While I commend you for your good sense, weed really isn't scary. Tobacco and pretty much anything else you'd smoke sure are, at least to me, but the ganja is pretty innocuous.
@Ballora It's fun! I was super scared of it when I first tried it myself, two years ago, but it was totally worth it. I'd recommend that you start with only a hit or two from a pipe or joint, have water on hand, and if possible, do it with a more experienced stoner whom you trust and who's willing to walk you through the process.
