Marijuana is legal to smoke in 41 states in the U.S. I use it once in a while for pain and once in a while for pleasure. There are many different names that poeple call it. Back when I first started indulging, my friends and I called a joint a (Bone). Before it was legal of course (lol)

All I need is a little weed 
to get me through my day 
So, Ill lick some glue on "Big Bamboo" 
and I'll roll myself a jay
 
I don't need much of nothing 
and nothing needs much of me 
As long as I can live my life 
Feeling good and all pain free
 
Oh, my, my I'm feeling high 
And I can't think of nothing to say 
My oh my, yes I'm kind of high 
And I think I kind of like it that way
 
Smokin' bones soothes my bones 
And it makes me feel okay 
I had my thrills with non-sense pills 
So, I gave them all away
 
I had a close call with alcohol 
Well, I drank till I stank my beard 
But I must admit that I had to quit 
Started feeling all wacky and weird
 
Heck, all I need is a little weed 
That'll get me through my day
So, I'll lick that glue on "Big Bamboo" 
and I'll smoke myself a jay

Lung darts, I used to call them, cigaretts I speak of, or any thing that goes into my lungs. I'm a big chicken I guess. Weed allowed and legal in so many states I worry about people high driving high. That's just me, everybody is different.
