Not really, I've tried it and it isn't for me. I've always been tolerant of those we smoked it however and simply put it in the same category as alcohol.
Hearing my wife and others claim it as a "gate-way" drug always amused me - I suppose it could be, but that would come down to the nature of the individual. My sister, for example, has been blazin' since 1979, is a chronic "wake and baker" and her husband isn't too different although he prefers to partake once his day is done. They both have lived productive lives, raised two children (my nephew doesn't touch the stuff, my niece is worse than her mom!) who have gone on to have families and provided well for their children...
So it really baffles me why I am having issues with the number of people lighting up now that it is legal. I smell it everywhere I go - sometimes while I am driving on the damn highway! What initiated this rant was this morning while I was dropping of my granddaughter at daycare, there was a Bob Marley clone in a FedEx uniform coming out of the center positively reeking. Not sure if his shift was ending or just beginning although I am positive it was just beginning.
My first thought was how sad it must be to feel your mood has to be altered to get your day started right - as I took a big swig of coffee from my over-sized thermos. Am I all that different from Bob? I mean, if I do not drink my coffee (caffeine) there is a distinct and negative effect on my morning.
Anyway, you all see what I am getting at - thoughts?
