   Boy do you know how to start a discussion!!   
   I've been smoking since I was 16. Initially I would say that we (my group of   
   friends) smoked because we liked the way it felt. I used to be a big   
   drinker...but since I've been introduced to my favorite lady 'Mary Jane'   
   there's been no going back. Truth be told if I still drank I'd probably be   
   an obnoxious alcoholic...but instead I come home from a stressful day and   
   spark up a dube...no matter how stressed I am it just seems to take away the   
   edge. Unlike alcohol I'm still in control of what I say and how I act. If   
   anything I'll either get really mellow or I'll get really giddy. The other   
   reason I guess would be boredom. I can be sitting here with nothing an the   
   TV and 'F' all to do but once I smoke...everything becomes entertaining. I   
   can get stoned and just laugh my ass off for hours just watching my cat play   
   with a foil ball (depending how good the pot was). So spark one up and see   
   for yourself. It has less of an effect on most than alcohol.
