I smoke it almost every evening
It doesn't work for everybody, and it isn't really ideal for recreational use. What it does for me is to dissolve boundaries, open my mind and enable me to focus on one thing at a time. I have a very busy mind and am artistic, so it puts me in a really good zone.

When stoned, sex is more intense, music is more intense and flavours are stronger. Reading and casual conversation can be a struggle, and don't try and talk to your mum on the phone!

A party full of stoners can be pretty tedious, as a room full of people who go into their own heads more and focus more intently on things one by one can be dull. It isn't a party intoxicant.

I would say avoid the stuff if that intensity and breaking-down of barriers is not something you welcome. Also, if you are miserable at this stage in your life, weed can make you feel much worse.

I haven't smoked for over five years now and don't really miss it. I could only handle small amounts before getting couch lock, about 50 /50 home grown to tobacco in a three skin shared between two of us.
Music sounds truly amazing though.
