Been smoking alone for twenty five years or so since I moved away from my smoking pals after getting married. Had one nice afternoon smoking with a new buddy (pun intended) next to the river a couple of months ago, and hope to get together again with Mr. Fox somewhere down the road. Also enjoyed a smoke with Mr and Mrs. humanrob one afternoon. Am currently having to take a prolonged break from smoking due to being unemployed and facing a likely drug test whenever that new job starts. Fucking drug test sux....
Over the years, I have gone from the getting stoned effect to more of an enlightened mellowness. I usually am much more energetic after a good smoke, and get a lot more done. Music is also one of my passions, and the vibe is always better under the influence. After my prolonged abstinence, I am sure the stoning effect will be back for a while til my tolerance level builds back up. Can't wait for the morning wake and bake. That's always been my favorite time of day for a puff with my coffee. Good ganja and good java can't be beat!
