That was about 15 years ago that I quit. I would try anything smokable in the late 90s/early oughts; a time when I was hanging out with some women who were having a rougher time than me. It was foolish and I regret it, but I suppose it was a good lesson to learn.
Or maybe I'm just too lazy to put in all that effort chasing a high. It's like a whole lifestyle. I'm sure I would have wound up living in a small trailer in a bad neighborhood if I had stuck with it.
I love you buddy, we agree most of the time, but I don't see "lifestyle" as appropriate to say. It is an addiction. And addictions affect all classes, even the middle class and rich. I think using that word allows people to be stigmatized, especially the poor.
