Stoner Thoughts: 42 Things Only 'High You' Realizes
Regardless of when you first tried pot – whether that was in high school, in the stall of one of the bathrooms, or in college to the soundtrack of some Wiz Khalifa – there's a good chance, from that point on, your life changed forever.
That's the nature of pot, at least from what I've heard: It changes you. Welcome to the wacky world of mind-altering substances. And for the most part, after a few puffs, you'll enjoy your stay.
I mean, a little weed can make super high-strung people as "chill" as the Fonz with a syringe full of horse tranquilizer in his upper cheek.
It can make television docudramas, on Lifetime Movie Network, popcorn-worthy. It can even give sh*tty basketball players the impression that they're good at basketball.
At the same time, it's important to remember that everyone's experience with marijuana is unique. Sometimes you'll hit the bong and feel worry free. Other times, you might exhale, and feel paranoid about everyone in the room watching (and whispering about) you. Each high is different.
All the same, you're bound to come to realizations about yourself and the world – regardless of your high's individual essence. And while these realizations might be weird, even disturbing, perchance – they're important.
Very important, man, even if they don't necessarily make any sense. Use the plot from "The Big Lebowski," for instance. That sh*t was super confusing, but it was also vital.
Your high epiphanies are no different, except, ultimately, they might not be so "vital." In the spirit of 4:20, here are 42 realizations you'll only stumble upon while high.
