Friday is a day of pressure; the day you’re forced to see what you’re made of and just how well you can stick to your guns.
From the moment you wake up, groggy and exhausted, you swear that you’re going to stay in tonight. Yes, tonight you will stay in, watch a movie and smoke that weed you’ve been waiting all day to smoke.
Then you get to work and all those boozy colleagues of yours want you to start ripping shots and following them to bars.
You’re wrapped up in the excitement and the peer pressure of getting sloppy drunk with people who won’t even remember you were there come Saturday morning.
Or maybe it’s your friends trying to get you to go out. Maybe they keep begging you to stop by their pregame and spend the night chasing them through clubs and house parties. But you know what you really want.
You just want to smoke a blunt and curl up on the couch. You want to hit the bong, smoke a spliff and enjoy the wonders of toking, lighting and sparking up. Because that’s really the best kind of Friday night there is, isn't it?
No hangover, no money spent and no people to put up with. It’s just you and maybe a few friends, or maybe none at all.
It’s Netflix, Ben and Jerry's and your hilarious cat. And let’s be real here, the aftermath of taking a blunt to the face is never near that of the bottle.
However, I know it can be hard to tell all those people who act like it’s a personal offense if you don’t go out with them that you just want to stay in and smoke.
