      I find when I’m stoned it’ll take me half an hour to read a single paragraph because I either get distracted and start thinking about something else mid sentence, or I’ll read the same paragraph several times because I forgot what I just read. The ADD is real lol

        What happens if you also take some ADHD medication at the same time? Will your head implode into a black hole or something?

          I dunno, I haven’t taken any of that stuff since I was 12 or so (cept one time, I helped my buddy clean the shit out of his apartment)

          For me, if I’m only a little high while on my meds then I am able to read way faster. It’s like the calming effects of weed + focus from my meds lets me just fly through books. If I get actually high, then my meds don’t seem to have any affect anymore, and I just stare at one paragraph forever.

        Jon Stewart being a stoner and Bob Saget being a coke-head were both such fantastic casting choices.

      I hate reading after I’ve taken an edible.

      My mind tends to wander super hard and I constantly get that thing where I read a paragraph word by word, but dont comprehend a larger meaning which then forces me to go back and re-read the paragraph. Repeat ad nauseum

        It is harder but I read my comfy books I memorised almost already so it isn’t a problem if I lose track and regain it page later. for me the visualisations when reading get much more immersive and alive if I can get past the suddenly loud narrator voice, it’s pretty funny

      Try reading on a few hits of LSD. 10/10 experience except when you get deja vu when reading a new book and then descend into madness before returning to the book.
