I smoked very often for much of the 90s.  Then it became only an occasional thing and now I can't remember the last time I had any (then again, I can't remember most of the 90s either << /joke).  It wasn't a conscious decision to stop, it just wasn't conducive to my lifestyle any more. I'd probably do it again if the mood was right, but I've been offered numerous times in the past few years and turned it down.

relatively big smoker in my youth... even dealt for a while to get my stuff free...Red Lebanese & black  Afghani or ganja or columbian gold >> most of that stuff was easy to find in Toronto in the 70's.
 
But when the stuff started getting rare and worse quality (mid-80's), I reduced quite a bit...
 
Upon my return in Europe, I spent a few years without it... Then I visited Dutch coffee shops, and tried a few of the local chemically-enhanced clone squnk stuff... didn't like it... Too strong, cold sweats, uninviting smell etc...  
 
So I started growing it.... with variable results... Now, I smoke two or three joints/year 
 
I guess it's fair to say I grew out of it... never felt trapped either

I smoked hash and weed quite regularly in the early 80's, but I stopped in early '85 and I never regretted that decision.

Used to a fair bit, but not for over 10 years now.

Every now and again, but whenever I do it just reaffirms that I like drinking much more.

Use to do it all the time, now only occasionally.
Apart from the funnies made in this thread, you may just get some good advice, so I applaud you for asking around intelligently before, jumping in at the deep end.
If you decide to try it out at some point in your life, then just remember that we as a species are prone to overdo the things we enjoy. Routine is a bad thing in this case, if you know what I mean. And first and foremost listen to what your body tells you, meaning that people respond differently to different things. Some enjoy themselves, while other spend the night talking to the toilet...

As for the earlier mentioning about an OD, which btw was completely sarcastic, that scenario is almost impossible. You need to obtain one third of your bodyweight in weed to do so, and even if you by some miraculous feat manage to swallow all that down, you will still be struggling not to barf during the next hour or so. Just saying...

I hope this doesn't come off sounding like a recommendation, because it's not. I just think information is far better than taboo and what most governments offer up about the subject.

I've done it, never with women or in the scrotum.

I've smoked it a few times over the years, usually only when a friend had and was smoking.  I never once bought any myself.  Alcohol has always been my drug of choice, and now that I've developed asthma I can't.  It will cause me serious problems.  Can't say I really miss it.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Welcome to the internet. Oh, btw, injecting weed into your scrotum is totally dangerous...I died twice trying it.

Shame is this site is dead nowadays, no more eruptions or fun or controversial shut downs, just a slow death of this threadCry

Also I used to take weed the only way you should: via injection into my scrotum


I used to do this as well. Though I stopped once my friend overdosed. It really woke me up to the dangers of weed.

Though I will drink anything with an ABV (and most things without), I have never tried marijuana in any form (unless secondhand counts- had a few pot smoking friends).

I always thought pot smelled bad.
