Best answer:

Answer by Jan Stolz
Nope. never even had the urge to try them. Why give some muillionare drug dealer my hard earned money for something that will only hurt me in the end? it never made sense.

Answer by NoWay
I have smoked a lot of pot. Escapism is the reason. I was in a bad spot so I escaped the situation by getting high and watching a movie. I am successful, intelligent and happy. It didn’t lead to other things (except eating and laughing) and helped me through a bad time. Pot is not as bad as alcohol in my opinion.
