As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me

Much like your career after being dumped by Mikey

Today’s marijuana has little to no resemblance to the marijuana of the sixties and seventies.

[justlurking]

Reads like Reefer Madness.

[dainbramaged]

Sounds like some good stuff - do they ship fedex?

[discostu]

Everybody gets a bad run once in a while. Little bit of Alman Brothers would have fixed her right up.

It aint yo daddie's weed.

One single decent bud = an entire dime bag of the 70's weed. Selective breeding and hybridization has ushered modern weed into the heroin spectrum of effect.

Today's weed is not for the 70's excpectation crowd. It is a real jaunt down the rabbitt hole Ms. Dowd, you old has been saggy azzed dried up hack.

Rules are rules:

[Half Vast Conspiracy]

This isn’t your dad’s Mary Jane. The stuff now if very potent. And, claims from the past that MJ doesn’t cause permanent damage can be flushed. We won’t know the full effects of this new stuff for years.

"I strained to remember where I was or even what I was wearing, touching my green corduroy jeans and staring at the exposed-brick wall. As my paranoia deepened, I became convinced that I had died and no one was telling me."

"I felt a scary shudder go through my body and brain. I barely made it from the desk to the bed, where I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours. I was thirsty but couldn't move to get water. Or even turn off the lights. I was panting and paranoid,

"That's GOOOOOD SH&T!!!" < /C.Manson, expert >

[Defiant]

Too bad no man would be willing to be near her to watch out for things like that.

[I want the USA back]

MD is right this time. And what about the states that are actively pushing pot? How can they justify that?

[Pearls Before Swine]

She should have watched the desert mescaline scene from “Beavis and Butthead Do America” to maintain her perspective. It might have been available on the hotel room TV.

[RginTN]

Hmm, a glass of beer or wine doesn’t create those side effects. They relax you but one glass doesn’t induce paranoia.

[bigbob]

meh, she probably just got a good look in a mirror

[RegulatorCountry]

I barely made it from the desk to the bed

Not the first time, I'd wager.

Hey, I wanna party with you girl. Nothing says fun like a paranoid, hallucinating NYT columnist curled up on the bed for 8 hours unable to distinguish reality.

[ßuddaßudd]

I too stay away from edibles

I felt a scary shudder go through my body and brain. I barely made it from the desk to the bed, where I lay curled up in a hallucinatory state for the next eight hours.

I've often felt this way after reading one of Maureen's screeds. But I'm not a regular user of her columns.
