I’m a happy drunk. Giddy. Goofy. Flushed face. Always laughing my ass off and doing goofy shit just makes me laugh more. But I can’t write when drunk. While drinking? Hell ya.
Only recently have indulged in the smoke. First time, had a hybrid of about 11% and was a really fun experience. I felt drunk. All my senses were heightened to the point of paranoia, but in that fun way. “Shh. Shh. Do you think they heard that?” And then laugh my ass off. I heard things I’d not heard before. But I was in no condition to write.
Then next time, I tried a much stronger version of sativa (19%) and got impatient, smoked too much, and experienced cotton mouth, and major sensory overload. It was like a strobe light was flashing in my brain on the highest setting, and a little monkey was slamming his cymbals together at the base of my brain at the back of my neck. I was wrecked. I considered calling an ambulance but I knew I only needed to go through this for two or three hours. What I didn’t know was that time vertically stood still. I’d close my eyes and try to focus on various things, trying to pass time. But when I would check my phone for time, thinking ten or fifteen minutes passed, it was usually just a minute or too. It was excruciating. I was in no condition to write.
Recently, I got another blend, this time a four strain blend, and tried again. I became detached from my self, unable to control my journey. That complete lack of control is something I do not like. Again, writing was a no go. If I drink too much, I get tired and sleep. Not with smoking, at least, not for me.
I’m not going to vape or try edibles, but I’d like to tinker with a bong. It’s quite possible, one puff of the magic smoke is all I need. Too much, and I’m baked and detached. No thank you.
But seriously, do I really need any chemical help to be more creative? I don’t think so. I don’t foresee me writing high, but a few rum and cokes, some limoncello, or a glass of vintage port loosens me up just enough to write. I think I need to do so this weekend. It’s been a while.
Makes sense. Smoking up IN ORDER TO BE creative is a different thing though. For some smoking weed is just for a mild high, or a soothing sensation. It's not QUITE like drinking coffee, but it's not as far off for me, for example, as most would think. It's certainly not a case of getting hammered or completely baked. For me, sometimes, it can be more like an accompaniment. At best a mild catalyst but hardly the harbinger of inspiration.
