32. Don't use marijuana now, but wouldn't say I'd NEVER consider using it.

Mar 2014

Last time I smoked pot, was back around 1980 or so.

Never really cared or understood the attraction towards it even back then.

It was like meh... boring.

Legal or not, it never stopped me then, and it wouldn't stop me now if I had a genuine interest (or medical reason), in partaking.
