Been sober for 7 years, but I'm considering smoking pot [View all]

I grew some last year and this summer. I gave away all the pot last year but I have a ton of it from this years crop. I only smoked pot a couple times many, many years ago. I'm thinking of giving a try. I know I have an addictive personality, and I'll probably hate it. Any thoughts about this?
