well i still have it sitting in my drawer as i siad i have not been in the mood for it and since i know alot of things tried the first time are directly affected by what is happening with life in general, i have not had any good chances.
I have not done it befor but from what i undersand the best way to avoid the harshness is to smoke it out of a water pipe of some type, it burns very hot and this way gives it a chance to mellow out befor you inhale. Also alot of people do not get an effect becuase you have to take slow long toke, hold for a long time, limit the amount of oxygen you inhale with it, and as soon as you exhale you take another toke with out any other breathes inbetween and repeat till you have smoked about gram or so. That is what has been told to me.
i am a pretty repsonsible person when it comes to trying new things. I get info, talk with peopel with personal experience and then if i decided to try it, i wait till the time is right for me. Druggs/alchol for me are ways to escape take a mental break from life, a mini vaction of sorts.. and just like with a vacation to say Floridia you are not going to go every week, life will just not allow it. You have to plan and make sure everything is in order so everything goes ok while you are on break and then once you return life continues as normal.
I thank you for your words of warnings they are helpful and well thought over in the process to make my deccisions.
