Just try it, there really is no reason not to. Its much safer than alcohol. You just feel really relaxed after you smoke its an excellent feeling that you get with nothing else. Just have some junk food around and something really cold to drink after you smoke. At least for me I used to get real bad cottonmouth after I did it and needed something to drink. Also remember to suck it all the way down, dont smoke weed like you would a cigar.. you want it down in your lungs and hold it there for a second and you will definitly get high. I made that mistake the first 2 tiems i smoked and was like wtf it didnt do shit and once I started doing that i was like omfg this is the best thing evar! ( i was in 10th grade, lol). Anyway it's really a phase that (at least everyone i know) goes through in highschool and then it just kind of ends. I havent smoked since 11th grade and havent had the need to, just doesnt appeal to me as much as it used to. But definitly just try it... no harm it in at all..
