When you're rollin a J and gettin little bits of weed all over the table you generally want to pick up and scrape up as much as you can, right? Well I was doing just that last night and - I dunno, I definitely think I've got an OCD streak - I was hunting around for the little scraps of tree on my desk and in the denim of my jeans and I just ended up doing it for way too fucking long. Finally I realized - what the fuck am I doing?

Yea it's good to be frugal and make sure you're not wasting your weed but at a certain point you gotta stop looking for specks of bud and just smoke the damn joint, because what the fuck difference is that little extra microscopic piece going to really make? By the time you're stoned you definitely won't be thinking "wow, I'm really glad I spent five minutes hunting around for those last few crums of weed", you'll be on some totally other shit because you're stoned!

And that led me to a broader thought about weed in general. And this is especially if you're reupping on halfs, ozs, or anything larger of good or top shelf quality weed. There's so much nickel and diming of weed in friend groups - any stoner knows this. Trading a hit of something for a hit of something else, etc. Last week a friend asked to buy a "3-sack". Shit like that.

At a certain point measuring weed in weight, bowls, nugs, etc. is all just a hopeless attempt to quantify highness - something that is so fucking subjective and most of the time has much less to do with the amount or the quality of the tree smoked than people think. And even then highness is not really the ultimate goal - at least for me. I'd usually rather be mildly stoned and happy than baked and sad (super bad vibes).

So really what we're attempting to quantify is how good a time we're having - or happiness.

Which - bare with me - leads me to a broader, and my final point. Money, food, weed, coffee, beer, time off: ALL ways of measuring potential happiness. You can rich, full, stoned, caffenated, drunk, and retired, and be sad as fuck. And that's shitty. So the bottom line is (TLDR)

Don't nickel and dime your friends about weed to the point of unnecessary bickering and logistics and "loans" etc. You're just bogging yourself down from what you were hoping to achieve in the first place: having a good time.
