      Makes me think of a family thing where one young cousin of mine was obviously baked. And everyone knew it. Everyone could see, everyone could smell it. But nobody cared. So the lil fella just sat in the corner the whole time slyly grinning to himself and giggling. Some months later I joked about it in another family gathering and the guy was shocked to find out we knew about weed and what it smelled like.

      Weed, ah, what a new fangled thing. Tbh I’ve been in the almost exact position. Something comforting how it keeps happening.

        As a teenager a friend and I made up some excuse to sneak away from the adults to go get high. One of the adults knowingly mimed smoking a joint to us.

        “How did you know,” we asked.

        “I’ve been 16. You’ve never been 40,” he said.

        I always used to smoke at work when I worked as a janitor in my 20s. One time my manager grinned at me as I was coming back in from my break and asked if I was feeling tired. I can keep it together, but the droopy eyelids are a dead giveaway lol

          Ah my mistake. Good clarification. I’ve never been one to wear my interests, so it didn’t occur to me.

          Cool that you’ve been straight edge your whole life! So many people take a detour into abusing mind altering substances, especially at a young age.
