Never smoked a cigarette or done weed in my life
As such, even though pretty much all my friends are smokers, I'm still awfully naive when it comes to the topic (I only just recently learned the difference between a blunt and a spliff). I don't mind being around it at all, in fact the smell of cigarettes opens up some fond memories of my teenage years and the local scene. Also cigars remind me of my dad.

Anyway; a mate was redoing a scene from the movie "Grandma's Boy" for a film class, and I was Dante, the naked stoner... I had to pretend I was smoking, and naturally I wasn't going to actually do it, but my inability to make it look like I even knew what I was doing led to
a.) singing my eyebrow
b.) getting ash in my eye
c.) burning my bare stomach with ash
d.) singing the end of my hair (which is rather long)

So I'm a total fucking klutz with cigarettes, which is probably another to tack on to my list of reasons why I haven't smoked yet.



Might try shrooms this weekend though.

Don't try shrooms..
..before you've smoked weed. And since trying weed is foolish (prospect of mental illness, addiction, dropping out of school etc.) then don't do either.

So I've been told.
I'm only being half serious anyway. More than likely I'll be watching my friends trip, which is entertaining in itself.

Also: friends don't let friends watch mutated monty animations on shrooms.

Go for it
shrooms are a blast, but don't have too many at the first go, and for fuck's sake, wait for a while before they kick in. don't assume they're ``doing nothing'' and take more. or you'll start thinking the house is on fire but it's all OK because the tidal wave in the attic will put it all out when it comes crashing through the ceiling. or so i've heard.

p.s. and watching friends trip on shrooms while you're (relatively) sober sucks.

There's a difference...
...between a blunt and spliff?? Stupid drug terminology; no useful Greek or Latin roots to help me decode it.

Shrooms
My honest advice is give the shrooms a go. I talk from a long love affair with hallucinogens. You are wise to abstain from pot, but indulge in hallucinogens once and a while.

Firstly, make sure that you'll be comfortable socially. All close friends, no self-consciousness allowed. Bond as a group beforehand if possible. Privacy from the outside world is preferred.
Secondly, make sure that there is someone sober, or at least someone who is really experienced and will be able to handle a situation if it comes to a head.
Finally, remember that everything is temporary. Nothing you experience will last and just make that your mantra if things get intense. Distraction is the best catalyst for change in that situation.

Have fun!


P.S. I recommend having food already prepared. No handling of knives etc., even forks can make things complicated... finger food's great!

I've only had shrooms once....
Only a few in a safe friendly environment. I've never laughed so much in my life and my face hurt for days afterwards from smiling so much.

Hey, if nature put them there then why shouldn't we use them.

I'd say that any food whatsoever can prove a challenge whilst tripping.
