as the average touring prog rock band in the 70's...

Generally, I don't remember much..

Where's the Jaffa Cakes..?

I've never had it and never will but I also strongly object to its prohibition.  Do with your own body as you please.

Since I´ve had kids (which I´ve now had for 8 years), I´ve smoked very few times (and not because of moral issues, it´s just that I seldom get the opportunity to smoke these days). If I want to get intoxicated I still much prefer weed over alcohol. When I smoke weed I´m fine the next day. Maybe a bit heavy headed but that´s it. When I drink alcohol, I´m busted for days.

I know that feeling. I rarely drink heavily now, partly because it makes me feel so bad the next day, but also I tend to get sick before I get happy drunk. So when I'm done drinking most people I know are just warming up.

Although I rarely smoke weed now, it's a far more pleasant and satisfying experience. The pubs around where I live are pretty rough too. I'm fed up with the whole world of blokes in vests drinking buckets of Stella then fighting each other, or beating up their girlfriends by the local kebab van. You don't seem to get that behaviour very much among the stoner brigade.

Jim, I don't want to wake up in a police cell again, with a medical examiner picking bits of a Pallas album out of my face, and having to explain to them what a 'prog curry' is..

I took part in the first one... fun evening, even if it was a shame it ended so early (damn early OK last calls)... I could stand doing another of those...   Richard, Andy, Alan , Chris, Simon, moi (and my better half for the first part) and some other bloke I can't remember his name now...   ==========   And yup, booze does more damage than weed... and sometimes more towards innocent bystanders   But I do drink more than I toke nowadays... but very rarely go behind the point of being tipsy...

There's been a few since then, but it's been a while. Long overdue!!

The kudzu is really hard to beat back around here. We also have an abundance of privet...

Every once in a while, Tobold Hornblower's breed only.

I used to all the time with friends, but then I started moving around the country with my wife as we steadily moved up the job ladder in our field of work and basically had to stop to be able to easily pass pee tests.  Certainly wasn't hard to quit, but if I knew I could get away with it, I'd start smoking again.  And I'd revisit some of my old prog favorites, too, and see if I might get a different experience while high.
