For real, though. One of the most important things I try to teach anyone when they're a new smoker is not to let anyone pressure them into that goofy "smoke as much as possible" bullshit.

I've known way too many people who hated weed because they would always freak out when they smoked. They almost never seemed to realize it was 'cause they kept trying to fit in and keep up with veteran smokers instead of finding their personal level of comfort and chilling there.

Y'all can smoke yourselves to death if you want. I'm just trying to chill, thanks. ✌️

I’m just trying to get comfortably intoxicated. That means about 3-5 hits every hour or two OR the about 2-3 drinks and one every hour or so. Never both at once or I get sick.

Trying to keep up just makes me sick today and tomorrow. I’ll celebrate my cheap intoxication instead

dude speaks the truth. i recommend refusing to fit in, in general, there's so much bullshit that goes away and you end up somewhere nicer as a result. peer pressure is for mindless sheep, folks
