Transcripts
Don:
Hey there, and welcome to another episode of Cannabis Stories where we share
Don:
the wild, funny, and sometimes downright bizarre tales from the world of weed.
Don:
Today’s story is about a first-timer’s high.
Don:
You know, that unforgettable experience when someone takes their first puff
Don:
of the magic herb and things...
Don:
well, they don’t exactly go as planned.
Don:
Sit back, relax, and enjoy this hilarious tale of Sam’s First Dance with Mary Jane.
Don:
So, let me set the scene for you.
Don:
Sam is your typical 30-something guy, a bit of a late bloomer when
Don:
it comes to the cannabis world.
Don:
He’s never really been into weed – not for any particular
Don:
reason, just never had the urge.
Don:
But after hearing all his friends rave about how relaxing it is and
Don:
how it can make a Friday night movie marathon ‘so much better,’ he decides,
Don:
What the heck, let’s give this a try.
Don:
Sam’s not one to dive headfirst into anything without a little research.
Don:
So, he reads up, asks a few friends, and settles on trying an edible.
Don:
Because, you know, smoking seems a bit intense for a first-timer, and edibles?
Don:
They’re just like a snack, right?
Don:
Now, here’s where things get interesting.
Don:
Sam’s friend, let’s call him Dave, is the self-proclaimed ‘weed guru’ of the group.
Don:
Dave gives Sam a brownie – a delicious, innocent-looking
Don:
square of chocolatey goodness.
Don:
And here’s the key detail: Dave says, ‘Sam, only eat half.
Don:
Trust me on this.
Don:
Edibles hit different.
Don:
But Sam – bless his cautious heart – decides to take it slow.
Don:
He cuts the brownie into quarters, figuring, ‘Hey, I’ll
Don:
start small and see how I feel.
Don:
So, Sam eats his tiny piece of brownie, sits back on the couch, and waits.
Don:
And waits.
Don:
And waits some more.
Don:
After about 45 minutes, nothing’s happening.
Don:
Sam’s just sitting there, feeling completely normal.
Don:
So, he thinks, ‘Okay, maybe this isn’t enough.
Don:
Maybe I need to eat more.’
Don:
You know where this is going, right?
Don:
So, Sam eats another quarter.
Don:
And then another.
Don:
And still, nothing.
Don:
At this point, he’s feeling a bit cheated.
Don:
He’s thinking, ‘What’s the big deal?
Don:
Why is everyone so hyped about this?
Don:
I don’t feel a thing
Don:
Another 30 minutes go by, and now Sam’s eaten the entire brownie.
Don:
Every last crumb.
Don:
And that, dear listeners, is when the universe decided to flip the switch.
Don:
Suddenly, it hits him.
Don:
Like a freight train.
Don:
Sam’s sitting on his couch when, out of nowhere, his body feels like
Don:
it’s melting into the cushions.
Don:
His arms are heavy, his legs are heavy, heck, even his thoughts are heavy.
Don:
He tries to get up, but gravity’s got him in a death grip.
Don:
Panic sets in – you know, that classic ‘Oh no, I’m too high’ moment.
Don:
And then, as if things weren’t bad enough, Sam’s stomach starts growling.
Don:
The munchies have arrived, and they’re demanding snacks.
Don:
But here’s the catch: Sam’s too high to move.
Don:
He’s staring at the kitchen like it’s miles away, knowing that
Don:
if he could just make it to the fridge, everything would be okay.
Don:
But the fridge might as well be on the moon.
Don:
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Don:
Sam does the only thing he can think of – he calls Dave.
Don:
And the conversation goes something like this:
Ethan:
‘Dave...
Ethan:
I think I’m dying.
Henry:
‘What?
Henry:
What happened?
Ethan:
‘The brownie...
Ethan:
I ate the whole thing.
Henry:
Dude, I told you to eat half!
Henry:
How do you feel?
Ethan:
I can’t feel anything...
Ethan:
except hunger.
Ethan:
Help!
Don:
Dave, being the good friend he is, rushes over with a survival kit – chips,
Don:
cookies, and a gallon of orange juice.
Don:
Because, according to Dave, orange juice is the magical cure for being too high.
Don:
So there they are, Sam sprawled out on the couch, stuffing his face with
Don:
snacks while Dave tries to reassure him that he’s not, in fact, dying.
Don:
Eventually, Sam’s high starts to mellow out.
Don:
He’s no longer convinced that the couch is trying to eat him, and he
Don:
can finally move his limbs again.
Don:
The rest of the night is a blur – a mix of giggles, munchies, and that
Don:
deep, philosophical conversation about the universe that seems to
Don:
come naturally when you’re stoned.
Don:
By the next morning, Sam’s feeling back to normal, though a bit embarrassed.
Don:
He swears he’s never touching edibles again, but deep down, he
Don:
knows he’s got a story for the ages.
Don:
And that, my friends, is how Sam learned the golden rule of
cannabis:
respect the edible.
cannabis:
So, whether you’re a seasoned stoner or a curious newbie, just remember – start
cannabis:
slow, know your limits, and maybe have a friend like Dave on speed dial.
