These past couple of weeks, my wife has been complaining of dizzyness because of her pregnancy. It was happening in the morning when she got out of bed, in the evenings after lying there watching TV, it was making her really uncomfortable. She said the only solution was for her to get high, and she wanted my help. Reluctantly, I agreed. I checked with some of the major dealers, but they wanted too much money, hell, the Swedish dealer wanted over $200! Luckily, I knew a place, down in the wearhouse district off Grundy St. where I could get what she wanted for a lot less. This evening I went down there and scored just what the doctor ordered for only a little more than $50! I was pretty jazzed to have saved that much money. I came directly home, I’m pretty sure that nobody I know saw me. Getting it into the house was tricky, we had to make sure our young son Matthew was out of the way, but we successfully got it into the bedroom and closed the door. Now my wife is lying in there, nice and high with a smile on her face. I’m a good husband. 🙂 ( Although when I finish up here, I’m going into the bedroom and you better believe that I’ll be high too. 🆒 ) ---

Isn’t that kind of walking the tightrope of “promoting illegal activities”? I’m just saying. Unless of course, you guys are just drinking bootleg NyQuil. 🙂 ---

Is this a fucking joke? Your wife is smoking marijuana during pregnancy? ---

Grundy St? I know where that is. I lived in Baltimore for 30 years before moving out here. ---

There is nothing like having a husband who will get you high while you’re pregnant. Or any other time, for that matter. ---

Unless I miss my guess, he got her some sort of back rest or Obusforme type cushion. Right Dave? ---

In case youhaven’t figured this out by now, **Ilsa** , you got whooshed. Note that **Weirddave** ’s OP is completely ambiguous, since none of the terms therein are strictly exclusive to drugs; thus, I doubt he actually bought drugs. 'Course, if I’m wrong, **Dave** ’s got some 'splaining to do. ---

In my defense, the three posts before mine were not there when I posted. I don’t think **Ilsa** ’s that stupid by a long shot. He’s certainly smarter than I am, though that may well not be saying a great deal. :checking post times: I don’t know what my computer’s smoking, I did not leave the reply window up for more than thirty seconds, and those posts weren’t there. And now, since I’ve spent a minute or three composing this post, someone’s probably going to yell at me. Oh, well. ---

How does the higher bed keep you from being dizzy? I would think it would have the opposite effect. By the way, it was entirely clear to me that there were no drugs involved (although in about six months, you may be begging for some!!! ) Good luck and stay high! ---

Yeah, what’s the physics of that? You still gotta go from horizontal to vertical, don’t you? ---

Our bed was very low. This way, it is less of a struggle (or will be when I’m belly-heavy). I don’t know why it works, but I’m not as dizzy when I get up. ---

Maybe because your head has less vertical motion that way. Gotta admit, we’ve always gone for the high mattress and box spring thing. And Lady Chance isn’t suffering any dizziness. Keep me posted on the experiment. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/helping-my-wife-get-high/242186.md?page=2)
