Goodbye Mary Jane: 61 Signs Your Stoner Life Is Ending

What do you mean drug tested? That’s for everything but weed, right? No? NO? So I can’t smoke? What do you mean, "random"? What are you telling me? Please don’t say what I think you’re saying.

Whether you were forced to quit the pipe, bong, joint or vape by sheer force or from personal discipline (although, I don’t know why), there comes a time in your stoner life when you just can’t hack it (or hit it) any longer… or at least not the way you used to.

Whether it’s the job, the relationship or the fast-paced lifestyle you feel you’re missing out on, sometimes our old friend Mary Jane needs to take a backseat for a little while.

It’s not because you couldn’t handle her. Oh, you handled her. But more because you’re in your twenties and sometimes you don’t always want to be seen taking her to lunch or those meetings she might embarrass you in.

Because all of a sudden you just can’t be high all the time.

You can’t just forget the name of the restaurant because you were baked or cross the street without looking both ways because you were busy thinking about 9/11 conspiracies.

It's a dangerous world out there, and growing up means accepting that sometimes you must put down the bong and pick up the beer.
