SHORT READS The Time I Was High at Work =.SbPjZDbFewTm7hOsrFoYkiM40PMQcgsl9m1fUoY_XT0 “The first time I tried weed brownies was my last. I only knew they were a thing because my roommate had eaten them once and wouldn’t stop raving about it. I was home alone that day. It was my day off, so no work. My roommate, who had left for work earlier, called to ask me to pick up a delivery for her. Yes, the brownies were the delivery. You know how they say curiosity kills the cat? I decided to try one. I didn’t feel anything, so I took another. And then three. About 15 minutes later, someone from work called and begged me to join an impromptu virtual meeting. At this point, I was feeling a little light-headed and thirsty, but I thought I’d finesse it. Only for my co-worker to DM me after the call, asking why I was shining my teeth all through the call and nodding aggressively like an agama lizard. 😭😭” — Pamela.
