My best friend Jeff is what the kids today call a trigger. Normally I am pretty chill and keep my consumption under control, but whenever I get together with Jeff I go completely off the rails. Jeff and I were friends and neighbors starting 20 years ago when we lived in the same apartment complex. Soon after we started meeting up for drinks and smoking. He moved out of the state a few years ago, and now whenever we get together it’s a reason to party as hard as we can. We are both big drinkers, but what we really love is smoking cannabis. There may also be some hallucinogens involved, or some pills, but the baseline always starts with cannabis. I personally smoke several grams of cannabis a week by myself, but when I get together with Jeff we smoke several grams a day! The bowl is always packed full of Blue Dream, or Purple Haze, or a new sativa strain called Pineapple Medley which I really enjoy. The craziest thing is that we don’t even have to be in the same state for Jeff to trigger me. While we talk on the phone I will chain-smoke cannabis, and keep pouring shots for myself just like if we were in the same room. In recent weeks Jeff tells me he has found a new brand of cannabis edibles that are out of this world. The next time we get together we will make sure to have plenty of booze, pills, cannabis edibles and buds on hand for the celebration.
