	That is your experience.

	I used bongs until the pain in my throat got too much and
I switched to edibles.  One of the reasons I quit drinking 181 proof
rum some years earlier.  I don't think you would have called me
a layabout as I worked for some years in my distant youth.
	I was into the beginning of middle age before I dealt
with cannabis.  Then I got into it when I developed my
Systemic Exertional Intolerance Disease or post-viral fatigue.
