Okay, call me a goody two shoes.....never drank until I was legal, never been drunk except once when I found out ex was cheating on me, never did street drugs. I just went into the visitor's bathroom (employee one was in use) and someone had just been in there smoking pot! Getting a bit of a headache.

LOL

Marijuana tends to give people a raging case of the 'munchies'........after smoking it (or even inhaling it secondhand), they get hungry and start chomping on cereal, crackers, popcorn, nuts, almost ANYTHING in sight---especially if it's crunchy! In fact, that's why Marinol was developed---it helps increase appetite in cancer pts./AIDS pts. etc.

Not that I personally would know anything about this........ahem.........;)

Yup... anything crunchy... even a packet of dehydrated just-add-water vegetarian chili mix straight out of the packet... um... not that I would know anything about this either...

Reminds me of the time, now about 10 years ago, when my hubby and I watched Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke" with our then-adolescent daughters. We are, admittedly, part of the generation that had to say "Do as I say, not as I did" to our children as they were growing up, and part of the reason for watching this was educational........as in, look at those potheads, what a couple of losers, etc. etc.

Well, even after a bunch of years (and a lot of growing up on our own part), we found ourselves laughing at this film, just like we had in the old days when we'd go to the drive-in, in a seedy part of San Diego, to see C & C movies. Smoke would just be rolling out of the cars, people would be running back and forth to the concession stand..........Anyway, we all got a kick out of the thing, explained a few basic truths to the girls, and sent them off to bed.

About fifteen minutes later Bill and I happened to meet in the kitchen---he was chomping merrily on a fistful of Fritos, and I had my arm buried up to the elbow in a box of Lucky Charms. When we realized what we were doing, we both burst out laughing: we'd gotten the 'munchies' just from watching the flippin' movie!!!:lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Years ago when I worked in surgery, we had four second-floor OR suites that were not used during the weekend (they were used for plastic surgeries and eye surgeries during the week) and the rest of the suites were on the first floor. One Monday when a nurse went into a storage room on the second floor, she found seven empty beer cans, the remains of two joints, a plastic bag with weed residue, and two condom wrappers! SOMEONE was having a little party up there apparently! Unfortunately, since the storage room was outside the suites, there were no cameras recording the area.

Would you REALLY have wanted the cameras on????? Probly better off NOT knowing who that was.
