I have an uncle who's just 10yrs older than me. One day when I was 7, I saw him gently tearing apart a cigarette. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had to take out the old brown stuff and put fresh green ones and I couldnt tell my grandma OR else. I never knew what that green stuff was until 4yrs ago when I was 17! He was rolling a joint!
