Best answer:

Answer by Chris Is Always Right
Finding something more worth your time?
Hiding all money in an account, so you cannot afford the substances?
Take it slow, don’t get addicted?
^^Main issue with Marijuana smokers, is they get excited about it and want to do it again, you need to take it slow, like 3 times in your first year.

So my number one thing is When starting off, do it on your own account, not under peer pressure. Basically don’t start off with your friends telling you to do it, get yourself to try it first.

First time I tried a cigarette, I smoked for 3 seconds didn’t like it, and threw it away. If I had done it around a group of friends, I might have finished it, and gotten used to it. I now hate smokers.
