Hey, I'm kinda thirsty - anybody want a drink?" "Sure" they chorused.Hey, I'm kinda thirsty - anybody want a drink?" "Sure" they chorused. Off we went to the blankets. I got out my water bottle and in so doing - wouldn't you know it - my pipe fell out. I tried to be cool and stick it back in but Leah had seen it and said "Hey, you get high?". "Only when I smoke this stuff" I quipped. "How about you, I'd be glad to pass it around". "Sure, sounds great" Leah purred. "How about you Jill?" "Pot? I don't know, I've never really ... well I`ve tried it a couple times but it never really did anything. I guess I just don't know how to do it right." "Nonsense. We'll get you off." I stuffed the bowl full and lit it up. I passed it to Leah who took a very expertly controlled hit and gave it to Jill. Jill took way too much at once and erupted into the inevtiable coughing fit. I patted her on the back gently and assured her it would be allright, gave her a drink, and took another hit. "You always get off more after a coughing fit" I said. The pipe went around a couple of more times and then was exhausted. "Any more?" I asked. "Sure, why not." said Leah. "Sure" said Jill, in a slightly spaced out voice. I could tell she was not going to miss getting off today. We smoked another bowl and then passed the water jug around. The girls were both obviously off, as their glazed eyes attested to. However Jill maintained that she wasn't aware of anything out of the ordinary. I assured her that any minute now something was bound to hit her. I was cruising pretty well myself, and suddenly felt like taking a walk. "Lets go for a walk" I said and we started down the beach. We walked down the beach, away from where the trail emptied on to the sand, away from the greatest concentration of people. |
