I'm sure I could fix that!

Have you gained on purpose?

It seems like there are three ways this starts:

1) You want to gain for a long time and finally get the opportunity and go for it;

2) You have some transformative experience that makes you realize you want to gain, and decide to try it;

3) You think about it for a period of time and just start wanting it more and more until one day you just start.

Which one happened to you? If you answered (2), what was the transformative experience that got you going?

It's originally Mexican, and in the US we usually use the Mexican spelling--"marijuana". We used to spell it "marihuana" for those who were thrown by the Spanish "j", which is pronounced like the English "h". But at some point people decided the original spelling was more hip. Spelling it with an "h" gave you a clueless, out-of-touch, anti-drug-propaganda-movie vibe.

Personally I don't care. Spell it with an "h" if you want.

Etymology: Since it's a mild drug (or used to be) it was given a kitchen-maid name. In English, "Mary-Jane".

Please answer the question! Thanks.

My advice is looking better now, isn't it? If you'd kept it at a teasing level it would allow you to explore the subject without it getting confrontational, as it apparently did!

Tease back.

Twilight is okay if you view it as a metaphor of High School.

And I thought the movie versions of Watchmen and Sin City were better than the comix.

Awesome! Hope it put her in her place.

True! I will update it one of these days.

That's all I got!
