Objects in mirror are higher than they appear

Back from the hospital yesterday; I am out of green besides the resin in my pipe... so I smoked that. I was going to save it until my friends finally got things together and sent me a box of goodies (which I'm still looking forward to by the way).

I was reminded of the one of the first rules of being stoned: ALWAYS TREAT YOURSELF AS IF YOU'RE MORE STONED THAN YOU ARE (there is a decent chance you are anyway). It has been so long since I stoned on a regular basis that I'd forgotten that I'm actually more stoned than I think I am. After all, I'm stoned what the fuck do I know. It was a close call that I pulled myself back from going upstairs to go get food, even with a nice stash down here already.

With difficulty, I contained myself, locking myself in my room with cheez-its and my computer. I watched the sperm and eggs on my itunes visualizer dance to the music. Then blogged. I'm having to relearn all the lessons I knew before anyway. So much for experience.

An Awesome Scale of Highness


This is on of the most concise and accurate scales I've found. Where am I now? Sadly sober... to change in the near future.

Let it be said that something like this IS really necessary. When on the phone during my latest stonerish fun, I asked someone how I they thought I was from 1 to 7. On this universal scale I would have been a 6 to a 7. Good thing I'm a high functioning stoner or using the phone would have been beyond me.

Lonely Stoner Syndrome

Being alone, stoner-wise, I am forced to smoke alone in my bathroom. I’m living with my Aunt, Uncle, and my mother. I love them all dearly. They’ve all been a support when I needed them. So I’m trying to be considerate of them and my nephlews and not leave my stuff reeking of pot.

So I stone in a bathroom with the fan turned up all the way. Not ideal situation, but I love them so I’ll make due.

I’m badly suffering from lonely stone syndrome. Though I smoked alone occasionally, getting stoned was still always a communal thing. It was a gathering, a tribal meeting. One that you could carry with you and do in cars. The best times were always in nature. I’d have to say getting stoned in a tree full of people was one of the best group activities. Beats scrabble any day. Oooo. But scrabble in a tree.

So anyway, lonely stoner syndrome. When one smokes alone you get so caught up in a fast rhythm, there being no one else to pass to. It's easy to get caught up and get far more stoned sooner than you were planning, getting caught up in all these sensations that my senses were missing. So the bowl empties far faster than I was expecting.

Something is missing… the atmosphere, the talking and laughing. I love to talk to friends on the phone, but it isn’t the same. I can webcam but like the lazy procrastinator that I am, I keep forgetting to get the password from my uncle (proof that pot doesn’t make you lazy, I‘ve been managing that for years before pot). And even so, webcams only offer a tiny windows into people’s lives; it is hell to be kept on the other side of a window from those you love for months. But so is life.

And so you can tell, I’m stoned at the moment. Best to document on site.

I managed to keep this small stash from before I came, having managed to smuggle a little home with me for a week. Or so I thought. It’s been stored in its smelly-proof bad in the secret pocket of my backpack while I’ve been sitting in the hospital. I can finally enjoy.

My mother still being the overprotective hawk she is, watches me with a keen eye. It is not as bad as she was when I was in the hospital, but still. In the evening she spends her nights upstairs while I stone in the bathroom 2 floors down.
I’m so very tactile at the moment. Knowing from experience that I’m tactile when I’m fresh (there was a reason that I started in trees). Every key is a tiny little imput of data to my brain. And it loves every second of it. At some point, I will return to my half a bowl.

You have no idea how hard it was, when I fell into that rhythm. The bowl is tiny, compared to what I used to smoke. It’s a small straight tube of glass, having smuggled this as well. Many of you may have seen these as they were on sale at Christmas at Mello Yello. The bowl should be small enough that it won’t kill me. But to force myself to stop at half a bowl? Seems inhumane. It should be passed around, shared. With loved ones all around.

This turtle has finally been returned to the water. But the waters he knew are far way in the mountains.

Reminder, I will have a separate post about this, but everyone should help think of names for the piece. I’ll be detailed and everyone should get stoned and think on that.

About Me

The gimpy stoner turtle

I am a veteran stoner who, by fate and a car crash, came to Baltimore, MD. I was in the Hospital for 3 months due to the fact I broke both arms and fractured my sprine. It left me paralyzed below the waste. I’ve worked my ass off getting one full leg back (right), but I still can’t move. I am now living with an aunt and uncle. For the first time I am able to smoke green again.

This represents a singular moment. I am a veteran able to go through being a virgin stoner and able to document the process. I have other blogs but all more legit. This is for the friends who wanted to know more about what is going on in my life; since my friends are all stoners too I figured they might be interested how im flying these days.

So here goes.
