I started smoking pot during my first year of university, after a loud and messy breakup with my first girlfriend that sent me into an absolutely manic rage. It was shortly after she left, bawling, that one of my roommates asked if I wanted to get high. I guess that was his way of trying to make me feel better. That night I was introduced to a 1.8m bong, which I filled with smoke and cleared twice, and then we all sat down to watch the news.
