“Paul is Dead”

“This is like your stoner friend, who is a gifted storyteller, explain to you an idea he has for a graphic novel where Paul really died or something, and Detective Encyclopedia John Lennon is on the case!

I just read this thing that said people are NOT more creative when they’re stoned, however they do, across the board, THINK they’re more creative when they’re stoned. This makes a ton of sense. It’s the same thing that makes drunk driving a problem: when you’re just a little drunk, you’re still with it enough to realize you shouldn’t drive. Then, when you’re REALLY drunk, you’re so drunk you can’t accurately gauge how drunk you are.

Maybe this is a good tip: If you think you’re ready to drive, pull up Paul Is Dead, read it, and then write a one-paragraph book report on it.

If you’re able to perform that task and feel you’re ready to go, you probably are.
If you feel like you understood the book completely, you are high, don’t drive.
If you kept falling asleep or trying to find chips that surely must have fallen into the backseat of your car at some point, you’ve been taking this car to the grocery store for decades, how could there NOT be an escaped bag of chips SOMEWHERE, then you are drunk. Get out of your car, and get some chips. On foot.”
