My personal view of "average" for someone around college age is: you've drank a ton, you've smoked some weed, and you've at least tried some misc. drug like shrooms once. If this seems shockingly wild, then the above is probably true...

weed is fun man, but ONLY if you are from British Columbia, Canada (home of the BEST BUD in the ENTIRE WORLD!) one time i was in a bad mood at my poker game, buddy said here man, smoke this. smoked a J and BAAAAM i was so relaxed.

before you know it, i'm on the table holding on for dear life because my world was tilted at a 45 degree angle, i kept grabbing my chips because i thought they were going to fall over.

i'm not much of a weed smoker, but the experts tell me that J i smoked was probably laced with something. most of the time it relaxes me and puts a grin on my face

If you thought of it as "smokeable beer" you'd be reasonably close.

I think this is a good assessment for someone who drinks, but has never smoked weed. I classify and use it the same way I use alcohol, another way to have fun without any immediate short term risk. When you say you've heard that it makes people "dumb" I believe you are confusing recreational smokers with "stoners".

When I smoked daily I did feel that my short term memory suffered. For example if my mom told me to take the trash out tomorrow I might forget. I think "stoners" are the equivalent of alcoholics. They abuse something that, in moderation, can be a wonderful thing.

There shouldn't be any taboo around weed, and it seems like I'm finding out more and more people I know smoke. Don't fear the bud.

I've tried it. I don't like it. It gives me palpitations. Not fun feeling like your heart is going to explode.

I smoked it when I was in Amsterdam, didn't really see what the big deal was about it. It really isn't all that great.

You smoke it, then you feel good for a little bit, then you get hungry, then you eat everything in sight, and lastly you nap for a while.
I mostly didn't like it because I couldn't think straight, I wasn't able to concentrate or hold a steady train of thought. I would say it's overrated.
