I probably should have posted about it around the time that it actually happened like a normal person, but, ya know, normal's not particularly what I'm known for. Anyway, like a week and a half ago, I tried smoking the coveted mary-ja-waynus for the first time. I just left from doing piss poor at an FNM and the topic came up with a few of my friends that I had never partaken before. So they invite me over to try it and I say yes out of curiosity and innocent, boyish like confidence. (it was absolutely fucking nerve wrecking for me in my head, but they didn't need to know that) They didn't have any bowls or bongs or even any classy beverage cans to smoke it out of, so they just poked holes into a Canada Dry soda'r can. The least of classy of drinks. We had to go outside to smoke because they didn't want the house to reek of our shame, which sucked because it was 3:00AM and the weather was nearly Han Solo in Carbonite degrees. I was shaking like an older fellow with the Parkinson's who was far more disgruntled than usual. When the shitty titty can was passed to me, I burnt my thumb trying to ignite the precious baggy fruit because neither of them told me I had to inhale while I lit the flame. Trusting them to fill me in on the "need to know" was a beginner's mistake. After I actually filled my lungs with the dried up crisps of a once-plant. . . . abso-fucking-lutely NOTHING happened. I didn't feel any different, I didn't act any different, I barely even got any vomit in my hair. This causes me to believe that I may in fact be a super hero who's impervious to the tainting musk that is marijuana. Worst, super power, EVER. Disappointing to say the least. So they just went to sleep and I stayed up listening to music until I too went to sleep in a kind of bummed laze. One of them woke me up later and had said "Dereck, wake up. Someone just texted me and they sad you're missing." Apparently I had forgotten to let anyone know where I had gone and a few people had thought I'd run off for rapin' or something. . . I kind of hoped I would have seen milk cartons with my picture on them like in the good ol' days of missing people, but alas, I did not. So that's pretty much the tale of my first toke. Pretty miserable to say the least, but there's a good chance I may try it again. I blame Canada Dry.
