It’s a memory that will surely be familiar to many. There I was, a pot-naive teenager, sitting outdoors with a fairly thick joint that had been left with me by a friend. And then, an hour or so later, I was far too stoned than what I wanted to be because, unlike the immediate “hit” of bong-smoking, the effect of the hand-rolled form comes on more gradually. That’s right, I didn’t need to keep toking just because I wasn’t instantaneously wired.
But such occurrences shouldn’t be a cause for embarrassment, regardless of how experienced one was at the time, as it is still an issue in an era wherein the eighth US state legalized recreational cannabis use in November 2016. An idiom has even been coined, “Maureen Dowd-ed,” after the inexperienced columnist whose feverish polishing off of an edible in a transformed into a paranoia-ridden paralysis on the floor of a Denver hotel room.
But contrary to the tedious “stoner” stereotype, cannabis users have continued to approach their drug use with an increasing sophistication, alongside the developments of other psychedelics.
