What was your experience?

Here's Parkins experience:

I called my cousin and told him I smoked and “didn’t have any joints. He said it’s ok one of your friends probably has one you can get in on and I said no, I couldn’t feel my shoulders, elbows, or knees. Ya know, joints.”

Walking home from caddying the summer before freshman year of high school. Was walking with a St. Laurence kid who I had helped out while we were caddying together. I had guilt issues, and was afraid, but the guy was cool, so by the time we got to 87th and California Avenue, I said the hell with it.

He pulled out a bomber. At first I didn't inhale, and so he told me what to do. Inhaled twice. Second time, he told me to stop; "you're gonna smoke the whole thing!" For a second, I thought I was gonna pass out; all I saw was the joint blazing in front of me. Everything else was kind of black, but the next thing I know, I was handing the bomber back to him. He saved the roach and tucked it with great care into his Newports. Then he turned to me and said, "Feel anything?" I said no, because I didn't.

By the time we got to Kedzie I was asking how many golf balls killed bats. Then we got to the cemetery and the kid said something so funny that we both laughed for five minutes (maybe longer?). I was laying on the grass, my head on an in-ground cemetery marker. I wondered if it was my grandpa's, who I thought was buried here. How long has he been dead? my benefactor asked. I thought about it. "You know, he's actually still alive." I can't recall my thought process.

He went right at the tracks and I kept going. I knew I was too wasted to go home so I stopped at a few friends' houses. I was pretty paranoid that my parents would find out.

I feel like I'm turning into JORR.

My first time getting high wasn't what I thought it would be. I had been around people who smoked weed but I was a drinker. I would occasionally hit the weed but never got high. One day I told myself that I would swallow all of the smoke to see it that made me get high. It did and it also made me feel like my heart was going to explode. I said my first bullshit prayer of my life. I wasn't going to smoke again if I was allowed to live.

How old were you, Nas?

I was in 7th grade and smoked a joint after school in a park with some guys from school I wasn’t very good friends with. Heard them talking about it at school and told them I’d be down. Met up with them, got pretty high, joked around and then I rode my bike home. Pretty uneventful but I knew from the start I liked smoking weed.

One night when I was seventeen I went with three friends into a house that was under construction and smoked a sizable joint. When we went to leave my car wouldn't start so we pushed it a quarter of a mile to my friend's house. The whole way back we were laughing like a bunch of retards.

First year at Champaign, started puffing with some kids I went to high school with. Nothing particularly memorable, but the girl who had the weed ended up getting sent to Israel the next year and the rest of the crew left within two years for various reasons.

As a youth I had zero interest, great motivation to not try it even though I had plenty of opportunities if it floated my boat. As an adult I’m not around it much and don’t have tons of interest when I am around it. Hell, I’m not even drinking anymore.

Never smoked the reefer.

Only crack.

Yeah, I haven't drank in two and a half decades, and I rarely get high anymore (been getting paranoid on it . . . plus, the kids).

But someone recently shipped a good batch to this state because I smell skunk all over the South Side, South Suburbs, and all the way down 57. I understand that you might smell skunk outside the city, and I have, but not like this. Some powerful weed out there, it seems.

They used to have a Venetian Festival here to celebrate the river, had a barge with some mid-level bands play (think Great White). Boats tied up five or six deep along the river, the guy in the boat next to my buddy's offered to share his joint. I took him up on it. That, mixed with a dozen Milwaukees Best and an elephant ear or six had me blowing chunks in the little blue hut about a half hour later.

Never again. Now it's legal here in The Mitten, Mrs. K has expressed some interest, her mom uses the oil for pain relief. I would lose my job, obviously.

I lived on the second floor of carmen hall at EIU. Didnt get high until until I went to university.
2nd weekend there my roomie asked me if I wanted to smoke with him. We had 3 one hitters. Actually it was a one hitter he had rodded out and he called his "well over one hitter".
So we smoked. And sat listening to enigma for a while. Perhaps he was gay.
Anyhow I needed some groceries.
I had microwave popcorn. But we had to go to the common for a microwave. So I walked down to the lobby then down to the basement to pop some cheddar pop secret.
I took the elevator back. Got in on the basement. Hit 2. When the elevator got to the lobby 4 Charleston cops got in with me. I'm shaking my popcorn and trying not to look baked. they also hit 2.
One cop says to another hey you smell that? The other says yuup, unmistakable. I said you guys smell popcorn? Want some? Cop said nope, cant have what were smelling while on duty. The other two cops laughed.

Yeah, I am behind on the lingo, too....but it still smells like a skunk.....

I was 15. My friend talked me into trying it and I said... what the hell why not. We smoked for a while and I wasn’t feeling much but I had to get home before I was late for curfew. After a quick spray of some Coolwater, I’m walking thru the door feeling confident that I won’t get caught. My mom is getting ready for bed and she says, we ordered pizza and I left it on the counter for you. Put away the rest after you grab a plate. I say thanks and she goes to bed. I proceed to grab the entire thing and take it to my room. It’s fall but my room feels warm so I open the window and turn on the fan and start watching The Great Outdoors on TNT or TBS. I eat all the pizza and the movie seems like it’s been on for 7 hours. Then I start shaking really bad and I think ‘holy shit, I’m having a seizure!!!’ I realize that it’s November and I’m sitting in my boxers with the fan blasting and window open, I’m shivering not having a seizure. That’s about the time I made the connection that I was higher than shit.

Actually.... it was August 27, 1977. My 16th birthday. International Amphitheater. Burton Cummings also was on the bill.

Anyone here ever gotten high during a board outing?
