“He asked if I wanted to shotgun and then the blunt dropped and somehow we were making out.”
Who is your dream person to get stoned with and why?
It is hard to choose just one person. I would say Elon Musk so that we can plan my planet out and the strains that would be grown on it. The teen-me wants to say Gucci Mane or Lil Boosie. I think it would be a valuable smoke sesh.
Flower or Edibles?
Flower. I like to smoke. Edibles, I am somewhat scared of. My best friend made some brownies once and all I took was a bite or two, I am not a fan of chocolate. I took the bite around NOON and I had to canvas that day. However, the Gods had other plans for me. I will never forget I had to keep reminding myself that I couldn’t OD on those little bites. I made the mistake of getting an espresso to get me going, which made it worse. I really thought I was going to die from weed that day. I even woke up high. Now I am scared of edibles. I did make a cute lemon pepper turkey gravy one thanksgiving and it was a chill vibe.
What flavor would you be? What flavor would you never be?
I would be something spicy. Everyone knows I love a good chicken wing. Spicy food never feels good yet so many cultures enjoy it. I make people hot. I make them sweat. I would not be sour. I don’t like anything too sour. I love lemon pepper and lemonade but other than that, miss me with the bitter life.
THC Lube, thoughts?
I have never used any before but I am open to trying this. If you got the ZAZA Lube, hit me up. I need the plug.
Describe your first kiss?
First kiss with a guy was when we were smoking this blunt in the woods behind my house and then he asked if I wanted a shotgun and then the blunt dropped and somehow we were making out. That was both of our first time kissing a guy. I was big in the closet at this point but that was the start of me realizing, “I like men.”
Sativa or Indica–why?
