If you ever get through Stephenville, there's a station on the corner of 281 and something (309?) that has neat little pipes right at the register...freaked me out the first time I saw them 'cause I'm used to having to buy stuff like that at a head shop on the Mo. side in KC where you have to be very careful how you refer to things or they can't sell you anything....something I learned to my embarrassment when I went in there instead of making hubby go and used the term bong.  Anyway, there must be areas where paraphenalia can be sold in gas stations closer to you, but I know for a fact about that on in Stephenville.....and, I've never understood that paranoia thing....but, nice you can still enjoy some of the wonderful benefits of the wonder weed.  I was like your productive daily friends until my heart surgery, when I had to quit smoking, period....brownies just too much trouble, and weight control enough of a problem after quitting smoking!!  I love grass....bad thing about it for me was that because I was such a smoker, I smoked it like cigs and you can only get so high...so I wasted so much of it.....bad for the pocket and the body...but I never had any bad effects from it....it was all good.....well, cotton mouth...yuck!

fwmystic,

Thanks for the education and funny trip down memory lane.  (frogmarch-- LOL).  As for me, I guess I'm a bit of the square to which AC alludes.  I'm okay with that, too.  Also, I don't have children, but isn't just possible that your kids may see you as a real person if they knew about your past as a teenager?  You know how teenagers seem to think we were all born in our 30's.  I don't know, but sometimes I think it may help young kids to see human frailties in us, just so they know we can relate.

Mystic...

Fashion yourself an aluminum foil pipe...

Roll about seven inches worth of foil around a number two pencil. Coil one end tight around the pencil just short of the eraser, leave the pointy end loose enough to form a bowl by folding the excess foil inward. Turn that newly created "bowl" up slightly so the pot can rest inside without spilling. Then get a small square of foil and gently tuck it into the bowl you've just created so it lays flat on the bottom of the bowl but hangs over the rim some. Just squish that excess rim foil into the exterior sides of the bowl by pinching it beteeen your thumb and forefinger. Next, get a pin and poke several holes in the foil panel at the bottom of your bowl. Viola! Instant disposable pipe!

You can take a toke or two here and there while nobody's home and then ball the whole shebang up at the end of the day to discard it like a regular wad of used foil. If you're that paranoid, unravel the thing to wash off the residue and any DNA your lips might leave behind.

[Yes, I attended an eastern US university.]

I don't smoke because I have enough trouble maintaining my sanity as it is. Life already entertains the crap out of me without the added excitement of two doors of perception to choose from!

AC – you remind me of the hot chick in high school ...

who automatically assumed I was a sqaure. I am not a square. I am a dork. There's a difference!

Spitfire - I get confused on a regular basis!

Maybe we need to get stoned more often!

Blanche - I guess I have hangups

maybe I DO need to get stoned when nobody is home. Of all the things that can be classified as a crime, smoking pot should be way down the list.

sheesh.  ditch the guilt trip.  smoke a little and enjoy.  life is short and sometimes boring, no?  get stoned, relax a little, and then say, "golly, that was fun."  then go back to being a square.  ;-)

Mystic,

I don't smoke pot but I used to a lot in h.s. and I have maybe about 3 times since then. I am like you, though, I take a few hits and I'm good to go. I just don't like doing it much anymore cause I'm already confused enough in regular life; ya know, like walking into a room and having no friggin' idea why I went in there!

FWMystic,

There's a book out called something like "How to say no to your kids when you used to smoke dope" or something like that.  Possibly, you don't want to seem like a hypocrite to your daughter when she asks you why you don't want her going one toke over the line? 

Of all the illegal substances to get worked up about, pot makes the least sense...I mean, how many times do you hear in the news that the local pothead took off on a wild chase with the cops, got out looking all wild-eyed and proceeded to get into a shootout.  Most just the munchies.  Some threat.
