doing drugs

Do you remember in middle school when people “did drugs.” (Maybe this is a very NY middle schooler observation but let’s move on) You’d be like, “OMG apparently Bobby like does lots of drugs” Bobby was doing the most drugs. Ever.

Why was it always pluralized? Like, how many drugs was little bobby actually doing? You might even see him at a dance and then say, “he’s on drugs right now” and then picture all sorts of crazy shit, as if you’d seen Requiem for a Dream--which I hadn’t because I couldn’t see rated R movies---and that’s what was going on in the boys’ bathroom.

Since today is 420 lots of websites are posting “the real story behind 420” or “great stoner books”: shit like that*. THAT’S because they don’t want to be like “we do drugs” we just read about them and observe --ACTUALLY we’re just interested in the history. Because sometimes, when people get high they think, “okay, now what the fuck can I read. yeah! I want a book!” BAM this list has you covered.

*look at the author's picture by this article. He's smoking a cig and obvs trying to signal to us, the reader, that he totes smokes pot and unfortunately he can't show us online, but at least he smokes cigarettes. I mean, I definitely buy it.
