Lol. I've already been meeting Texan's and like minded people from Cali, and Colorado. If you click the link I posted, I already got this shit. You act like your the only person I've said anything to, not only wher eI am. But WHERE I COME FROM... The only reason I'm on here is because I have few friends in a new state, and I'm not in school so I don;t know where to go ehre to do that. In Texas you just say, "Hey man you smoke?" And they get in your car, you get in their car.

I wasn't trying to be superior. If you read back you basically hated on me for leaving Texas. And said to talk to some Coloradians. I was simply replying.

And I'm on here because I'm in a NEW STATE and know very few people. I made that point in the thing you were replying to.
