This happened to me.

We were sharing a joint after a pagan ritual and he whipped out a real pipe.

He looked at me and started to ask “do you want? Nah, not you”

And I appreciated it because I’m not sure I could handle something harder than nicotine or caffeine.

This happened to a friend of mine. He gave a ride to this girl that was a friend of a friend and she asked him if she could smoke in his car. He said OK and she pulls out a meth pipe.

My mom once told me that, in her youth, you could ask whether smoking weed was okay in an environment by saying “is it cooool?” stretching out the word and making a sort of fish swimming motion with your hand.

I don’t know whether that’s true, nor - if so - how widespread it was. Probably it’s not still accurate in any case.

I believe she was 40 in 1987.

Crack isn’t that bad. Don’t knock it until you try it. It’s just a stimulant. Bunch of babies.
