but yesterday afternoon I gave in and took a couple hits off a bowl and Yep you are right it kicked my ass. I was paranoid and just plain and simply fucked up until I went to bed about 9 pm.
I told my wife this morning that I ain't going to be doing that again. She just smiled and rolled her eyes, knowing full well I'll try it again. Hell after 42 years of toking its hard to just give up for good.

Ciggarettes are only about 50% "tobacco". They're mostly paper soaked in tobacco extracts. Erose999 Jul 2012 #3

That still works out to about $30/oz. Back to the Future> '70s pricing! leveymg Jul 2012 #4
