Why the hell does everyone like weed so much?

Is there something wrong when even the smell of pot makes you want to vomit?

Let me start by saying that during the month of February a few of my friends and I are not going to be drinking. We went to this party last Saturday though and most of the people there were smoking the ganja. I don't know what it was but I literally wanted to vomit when I smelled it. Take into account that I hadn't been drinking and certainly hadn't been smoking either.

It seems to me that when I left high school my compulsion to smoke weed stayed back at Tech. What I don't understand is why other people still like to do it. Personally, and this is going to sound like a PSA, I don't get off on feeling dopey. I need to know exactly what is going on around me at all times; even when I drink, I rarely black out and can usually recount the previous evening's events. I must admit though that when I do smoke, I usually take one BIG hit and then fall on my ass. This may have something to do with my general dislike of weed (I never ease into an introspective high full of feelings of euphoria but go from sober to passed out in 60 seconds). Couple this with the dry mouth, slight to intense degree of paranoia, inability to operate both my limbs and heavy machinery, and propensity to say "what???" and there isn't any reason to smoke. As a matter of fact, there is good reason not to.

Maybe all of you pot smokers out there can tell me why you like it.
