Mind Altering Substances, Bob Dylan, Incense, and Songwriting: Last Night Was Fun

I have no idea why I’m starting this thread, I can’t imagine that anyone will have anything to add, but I’m bored and I had a fun time last night, in the way that us latent hippies do.

I drove the (newly repaired) Jeep across Austin, went to my friend Patrick’s house, where his party was in progress. I met up with some other friends there, and we hung out did basic party stuff, then I spoke to my friend Rex who had copious amounts of beer in his truck (note: we had the cops called on this party early in the evening when Rex brought his bass-loaded truck around to Patrick’s and blasted rap music while some 50 kids hung around on the street. Rex can be an idiot.) It turns out that he wants to go back to his house and drink, but I have no desire to drive back across the city just to drink at Rex’s house, so he goes on with some other friends. Around this time, my pal Micah arrives, having just seen Monty Montgomery in concert.

Around this time there gets to be a panic at the party, because Rex dropped off a case of beer in Brian’s car, which was parked at my friend Paul’s house. In doing this, the alarm was set off, and Paul’s parents came out. He hid the beer under the car, and disaster was averted. Me and Micah went back to the party to tell people that everything was cool, then proceeded to the local grocery store, where we nicked an apple, a pen and some visine. Yeeeeah, you guessed it. Micah already had a screen, so we created a quick apple bong, then rode over to the elementary school to enjoy 3 bowls each of Micah’s excellent green. Quite stoned, I return to my home. Where I put Bob Dylan on and light some incense. I get into a calm, clear mind zone. I turn off the Dylan, walk to my keyboard, and improvise a kickass ambient/new age jam that lasts well over an hour. I sonically freaked myself out, which is a true accomplishment. It’s not easy to blow your own mind.

I finished the evening by listening to Garrison Keillor and going to bed, satisfied. That was fun.

You latent hippies have it too easy these days!

Apple bongs? Bah, this old hippie had to blow her own hash-oil pipes out of glass pipettes in chemistry class…risking burned fingers! We didn’t have no stinkin’ apples!

Rap music? We had to get stoned listening to Emerson, Lake & Palmers’ ‘Brain Salad Surgery’. Or the Beatles latest released album. Or the Who’s latest vinyl release.

We didn’t have no stinkin’ rap music!

The cheek of you youngsters!:slight_smile:

Hey, I don’t like rap music (with the exception of ICP, and then usually only when I’m stoned).

And it’s not worth it to keep permanent pipes around, too much chance of getting caught. Make an apple bong in 2 minutes, smoke, remove screen from bong, ditch apple. use Visine-A “redness relief formula”. Come on now, they know just what everyone’s thinking there. Visine is such a stoner product.

Anyways, I do like the simple joys that come when you’re stoned. It’s like being a little kid again, I always feel so innocent, and open. Awww, I love you man!!

Not that I’ve had any weed in a long time, or am likely to get any in the near future, but how do you make an apple bong?

Ingredients: One Apple, One Pen and One Screen.

Instructions: Pull stem out of apple, then stick the pen down the hole in top to make a hollowed out tube space. Then repeat the process on both sides of the apple, so that you have an apple with one hole on top, and one on either side, all connected. Now press the screen into the depression where the stem used to be.

Pack the bud in the bowl created by the screen, touch a lighter to it and suck through one of the holes while covering the other with your finger. You can release the other finger for a second to get some air mixed with your smoke. Repeat until you are stoned.

Visine? Hell, back in the day, we rubbed rock salt in our eyes to relieve the redness!:slight_smile:

I haven’t smoked any dope in twenty years…is it still good? It still (let me check my references) rocks?

I have MS, and my daughters have encouraged me to try pot to alleviate my symptoms. Would the weed of today knock me on my butt, or would I find comfort in the wafting clouds of purple haze? We do have a medical maryjane law in my state, but the Supreme Court would seem to have shot it down.

The Feds are harshing my buzz!:slight_smile:

And James wonders why I want parties to happen…

I don’t do drugs, but I love the happy friendlyness of a nice group of laid back kids with big ideas and nowhere to be.

small note though, in the future you might want to check with a mod before posting things like instructions for an apple bong. I know its all in good fun, but since its also illegal fun…well its a fine line. If you did that, I’ll go chew on my foot for a bit.

Truthbot, I have no doubt that if you smoked KB or Northern Lights it would knock you on your ass, but if it was just like some shwag you’d be fine. I take what I can get, and that usually means no choice, especially because I don’t usually pay for what I smoke.

Medea, I probably should have at least thought twice before posting that, but the mods haven’t emailed me and they haven’t posted here. This thread is by nature pretty delicate as far as drugs go, so I imagine they’ll be watching it pretty close. If we cross the line they’ll tell us.

I prefer to smoke from a water pipe whenever possible, so much smoother, your lungs don’t burn. I also like having permanent pipes, because every so often you can clean out all the resin from the inside, and pack bowls of that. It will get you superstoned. I have to recommend Northern Lights as far as great weed goes though, it’s available at fine dealers everywhere.
