Thanks for getting back to me, and answering my question. It is really nice to be able to talk with someone about this that understands. It does make me feel more relaxed which is a good thing. I do not have a situation like you have with your sister, so this is a great outlet for me, so I am really glad you got this board going. It sounds like inhaling went easily for you, and that it feels nice. I have never really been able to ask that question, and I am glad that I did. I am enjoying things now, but since it does feel nice to inhale I am ready. I have been smoking a light menthol if that makes any difference. I will wait to hear back from you when you get a chance. Hope it is as nice a day where you are as it is here!
Thanks again Linda..!
