How old were you when you first smoked dope?

Aliantha · 10-12-2009, 09:18 PM

And after the first time, did you continue to do it, or was it a one off at least for a while?

Elspode · 10-12-2009, 09:39 PM

I did it pretty assiduously for about 20 years thereafter, and to a much lesser degree for another 10.

Undertoad · 10-12-2009, 09:42 PM

Ah college

It didn't seem to work the first 6 times

It worked great after that

wolf · 10-12-2009, 09:52 PM

I was probably 18, in high school. Smoked up quite a bit in the first year of college, before I lost interest.

Okay, it wasn't really weed-related apathy; it was fear.

One day, I wanted to move on to a new activity and I couldn't.

Haven't touched that shit since.

I guess I must have been around 18. Pot never impressed me much because it usually gave me a panic attack. Now as for other mind altering substances...

lumberjim · 10-12-2009, 10:05 PM

bipeen.

and from age 18 to about 34...if i wasn't at work, on the way to work, or in a cop car.....

elSicomoro · 10-12-2009, 10:23 PM

Just before I turned 17...good times! Haven't smoked it in 10 years and would like to try some again...but not while I'm trying to find a job.

My brother slipped me acid when I was 27. But the first time I tried drugs on my own was after my 1st wife and I divorced.

I'm the least cool guy around here.

Never tried it. L7 square, man.

DanaC · 10-13-2009, 03:38 AM

Very briefly as a kid. Then a gap til I was in my late teens, then smoked occasionally for a couple of years then a break for another couple of years then from early-mid 20s to now, pretty much habitual except for one or two breaks of less than a year each.

sexobon · 10-13-2009, 03:58 AM

I'll let you know how old I was when I first smoked dope after you send me some. I haven't even sniffed the dope that I used to put on model airplanes.

TheMercenary · 10-13-2009, 05:26 AM

Never heard of it.

Shawnee123 · 10-13-2009, 07:45 AM

I tried it once in HS...didn't do anything and I was pretty tame back then anyway.

Freshman year of college, though. Whoa. That was back in the days when you could find some good stuff. Someone laid a bud on the arm of the chair I was sitting in, and I thought it was a mouse, and I threw it across the room.

Spexxvet · 10-13-2009, 08:16 AM

Between 7th & 8th grades. My older brother was a pot head. I was pretty habitual (more days stoned than not) after work/school from 18 - about 24,

when I started getting panic-y instead of high. Didn't smoke anything for about 20 years, but have smoked about 4 times in last 5 years, with pleasant results, except for the last time - panic-y again.

glatt · 10-13-2009, 09:13 AM

Tried it half a dozen times as a freshman in college. Wasn't impressed. Then junior year abroad, I tried hash, also wasn't impressed. Haven't touched the stuff since, although I enjoy smelling the aroma at concerts.
