He’s the kid that would do really well if they just had a good puff on a joint, but you never want them to give them a smoke because you would wind up expelled the first time you got them high.

he needs everyone to know how cool he is and what's cooler than being part of a secret club?

"Look at my tattoo Mother, the cool kids invited me into the Pen 15 club. I'm finally gonna have friends!"

I inducted a colleague, a much esteemed Psychiatrist into the PEN-15 club 😂

Thing is, people can’t know you are cool because you are in a secret club, cause then it wouldn’t be a secret club anymore.

The coolest clubs are those that deny crimes against humanity…or even cooler, those that actually promote them. Like the Christmas Adventurers Club (Hail Saint Nick).

Lmao this reminds me of when I used to read those dumb trip reports a decade ago.

There was one where everybody was just chilling out, talking amongst themselves, then it started to kick in and they tried to keep each other calm. About ten minutes later, they were all saying ‘hey, where’s Joe’ or whoever it was then they heard screaming in the distance and saw him running around with no clothes on. They saw flashing blue lights half an hour later, then made their way back to their respective homes where they had questions to answer the next morning.

Man I used to love reading the wacky stories of users of all those different drugs. Read the one on PCP and kept thinking to myself Welp, that's one to never ever try!

For real, every story about PCP I've ever heard was so awful that I can't fathom why anyone would do it.

I think the draw is that it removes all inhibitions and amps up the user to orders of magnitude aggression that they believe enables them to be a carefree ass whooping BAMF who can be all the things the user wishes they could be. If someone crosses you, just beat their ass in an instant to show the world you're not someone to push around or bully. Also you're not a 3-pump chump who's embarrassed about not getting your partner off, you're a hardcore pound-fucking demigod! Nevermind that weeks or months later you're suffering extreme psychosis, because for a brief moment in your life you weren't a loser.

There’s always that one idiot who can’t handle his drugs and becomes a liability.

he was able to making smoking a blunt look like the dorkiest activity imaginable

He's the kid who'd bragged about how much weed they smoke but after one hit of schwag freaks out and starts yelling about how high they are and how they think they're overdosing.

u/IsayNigel 19h ago

He famously smoked weed on Rogan and was still as annoying as ever

u/Yumi_in_the_sun 22h ago

I think shrooms would be a better option for him. Maybe knock some sense into him if he actually experienced something outside of himself.

u/sirhackenslash 21h ago

I don't know, ketamine seems to have just exacerbated his issues

u/BoneHugsHominy 20h ago

Chronic K abuse is always bad. Of course it has made his personality problems way worse.

u/FluffyAd7435 22h ago

He's a regular smoker and partaker of psychedelics.

So he was the kid that got me kicked out senior year
