If you’re of age and it’s legal where you live, most people probably just go to the store and get high at home. But how does a socially awkward yet careful teen without those kind of friends get into it, if such people do? You have to know who to buy it from, and once you get it, how do you smoke it? If you live with your parents and are never home alone for more than several hours, you might not have enough time for a good high. And what about tripping in nature or at someone else’s house? You can’t just teleport there, you have to walk or drive, the latter of which is very dangerous, I would imagine as bad as driving drunk, just in a different way. So is a good dose of the devil’s lettuce basically unattainable for the victims of upper middle class suburbanite comfort?
I think there’s a lot in this post about how times have changed. Notice the part about not being able to get time away from parents. Or not being able to get outside somewhere to smoke up. Kids these days don’t go out like we used to. Shit my brother and I used to haul our asses a couple of miles over some hills that had rattlesnakes to reach a video arcade. Our mom just made us carry a snakebite kit. OP now sits at home pecking at their phone asking how to go outside and gosh is it just impossible in suburbia? I am floored by this post.
They might have active parents lol. When I was growing up, very few parents cared what we were doing as long as we weren’t flipping cars or coming home in a police cruiser.
Yup, it’s more just this. I go outside all the time, but it’s not really normal in my house to leave and just not say anything, even though I’m about to be 20 now. I have to make an excuse for everything, and it’s not really feasible to just say I’m going for a walk and then spend the entire afternoon getting high at a park.
My friend, life is ticking by. Get out there or you’ll miss it. Good luck.
Is that you, Farris Bueller?
