POTSTORY: Stories Under the Influence

I was a lightweight in college. I rarely drank, hardly ever partied, and never, ever smoked weed. I was what you might call a "good kid". Then I moved to Boston, broke off a toxic relationship with my girlfriend, and discovered the mind-expanding power of marijuana. I spent months holed up in a tiny bedroom in Somerville, MA, smoking copious amounts of weed in my spare time. One hit and my mind would start racing a thousand miles a minute. The only outlet I had was to write every stream-of-conscious thought down as it entered my mind. Fortunately for me, I type really fast. This book is a collection of stories that I wrote over the course of a year. I resisted the urge to significantly edit or reformat what I wrote 20 years ago in order to maintain the stream-of-consciousness feel of how the stories were written to begin with. The way these thoughts unravel may feel very familiar to the veteran stoners out there - I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them.
