i say to each his own. there are many of us who have been there, but just like when a parent tells a child not to do something because they might get hurt the child most times has to learn from experience. now i have smoked and still do every so often and am happy to say that once i put my mind to working out that i have had good results by sticking to a diet. once in awhile i'll blaze one with my buddies, but when i get the munchies i eat fruit and veggies or some chicken or tuna. so i eat health munchies and that totally satisfies me, but like i said.... to each his own. remember bros none of us should throw stones if we live in glass houses. and no matter what it's effects on you, a drug is a drug is a drug. and that's all i've got to say about that.
