Reading after edibles is so fun though. I mean everything is fun but maybe you haven’t tried it
I find when I’m stoned it’ll take me half an hour to read a single paragraph because I either get distracted and start thinking about something else mid sentence, or I’ll read the same paragraph several times because I forgot what I just read. The ADD is real lol
What happens if you also take some ADHD medication at the same time? Will your head implode into a black hole or something?
For me, if I’m only a little high while on my meds then I am able to read way faster. It’s like the calming effects of weed + focus from my meds lets me just fly through books. If I get actually high, then my meds don’t seem to have any affect anymore, and I just stare at one paragraph forever.
I hate reading after I’ve taken an edible.
My mind tends to wander super hard and I constantly get that thing where I read a paragraph word by word, but dont comprehend a larger meaning which then forces me to go back and re-read the paragraph. Repeat ad nauseum
This only works depending on how baked you are though. I worked for a major metropolitan public library system a long time ago, and one time a dude wandered in smelling heavily of weed, and wearing only one shoe. He came up to the circulation desk and asked to order a pizza. When informed that it was a library and didn’t have pizza, he blinked and looked around, and upon seeing all the shelves of books, he said “Oh.”, and then turned around and left. To this day I never know if he ever found some pizza or his other shoe.
To be fair, that’s on you. If libraries had pizzas, I would start visiting them.
For a time, while I was in court trying to get custody of my son, I was only given like 2 hours of parental time with him, once a week. Drop-off point was an hour from my home, so there wasn’t really much I could do with him apart from go to parks (in the summer) and the library. It was a life saver for just giving me time to be a Dad. Public libraries are one of the greatest things in human society, just a place you can go to exist as a person. Almost nothing is expected of you apart from wearing clothes, shoes, don’t masturbate where people can see you, and respect the books.
Society doesn’t exist for the sole benefit of the upstanding and idealized. I want libraries to exist for those striving to gain education for self betterment yes, I want them to exist as places of entertainment and existence for those down on their luck as well, but also a place where a person who is intoxicated in a way where they aren’t causing a disturbance can embrace the beauty of the world is also a valuable function.
And shit, I wish there could be weed and acid/shrooms days at zoos. I’d love to trip at a zoo
A corollary to “everything is a dildo, if you’re brave enough” would be “every day at the zoo is an acid/schroom day, if you’re brave enough”
