Looking back at the joint, which looked to Shannon like a homemade, poor man's version of a cigarette, she gave a facial shrug and took the one Jenny held out. "Sure, why the hell not?" she asked, smirking slightly as she shrugged.
She watched Jenny, because she hadn't ever smoked anything before and wasn't really entirely sure how it worked. Here was to hoping that the cannabis being good for asthma thing wasn't bullshit or she'd be really sorry, really quickly, that she was willing to give it a go. It didn't look entirely pleasant the way Jenny burst into a coughing fit and tears sprang to her eyes, but she was giggling none the less so maybe Sid hadn't been lying to the other woman when he said it was good stuff. Maybe it was working its mojo on Jenny already. In that case, bombs away.
Shannon mirrored Jenny's action, putting the joint between her lips and striking the lighter, igniting the end of it and sucking in some of the smoke. It burned like a motherfucker and before she could even finish her first inhale, she was hacking up a storm. She, too, had tears running down her cheeks. "Oh my God, I feel like a bad actress on an after school special," she laughed once the coughing finally calmed. "Happy? I'm all for that," she added. Once her throat stopped burning, she took another drag off the thing and struggled not to cough the second time - failing - as she moved toward the window to blow the smoke back out. "How long before this stuff is supposed to --" she cut herself off and rested a hand on the window pane, blinking slowly and feeling a little lightheaded. "Woo...okay then..." she giggled, snorting in an effort not to laugh out loud.
