We were smoking bongs, daily....all day....back in the 90s.
I lost many years of my life, I would say.
It's such a waste. You drink, you have fun. You smoke, you just bum around.
I have known many over the years. I don't think it did good for any of them.
Sure, if you "micro-dose," you can have positive effects in the long term....but who really does that?
The only people who are really able to do it don't really need it in the first place, cause they have a near perfect life anyways.
About entry drug: Back then, all my friends eventually got addicted to ecstasy, and I mean all of them. I pretty much was the only one who didn't. Coke was also a thing between them. I tried those things also. The thing is, I would never have tried this stuff if it wasn't for the green. That is why it is considered an entry drug.
