I Tried Edibles and It Wasn’t a Nightmare

My First Experience with Weed in 18 Years

The last time I touched weed in any form I was a sophomore in college. As difficult as it is to grasp, that was nearly 18 years ago. A child born the night I last smoked pot is now only three years away from being able to legally purchase it in the state of Arizona. Holy shit, things have changed since those days!

My History with Weed

I was never big on smoking weed. I did it a few times while I was in high school, usually after having large amounts of alcohol. I can only think of three times in my entire life I did it without mixing it with booze. The first experience was kind of enjoyable. A friend and I were trying to buy beer from one of our normal bootleggers. When we came to pick up our case of Bud Light there was a joint being passed around the apartment. We each took a couple of turns through the rotation. We spent the night laughing and constantly repeating the phrase: “I’m laughing because you’re laughing.”

That experience wasn’t terrible, but I didn’t love that I felt really dumb the next day. That would be a common experience for me when I smoked weed either by itself or while drinking alcohol. I always felt really dumb for a day or two. This is one of the two reasons I stayed away from weed most of my life.
