I crashed a friend's house one night, and I woke up and $50 was missing out of my wallet.
I asked my friend, who I knew had stolen it, "how can $50 disappear from my wallet overnight?" and he looked me dead in the eye and said:
"I don't know man. It's a mystery."
We aren't friends anymore.
Thatβs a scene from Trailer Park Boys.
βRay, you didnβt see $60 lying around, did ya bud?β
βSixty bucks? What, like twenties or something?β

Ah, I totally didn't get this first go round because my brains were trying to put together how a->b. But I get it now, and it also kinda reminds me of this goofabout.
βWhatβs the deal with those machines, dad, you win any money or what?β
βNot too bad buddy, up about 60 bucks.β
I wonder if your friend was an addict, an asshole, compulsive, or some combination of the set?
He was a pothead selfish asshole, thought working was beneath him.
Wanted a half ounce of weed more than he wanted my friendship.
I don't like people floating weed as this innocuous thing. I've met some really shitty potheads. But I also know that I've more than likely met a bunch of grounded regular smokers too. I don't think people should go to jail for it, but I def think it brings out some really awful characteristics in some folks. But that's just me. I mean when it's legal (cause it most def will be her cross-country at some point) I think people will start talking about it the same way they talk about alcohol. Because some folks will drown themselves in it. But also hopefully at that time, we might also start addressing our horrendous food situation too. Shrugs.
Or all be dead from global warming. Eh.
But yeah, fuck that dude.
I've got nothing against weed. Like I have indulged recreationally myself a time or two, and honestly other than the occasional giggles I don't really see the appeal.
I think it affects everybody differently, for me it's just usually too heavy and too strong to indulge in other than every once in awhile.
Oh for sure it affects everyone differently. And I know different strains for different things. I sort of forgot, but I tried a slew again like five years into my pain period. Just to try to figure out if I could fix stuff with it. Hilariously it always seemed to make my pain worse, so it's probably outright just not for me. Shrooms? My jam. Weed. Eh.
I have just seen people basically neglect themselves, let alone others who depend on them - all in the name of weed. So ultimately I don't care too much for it as a whole.
Awww bizzaroland. I hope you got some better friends.
So did you ever solve the mystery? π
Must have been the wind
Maybe his friend's wind π
