Anyways so we decide hey lets go chill in this park its a great place to smoke. So were at the park for about an hour and smoke 2 joints between us and begin to roll another when asshole park guy comes around so we grab our shit jump in the car and we drive off. Well we want to find a spot to smoke the rest of this stuff down. So being stoned we decide that going behind this Murray's would be a great place. There is a brick wall there and we didn't really notice but there are HOUSES on the other side.lol i guess we were just to caught up with wanting to smoke this shit down. So we load up a bowl and we have 2 joints going around so as u can imagine we are getting fucked up. It feels like we have only been there about a half hour and we are just messed. We have like half a gram of weed left when we decide to leave out of the 8 we started with. so we decide to take off i get in the drivers seat and where messing around all the sudden boom a cop car comes driving up in front of us OHHH SHIT. Im freakin im like guys omg what are we gonna do my one friend chokes down half a j we didn't finish lol. the other one hides the bottle the weed is in. The cop pulls us out. Checks us out patting us for weapons and whatnot. He finds the bowl and he is all being an ass saying what you kids doin and so on. 2 more cops cars show up. they grab my friends and throw them in separate cars.... im scared for my life the officer is like man u need to tell me where the weed is or im takin u to jail when i find it. So i look at both my friends both being over 18 they r gonna be fucked if we get busted so i pussy out and tell him where it is. He takes it back to his car and idk what he did he just made me sit there basically. Then came back with it and gave me the bottle he was like get rid of this shit NOW. so i toss it on the ground and they let my friends out of the car. We get in the car and the cops just say i never wanna see you around here again stay out of Livonia. We were free lol. So in all actuality we were in the Murray's parking lot for a full 2 and a half hours.it was one of the best times ive ever had and the worst. People always say hey man thats a sign not to smoke weed but hey idk ive never had an issue with the cops since. So im gonna keep on tokin
Sounds pretty scary, especially being all messed up and paranoid when it happened. That reminds me of a bad trip I had in college that involved a bunch of cops, a 3 mile walk in the pouring rain, and the hospital.
chainsawing logs into rounds for firewood before splitting, was cutting a 3-4 food diameter log when my chainsaw started bouncing (normally cause of a hard hard knot) so i let off the gas, tilt the chainsaw back to tear into the wood at a diff angle, turns out that log was knotty, and my chainsaw get caught, zooms foward snapping my arm off the handle. The saw then flips over its self right into my lower forarm causing my pants to be covered in blood in 10 secs.
turned into a mess, but the tear wasnt deep and just was a really big scab.
holy nutt sack... I would have went straight for more reefer lolQuote:

I love working on cars & motorcycles when I'm high...it generally gets me through most of the frustrating parts without much afterthought. Now, splitting knotty logs in half with a chainsaw after toking up is a bit of a different story...
I can always get a cut or fairly deep laceration while digging my arm around engine blocks, fairings, etc., but it's very rare that I could actually lose an appendage (or even my life) by doing so! Same goes for driving & riding my vehicles. While it's certainly fun to work on these projects with a little buzz, it could be suicide to try and navigate an open freeway on a sportbike at 90mph, with other (and much larger) vehicles careening at you from every direction, and while stoned out of your mind. I'll pass on that, get my high from the adrenaline, then spark up to bring me back down when I get home! :jointsmile:
Yeah, let's all try to be real careful during our young and stupid stages, so that we will live to see our old and wise stages.
I'm with Mr. C about doing stuff stoned. If at all possible, that's the only way I work on brainless stuff. Including using a chainsaw in knotty logs that are bigger than the chainsaw bar. The only time I do this is when I'm stoned. This is one of the few things I can do stoned, and not have it take twice as long as when sober (maybe 15% longer because I exercise about that much extra caution, as with most brainless activities).
Mr. C, I don't know if you care to hear this, but I have noticed that different saws have different kick back tendencies. It helps a lot to have a sharp chain. I have a Poullen (Sp?) and have never even come close to having a dangerous kick back. My dad's brand new Stihl, I can't stop it from constantly trying to kick back on me (while using both in the same log). I make sure I stay well out of the kick back line whenever using his, because I know it it is going to happen.
Some things that definitely need to be done stoned include working on your grow room, cutting wood (falling trees too, but that requires an additional level of care), going to the laundromat (haven't done that in years), operating heavy equipment including huge caterpillars, cranes or forklifts, target practice, automotive maintenance or repair, construction, CNC operation, general landscaping or landscape maintenance, delivery driving, and most other work-related activities. I say most, because I wouldn't want my heart surgeon to be stoned during the operation or during preparation, for example. Some of these things may sound dangerous, but I have done them so much that they are completely boring to me and done mostly by reflex. Getting high makes them so much less a drag.
Opie: I also have a gas-driven Poulan 42cc 18" monster. And while I don't use it much, I've never experienced a problem with severe kick-back...and I've used it to cut into some damn near petrified logs! But, to be honest, this is the first and only chainsaw that I've ever had...and I don't use it that often. Way back when, I used to split logs and fall trees using the good old fashioned method...a 10-15lb. axe, dull as all hell, and a sturdy log when needing to split the wood. Now, I can't deny that I sometimes just pay people to split it for me! I can be pretty lazy in the wintertime.
As for being lit on the job, I've pretty much always had the tendency to do this. Just makes getting through the day so much easier, doesn't it? Though I certainly agree that some professions (surgeons, foreign dignitaries, school teachers, etc.) would probably be better off waiting until they clock out to do that. I used to write for a living, and hope to get back into that one day. Being stoned & writing were par for the course! Even now, I own a traditional brick & mortar business, where most of my day is consumed with bills, spreadsheets & documents, more bills, payroll, and more stinking bills. I can do that sober, and have to a good bit of the time...but when I can sit in my office, not be disturbed, and do it with a good buzz, it seems to fry my brain and drain my motivation much less.
Be good, my friend.
I just have to agree Mr. C, it helps you get through the day on the job...I work a as a bilingual customer service rep and it sucks. Pays ok but it's putting me through school. And ya know, when you have ppl yelling at you all day, being stoned is the best thing that can happen to you. So to everyone, please be nice to fellow ppl at call centers, you just might be talkin to a fellow stoner like me :DQuote:
