A couple of thinks I'd like to say:
First, welcome to the group! I'm glad you found us and felt comfortable enough to post such a highly charged question. You'll find a lot of varying opinions on the subject of recreational drugs.
Second, I'm glad to hear that you are currently in a mild phasee of CF. Please do your utmost to take care of yourself now, and be diligent and compliant with doctor's orders. It will set the stage for later in life when CF becomes a greater challenge. Enjoy where you're at, and work hard to lay the groundwork with friends who are caring enough to support and encourage you.
On that note, I wanted to address your comment:

Actually, it's not normal, and if "all your friends are doing it" and you feel pressured to go along with it...well, that's not the healthiest thing for you physically or emotionally. The advantages to NOT smoking or doing any sort of recreational drug far outweigh the fleeting pleasure of the experience.
I applaud you for stating that you have decided not to smoke it (or anything else.) I truly hope you'll remain firm in that decision. You'll be a better person for it. I'm not saying this to be "preachy" or anything like that, I just feel very strongly about doing what I can to keep teens from getting themselves into a bad situation they can't get out of. As the director of Addiction Overcome, Inc., I've interviewed lots of young people who tried something "just once" for no good reason and are continuing to pay the price for that error in judgment.
Okay...enough of that stuff. Again, welcome to the group. Please don't be afraid to participate in discussions and topics. Chances are you'll be positively impacted by what you learn here and the people you'll meet.
All the best,
Lauren
