See before I started I didn't get why people smoked at all. Really it looked kinda gross and I'd see someone puffing away and I asked myself what are they getten outta this. The first time I started, I was out in my friend's backyard and all I could do was keep looking around to see if anyone saw what we were doing. If a neighbor or her brother or her mom walked in the backyard I wouldve totally freaked. But that didn't happen and after I smoked my first (well I shared it with my friend but still) my heart was racing and it was almost like one of my games. So what I'm trying to say here is I didn't realize smoking would make me feel different in a good way ya know. Still findin this kinda strange.
