Being only eighteen I found it fairly easy to conduct my observations of the use of this illegal drug, I am constantly surrounded by people we callpot heads.? It was just up to me to decide what observation to discuss. I decided to use the most frequent occurrence of this drug, which I usually witnessed at a party.
It was another party on another Saturday night, there were many in the house and you can usually tell who was high or who was drunk by the look of their faces. But tonight my mains focus were those who were high. One guy who had the weed began the night by asking everyone in the house if they wanted to get high with him. Some refused while some agreed. He even got his best friend who said that he would never smoke, to try it for the first time. This is usually common; there is always a new one in a group that has never tried it before which makes this particular experience a memorable one. After he gathered those who wanted to join him they all went into the bathroom to light one up (a blunt that is). The group got into a circle or what they could make of one in the tight area they had. The guy took a blunt out of his pocket and lit it up with a lighter. The usually,puff, puff, pass? routine was in gear, where you take hits from the blunt and then pass it on. They continued to do this until the blunt was no more. The focus was on the new comer, he was pressured into this circle, he is usually a drinker and everyone in the bathroom wanted to get him high. I watched the new comer closely as he watched others smoked the blunt. They even taught him how to smoke it properly. After his first hit he coughed which was naturally. Soon the bathroom air was filled up with a smoke cloud of marijuana and the faces of the users started to change as they inhaled the smoke from the weed. One of the people in the room left to join the rest of the people in the party while the others continued to finish the blunt.
