I smoked some very old bud through an ornamental “african” pipe as a joke.

I must’ve been 21 or so and was still living at home. I had some friends over and we got into, as they say, shenanigangs.

Somehow we ended up finding a bag of bud in a drawer. Must’ve been a leftover from my dad’s. Someone else pointed out we had a pipe (not really, it was just a wall decoration) and I was dared to smoke it.

Before anyone comments, yeah, I was a rural hick and so were said friends and we weren’t exactly used to going ‘so wild’. This was over two decades ago tho.

Anyway, I apparently had a real good puff for a firsttimer and whatever happened to time after that I still can’t quite describe.

All those years later I unfortunately have overdone it to the point I need to reconsider a few things. Mostly the cost. It’s still fully illegal where I live so black market prices are sky high unless you have a big social circle and lots of connections, which I don’t.
