That’s a story that someone would make up who never smoked weed.

Reading after edibles is so fun though. I mean everything is fun but maybe you haven’t tried it

Try reading on a few hits of LSD. 10/10 experience except when you get deja vu when reading a new book and then descend into madness before returning to the book.

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

It is harder but I read my comfy books I memorised almost already so it isn’t a problem if I lose track and regain it page later. for me the visualisations when reading get much more immersive and alive if I can get past the suddenly loud narrator voice, it’s pretty funny

Jon Stewart being a stoner and Bob Saget being a coke-head were both such fantastic casting choices.

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

Same! I find that things like listening to music way more fun. Oddly enough the songs feel like they last longer too

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 saw recently my local library has started to prohibit kids from simply hanging out at the library. Not all are the same.

Edit: context.

Time to get active in your community to fix that. Whoever came up with that policy should be fired.

Might be local parents that pushed for it, honestly. It’s become a popular style of parenting. I call it the bonsai method.

Let’s not ignore that they seem to have an issue they’re trying to address with limited resources, also give them more resources

I think people are getting angry at the symptom and not cause.

The cause is that children and teens don’t have anywhere to go, so they all went to the library. I imagine you have different groups of children/teenagers interacting with each other causing problems.

Instead of getting mad at the library, we all should be getting mad at community for not providing other options for children/teenagers to go. Places like skate parks, community centers, drop in programs, etc. places were children/teenagers can go hang out free.

That is super fucked. Going to the library, grabbing a stack of comics, and then settling down in a quiet corner to read them was one of my happy places as a kid.

I had a library card, but I didn’t bother checking out stuff I could just read during the hours I hung out at the library. And the place was comfy, quiet heaven.

op just edited their comment. seems like just hanging out without reading books is not prohibited. reading books, be it comics and whatnot, is fine.

That letter makes it sound like sitting in the corner and reading stuff in the library is fine.

It seems to suggest that there are some shitty parents trying to use it as a free day care and letting their shitty kids trash the place, which only makes things more difficult for the kids trying to use it like a library.

Our local libraries literally encourage kids to loiter there. They have tons of programs, activities, and events throughout the week aimed at younger and older kids alike. There’s even sections dedicated to all demographics with toys for younger kids and anime/videogames/,etc for older kids.

That’s how it should be. As a childless 30 year old I want kids hanging out at libraries. Ideally I’d like them reading and discussing literature, but just being somewhere that they have access to information is better than not

I literally just finished a chapter of a book whilst toking a spliff, and then I see this meme lol.

I’m reading Blue Rage, Black Redemption if anyone is curious. I think I’m reaching the end, so I’m up for any recommendations perhaps autobiographical. The one I enjoyed before this was the NOFX Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories.

Have you read “South of the Pumphouse” by Les Clay pool? It’s not non-fiction, but it was the first book I thought of when I saw NOFX in your comment.

Does “The Electric Kool aid Acid Test” count as non-fiction?

I haven’t read either, however I do respect Les so I’ll be giving that a shot.

Definitely interested in the latter, Google says it’s non fiction. Thank you! Very interesting choices I haven’t heard of :) I’ll be… Obtaining them soon.
