I?ve always felt pot smoking was part of my culture. I first tried pot when I was twelve years old. My grandmother smoked, my cousins smoked, and even my mother smoked, so naturally it felt like a part of my culture?the ?California Culture? as I called it. When I was a child, all the grown-ups would go to the bathroom at family gatherings for a puff, but it wasn?t as if we kids didn?t know what they were doing.games
