that's because you're not supposed to smoke it. You're supposed to wad up leaves and chew on it. There's a friend's plant in the basement of my girlfriend's house at the moment. I can't wait for that shit...

nah what ur supposed to do is smoke it out of a bowl with a butane lighter.

maybe a little.

why is homosexuality on your mind?

on salvia today.
it involed an epiphany and the discovery of the meaning of life, an alternate universe in which we coexist that defies all reason. all of this information hit me at once and made me physically fall out of my chair, damaging my goldfish's mug. After that i yelled at my friend tim, asked him why the fuck he would do that to me and punched him in his left breasticle. He was not pleased, but to confused to do anything. After that i cried for three hours until it was time to go to class.

IT WAS AWESOME!

You're so incoherent when you're high. I remember being fairly clear minded while baked. I wrote a Chemistry Unit Final on Reduction/Oxidation while blazed and pulled off a 72.

is it passable haha?

GREETINGS!
i have written this homework assignment (and, indeed, THIS POST) while extremely high.
ENJOY?!?!

4. What common experiences - if any - do the following objects, brand names, and symbols evoke, and for what audiences in particular?
A USDA organic label
A Nike Swoosh
The Golden Arches
The Sean John label as seen on its web site

First off, a USDA organic label does little for me, for the reason that I cannot recall what one looks like. Judging by what a USDA label would argue for, however, I believe the symbol would evoke a feeling of cleanliness, a feeling that is typically associated with pure, natural goodness. This label would address adults in particular, because children and those younger than teenagers are not responsible for food purchases. As such, the symbol would be a little more mature, possibly involving partial nudity or ninja jump kicks to the head...that or facts. Next up we have the Nike swoosh, a symbol that is meant to draw images of soaring through the air on the way to a slam dunk to win the game, or running your heart our just to get that gold medal. Whatever the case may be, whether it has to do with athletics or, metaphorically, soaring through the air the swoosh lives up to its subliminal origins as the symbol of the god of flight: Mercury. Being that athletic ability isn't something all people have (I'm looking at YOU, grandma!), the symbol is meant for the active, fit, 14-20 something demographic. Following that comes the golden arches, inspiring images of childhood fun, adventure, and good old-fashioned happiness. However, do to the recent negative publicity and scientific findings, the golden arches now inspire images of obesity, clogged arteries, and greasiness. The symbol is typically meant for the kids; following the old business adage "get 'em while their young"...they'll be yours forever. Lastly comes the Sean John label, and, as the subtext on the sight, reads, "it's not just a label". With the Sean John name comes images of the suffering of African Americans, in the past as well as the present. Simultaneously, the reader thinks of the real American dream, of the story or a rags-to-riches rapper trying to diversify his artful bonds. Okay, if Sean John doesn't provoke images of fat, obnoxious, white kids named "Bradley" listening to Eminem and thinking he's "ghetto": there is something seriously wrong with you. To counteract this natural human response (called the "unfunny Jaime Kennedy effect"), marketing masterminds show 4 pictures: a black man wearing a nice suit grabbing his crotch (seriously), a white woman dancing in front of a beguiled P. Diddy (...or Diddy...or whatever the hell he wants now), a Porsche, and single basketball shoe. Oh the symbolic references to wealth, happiness and power are endless within these pictures, it does nothing to dispel the fact that, while the intended audience may be a multicultural, multi-aged demographic, Sean Jean ultimately appeals to the prepubescent, suburban, private school set.
