Why I can't smoke weed, as told by animals Nov 16, 2012 First I’m like, Oh this is fun, let’s eat cookies… Then someone says something funny and I’m like, Oh shit, this is so great… And I start really laughing… And laughing even harder… And at some point I realize I’m laughing too hard…. So I try to stop… But I can’t, and now I’m the only one still laughing… So I get embarrassed… And start worrying I’m being weird… Then I wonder if anyone else can tell I’m worried… And I think they probably can… So I eat something to hide my weirdness… And I keep on eating… And that starts to get out of control… And suddenly I’m uncontrollably sleepy… So I go home and pass out… And the next day I’m like, Why did I smoke weed last night, that was so unnecessary.
