you know you're a pothead when...

[uncle ray]

you forget that you were in High Times magazine.

:smoke:

the other night, hanging out with some friends, we were discussing our best concert experiences. i told of one of my favorites, Hemp Aid (1998 IIRC)at the former Rainbow Farm in Michigan, basically a bunch of neo-hippies camping, watching live music and of course, getting as stoned as possible. then my girlfriend reminds me of a fact i had completely forgotten for years, that my picture was in the High Times coverage of the event! i was standing facing Tommy Chong who was signing autographs, it was quite a surprise at the time to see my picture in the mag, oddly enough, i recognized the t-shirt i was wearing before i recognized myself! my girlfriend was pissed because when the picture was taken, she had jsut ran back to the tent to grab our VHS tape of Up In Smoke for Tommy Chong to sign, so she was absent from the pic, instead some other attractive young lady was standing next to me.

so how about your stupid stoner story?

[ellisonz]

1. I once got out of a car and kicked over a sprinkler head in the grass next to the curb.

On the fundie neighbors yard, next to the friend we were picking up.

I got dampened...

:smoke: :smoke:

[SKKY]

2. What did the Deadhead say to the other Deadhead when the pot ran out???

"Dude, this band sucks!"

[noonwitch]

3. Did you read the book about Rainbow Farm?

I never went there, but my sister lived in Elkhart, IN during the farm's heyday, and still has a friend or two in nearby Edwardsburg. Everyone in those kinds of towns knows everyone else.

I read the book-it was very interesting and sad. The story didn't get a lot of national coverage, because 9-11 happened shortly afterwards. The people that I had the most sympathy for, in the long run, were the local cops. They were trying to end the standoff without bloodshed, but the prosecutor called in first the MSP then the Feds and that was pretty much it.

14. i hadn't read the book

but was fairly aware of what happened at the time, and a few months ago reread newspaper articles that were on the internets about it to refresh my memory.

it's a sad story for sure. if anyone's not familiar with what happened, it's worth checking out, easy to find using the google.

4. None of my current friends

were around in those days. Then agian those former friends went away as soon as I abstained.

5. you sit in front of the takeout window at a CLOSED McDonald's

for 45 minutes before you realize that the restaurant is no longer open, and probably hasn't been open for several months.

And that there's a grand opening for the NEW McDonald's going on across the street.

So you drive over there, and your car is quickly surrounded by both Mayor McCheese and the Hamburgler, which become really, really, really scary, because you're in no mental state to deal with outsized fictional characters at the present moment.

6. You slam the brakes on your car, regardless of where you are, if the word "cops" is uttered.

Ah, college.

[mainegreen]

7. I always functioned pretty well stoned, so I don't really have any good stories.

Other than I can write some pretty fucking crazy code when stoned. Mmmmm, programming stoned. It's great, you reach this totally zen level of code nirvana.
Of course I totally don't comment my code when stoned, so it makes it hard to figure out what the hell is going on in the code later.

Yup, I'm a boooring stoner.

But tequila stories? That's another matter!

[Arkansas Granny]

9. Did I hear someone say tequila? I'm sure I have some of those

stories, but I can't (or would rather not) remember very many of them.

:hi:

[uncle ray]

15. hell, i still fuction well stoned too

it's the memory that fails me!

funny how many straight people just don't get how for some of us a few tokes can set our brain straight and we can be more productive stoned than sober. many times at work i'll be stumped with a bit of trig or something(i'm a machinist) go out and have a smoke and come back and work it out on the first stoned try. maybe i should be on some prescription drug, but i like pot better.

[Roon]

8. I stopped for a stop sign once

and waited for it to turn green! I know there's a joke that says that, but it really happened to me once.

[youthere]

10. You know you're a pothead when..

you blow your entire grocery budget on twinkies, fritos, beef jerky and lard.

[Lyric]

11. Lard!

[rknryd]

12. er, I don't remember

MMmmmmm poptarts:9

[underpants]

13. ... you take a VHS tape with you when you camp

Not that I would know mind you.

[uncle ray]

16. haha.

well my excuse is we knew Tommy Chong was gonna be there, he was the headlining musical performer.

an addendum to the story. my girlfriend did get to meet Tommy Chong once, we had front row seats at his standup show, he comes out on stage, walks right up to my GF and first thing he says, "boy, she's got some big-uns, huh!?"

:bounce:

[rknryd]

19. Heh

:smoke: What was the question again:popcorn:

[SPKrazy]

17. Well Once I Saw Someone In A Car Like Mine

and I became convinced for a bit that I was driving the wrong car and I needed to get out and get my car.

:rofl: :rofl:

I was the person they made the card: Are you stoned or just stupid? for

18. the munchies

While in an altered state, my friend and I went back to my house....I was a teenager at the time.....we snuck in my room, developed a horrible case of the munchies....in the dark I snuck into the kitchen, opened the cabinet and grabbed the first box I could get my hands on.. snuck back into the room...opened the box and we both ended up eating the entire contents of the snack crackers like we were starving to death. I glanced at the top of the box when we finished........the crackers had an expiration date of nearly 2 years before. Needless to say, we started laughing and finally stopped laughing about 30 minutes later....ahh the memories
