As I sit here getting high I’ve got a tale for you. So the year is 1999? I had just got the new cd by “Orgy”, and my older brother wanted to go to this girl’s house so my parents made him take his little sister with him, but of course parents think a sibling is going to stop a teenage boy. Anyway, we get there and her parents aren’t home and this girl has some weed. Me being 16 had never experienced this magical substance. I literally have never been higher then I was then. So they so off to the living room and I same in her room and I’m listening to “Candyass” as I had just bought it and really wanted to hear “Blue Monday” in this state… I was so lost to that album. So they (my brother and the girl he was trying to hook up with) had come up with a plan to come freak me out that her parents were there and I had to act no high. That’s when I found out I couldn’t stand to put in Visine. I just freaked out and my brother held me down while they tried to put eye drops in. After all that and getting me all ready to go to out of the room they finally admitted it was a joke. So yeah I’ll never forget the first time I got high. Also the highest I had ever been just to be pranked.

Never smoked or anything of the sorts growing up. Waited until my mid 30’s to try CBD. Thought Cruel World Fest back in May was a good time to try. Took some gummies right before Iggy Pop went on, expecting it to kick in towards the end of his set and just in time for Siouxsie Sioux. Great idea but the weather gods had different plans. Festival cancelled a few songs into Iggy because of weather. So I had to ride it out walking through a massive crowd and standing in a 2 hour line to get on a shuttle bus. The bus queue also consisted of about a dozen narrow switchbacks made of chain link fence. Nowhere to go and one wrong step and was going to hurt. The shuttle bus was bright AF which didn’t help. But on the upside, the bus did feel like a race car every time it accelerated.

I’d love to be spinning this while i follow the smoke to the riff filled lands! Have the chance to catch these guys a few years ago and their show was transcendent!

I got high at music festival and Gwar played. It t was my first time seeing them and it was insane! It didn’t help that my best friend was standing next to me screaming “WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!!!”

I got really high once and every time I looked at my chocolate lab, I thought he was super disappointed in me for being so high. He was just an older dog with a droopy face. RIP Coby Dog!

I smoke so much weed that I cannot remember two days ago.

I first smoked weed like 6 months ago and I didn’t realize you’re not supposed to smoke the whole joint so for the first like 4 times I smoked I smoked the whole thing and got so fucking high I tried designing a left-handed motorcycle in my head. Special shout out to Sleep tho cause the first thing I did after getting high for the first time was put on Holy Mountain and just stared at the album cover for like 20 minutes.

Once upon a hazy evening, I found myself in the company of friends passing around a joint. As the sweet scent filled the air, laughter echoed through the room, and time seemed to stretch its boundaries. Colors became more vibrant, and ordinary snacks turned into culinary masterpieces. Amid the giggles and profound conversations, the night unfolded in a surreal symphony of mellow highs and shared moments.

I was getting ready to go to the gym and wanted a pre-workout snack. Mind you, I don’t do pre work out cause it makes me feel really jittery and anxious. On the counter, was a patch of sour patch kids… I quickly scarfed the pack down and drove to the gym. As soon as I got there I started to feel woozy and wasn’t really certain what had happened. I called my girlfriend and asked her to pick me up since I didn’t feel comfortable driving. By the time she got me, it sounded like the universe was wooshing through my head and ears. The pulsating echoes, and sweat dripping down my back led me to feel a bit of panic and I asked my girlfriend to drive me to the ER. At the hospital, during intake the nurse examining me asked if I had ingested and substances to which I said “no, but I did East some sour patch kids”… it was then that my girlfriend started hysterically laughing and told me she left a 500 MG pck of sour patch gummies on the counter and planned on eating some with me earlier… In the moment, I did not find this as funny as she did and asked the nurse if I would be okay to which she replied, “you’ll have an extreme case of the munchies but other than that you’ll be just fine… go home and have some water and get into bed” — my girlfriend continued laughing continues the way home but we did stop for Shake shack. Extreme munchies was cured by 2 burgers, 2 fries and a milkshake and I learned that day to carefully inspect any candy before I put in my mouth.

My first year of college, my roommate and I decided to get stoned and watch Pineapple Express (of course). Ten minutes into the movie, my roommate turns to me with a confused look and says, ‘Why is it in German?’ Yep, we’d been watching the movie in a different language and neither of us realized it. It took us another five minutes to realize it wasn’t German, but in fact, Spanish
