It was more of a hushed exchange with a friend of a friend of a friend.</p> <p>Even then you were paranoid.</p> <p>I started getting high in my late teens. I was already a pack-a-day Marlboro Red smoker, so inhaling wasn&rsquo;t an issue. Marijuana was known as pot, dope, weed, grass, or if you felt fancy, Mary Jane.
