Didn't start smoking pot until towards the end of my last semester in college. After college, moved to Hoboken and worked in NYC and my lover at the time had a sales job with no benefits other than the boss gave everyone an ounce of pot every Friday. Our apartment was definitely the most popular place on Friday nights!

I don't remember now why I stopped smoking it. I tried it again about 10 years ago and enjoyed it, but have never really had an inkling to take it up again even though it's legal now in CA. Maybe after I retire.......
