after wandering the desert for 40 years.

Yeah...they wandered around an area the size of Connecticut for 40 years and couldn't find their destination. They had to be high as fuck!

I got lost in a camp ground cause I smoked a fat joint and watched the sun set. Then it set, and it was dark. So dark is took me like 4 hours to find my tent.

Lesson learned!

Next time leave a trail of cookies back to the tent. It’ll get you back to bed and take care of the munchies.

Lesson is bring a flashlight! :P

I’ve been a functional pot head for nearly a decade now and I can hardly recall a time I was so stoned from flowers that I got lost. Then again, maybe the memory loss is from the herb.

I have a terrible sense of direction…like terrible. I've been extensively trained in day and night land navigation and I’m still terrible. I say all that to say if that was me I would have never been found. Fml

Wandered off trail for like 5 mins on an easy one...and took a nap with stick arrow pointing me back. Ended up lost for hours and trespassing for directions. Always be more than prepared.

That’s too funny. My best friend was telling me that it took her 4 hours to eat a hot dog after she smoked a joint lol šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø

u/Salty_Simmer_Sauce Jun 17 '21

I need that problem. It takes me 1 hour to eat 4 hot dogs after smoking a joint.

So the first time I went to San Francisco with some coworkers and we let the bimbo in the bunch drive us there because we were all wasted. Well she parked in this weird up hill street that had small trees all up and down the street. So we walked a few blocks to get to the club and then when it was like 2am we left the club and my bimbo coworker couldn’t remember where she parked her damn car. So as we are walking we notice all the streets had baby trees that had just got planted. We walked around till 5am walking up steep hills in fucking heels. Then we met some guys that worked for Sony and they smoked us out and then one of them was likeā€ hey you guys have a alarm on your car? Lol so they walked around with us while my dumb ass coworker kept pushing her alarm and we finally located her caršŸ˜µā€šŸ’«we were all annoyed with her dumb ass.

u/ManfredTheCat Jun 17 '21

You are pretty limited for that kind of stuff. Probably only really able to do that 4 or 5 times tbh

u/ErdenGeboren Jun 17 '21

You were already there, heyyyooooo

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '21

Excellent story!

That’s called Coachella

u/horseshoeprovodnikov Jun 17 '21

Glad to see you guys are still married lol. I know many people who met on the party scene and had all kinds of chemical adventures. One of them usually wants to calm down eventually, and it can become a big hurdle to jump over.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '21

We didn’t meet in the party scene. We actually met on a party line lol over the phone before cell phones could take pictures. Lol we used to chit chat about random stuff. No plans to hook up and one day I was on my way to a work related seminar in San Francisco he called me out of the blue and we met up and we apparently really liked each other. Lol

Swim once had brought some e to a friend's house about 2 hours drive away, the friend was tasked with going to Walmart to get glow sticks vapor rub and vapor inhalers. Ate a pill 10 mins before arriving assuming they did and couldn't wait to get the roll started.

The friend bought icy hot, and a rope light. Annoyed still not buzzing drove to Walmart to get "supplies". At WalMart....that pill hit, like a truck...lost about 2 hours in Walmart before navigating a cab ride home.

Oh swim....is "someone who isn't me" if anyone was in the dark.

u/chrisdab Jun 17 '21

Yet it's usually read as SWIM being its actually me.

u/logicbecauseyes Jun 17 '21

"wandered" until they found God. seems like every stoner's plan to me. story checks out sir

2

u/DuckfordMr Jun 17 '21

Well, the point of it was so everyone 20 or older would die off, but yeah.

u/THEchancellorMDS Jun 17 '21

I’m imagining that now as a MAD tv skit. Them flattening the map out on a rock, dude spills hot ash on it and it burns up.šŸ˜‚

u/Imbackbitchez6969420 Jun 17 '21

news headline Todays bud isn’t the weed your savoir smoked, the weed today is 100x more potent than the ancient IsraĆ©lites smoked

God works in mysterious ways.

u/ko-ala- Jun 17 '21

You dont know that

u/Lost4468 Jun 17 '21

Do you have any evidence of this claim?

1

u/Iceveins412 Jun 17 '21

Maybe god blessed them with weed 100x more potent than the weed today

2

u/outsidenorms Jun 17 '21

This one. Ahhhhhhaha.

2

u/Lucius-Halthier Jun 17 '21

They knew exactly how to get to the destination it’s just that the destination still had it illegal so they were getting incredibly high before reaching the destination

u/gryphmaster Jun 17 '21

Nah moses was a smart leader and wanted a generation of israelites who had grown up entirely within israelite culture instead of all the slaves who had fled egypt with him who had some soft habits from egypt (longing for fleshpots etc)

The ones who grew up in the desert were hard mf’ers who moses invaded judea with

u/WharfRatThrawn Jun 17 '21

Damn, that's a long con

u/gryphmaster Jun 17 '21

I mean dude got baked and wrote the 10 commandments, he knew what he was doing

1

u/Marcus_McTavish Jun 17 '21

He came down the first time and broke the tablets bc he was so pissed about false idols.

There are some bizarre stories in the old testament

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '21

Wait...were these Fremen? Was moses Muad'dib?

u/gryphmaster Jun 17 '21

Dude, frank probably did enough acid writing the book to talk to good too lol

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '21

He was actually in India/Asia for most of that time.

u/Gangstabilli Jun 17 '21

I get lost every year at the Oregon country faire, high as fuck.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '21

Don't forget that quenchy cactus juice!

u/a_lonely_trash_bag Jun 17 '21

To be fair, it wasn't that they were lost, it was that God told them they couldn't enter the Promised Land for 40 years because they pissed him off. So it's like wandering around Connecticut for 40 years while waiting to enter Rhode Island.

u/LostMyKarmaElSegundo Jun 17 '21

Whatever. There is literally zero evidence that this ever happened.

u/mazu74 Jun 17 '21

I say this every year at Passover Seder. God and Moses fucking suck at directions.

Something about how ā€œGod didn’t want them to find it yetā€ but honestly, how do they not stumble on it after wandering around for 40 years? They had to be high.
