Two texters passing (a doobie) in the night

01.13.2020 by David Murray // Leave a Comment

Got a text last week from a number I didn't recognize. It was a link to a Colbert piece about legal marijuana in Illinois.

Never wanting to write, "Who is this?"—but terrible about putting people's contacts into my phone—I tried to draw the person out by responding provocatively: Hemp5_cm--1

Me: Why couldn't [legalization] have happened before or after I was trying to set a good example for my kid?

Other Person: Well, now you wouldn't be breaking the law.

Me: What about giggling uncontrollably with mustard all down my front? Oh, I guess that's my m.o. anyway, LOL.

Other Person: Exactly.

Me: I'm glad we had this little talk. Off to get a sack of Amnesia Haze.

Other Person: Fond of Chronic Aphasia myself.

Me: Who is this, by the way?

Other Person: I was going to ask the same thing.
