Marijuana and Dinner: An Unexpected Memoir
Have you ever smoked marijuana before heading to a family dinner, only to find yourself engulfed in a surreal and chaotic experience you couldn't quite fathom? This is a tale from my 7th-grade self, a curious young-adult in Northern California, where marijuana is as common as morning coffee.
The Curiosity
Back in 1996, I was a product of my surroundings, living in an area where the culture of marijuana was as prevalent as the nearby woods. Intrigued by the stories and tales of the marijuana-experienced, I decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about.
The Adventure
It all began with a casual conversation and a makeshift pipe. Inside a 6-bedroom house, my friend and I seized the opportunity to indulge in the smoky goodness. After several hits, our laughter began to hilariously spiral out of control, leading to a mental chase scene. The real anxiety erupted when we hit the famous 'Huge bowl of MMs,' where my attempts at casualness crumbled under a flood of uncontrollable giggles.
The Trek Home
On our journey back to my house, a series of failing brakes and a steep driveway descent turned a seemingly simple journey into an adventurous slide down a ditch. But fear not, we made it to the dinner table in the nick of time, just in the nick of time!
The Dinner Table
Chicken tacos, fried flour tortillas - my favorite - were the meal of choice for this peculiar evening. Amidst the laughter, my anxiety peaked, leading to a series of blackouts and moments of utter confusion. My mother, however, remained oblivious, dining blissfully unaware of this chaotic moment in my life.
The Aftermath
How did my mother manage to remain oblivious? I asked her a few years back and she had no recollection of the events. I had to brush it off as an exaggerated tale of youthful endeavors gone awry. That moment taught me the often-blurred lines between reality and perception in the world of marijuana.
Lessons Learned
This story is a testament to the unpredictable nature of marijuana experiences, especially when shared with loved ones. It reminds us of the importance of considering our surroundings and the potential reactions of others. My experience, while overwhelming, also prompted me to reconsider the casualness with which I approach such substances.
