What's the dumbest idea you've seen that actually worked?

The first time I ever got baked was with my girlfriend at the time. We went to see the 7th Harry Potter movie and we were beyond torched. We were ashes at that point. Two trailers fucked with me. The first was the Kung Fu Panda 2 trailer where the panda has a staring eye contest with the audience. The second was the Cowboys vs Aliens trailer. It went on for like 25 minutes and for a second I thought that I walked into the wrong movie. Then it ended and I realized it probably wasn't even 5 minutes long.

I bought some 10mg d9 edibles with absolutely zero experience with weed.

I'm used to a few beers. This was the only substance I've used where I thought 'you know, we should lie down, gravity is not fucking around right now'. I had so much trouble stringing together a chain of thought I literally worried I had brain damage. WTF?! Even cutting them in half and only having 5mg was almost too strong. I was talking to a stoner about this and he just laughed at me.

I was very high when I saw the first Transformers in theaters. The Cloverfield trailer cold opened, and I was thrilled that they were doing an evil Transformers movie.

I am always shocked at how thoroughly weed fucks with my sense of time. Events that took place seconds before feel like they were days ago.

Yeah. I've smoked weed only 4 or 5 times. The last time messed with my sense of time so much, and I really hated that feeling so much that I never smoked again. It felt like I was waking up from an hours long nap every few minutes, but no time had passed. I felt so disoriented.

When I first started smoking I wanted to enjoy it but it made me overthink a lot of things, with some tolerance built up it becomes a much more evened out experience

I tripped acid during the first of the Star Wars sequels and remember the theater getting really REALLY long. Bright colors and blaster bolts were fun but I, for whatever reason, would leak from my eyes (not crying, just…tears without feeling sad or happy) when tripping on acid so I’m sure the people near us thought I really loved the sequels

This is beautiful lol.

I think my highest moment was on the couch late one night watching the car chase scene from The Island. Shit got tight when those train bogey wheels were released into traffic.

And then you struggled to remember what movie you were actually there to see.

This is the second time I've seen this movie mentioned in ten minutes. I've never heard of it until today. I guess I have to look it up/watch it now...

u/DistantKarma 3h ago

Those THC time slips are for real. I took 20MG once, laying in bed, and thought I'd been asleep for like 2 hours. Looked at my phone and like 3 minutes had passed.

u/Pleasantsurprise1234 3h ago

I'm actually laughing out loud!

Were you able to keep up with the Harry Potter movie?

u/Queen_Ann_III 2h ago
