Don't read high. Get some good friends, listen to music and eat some dank food.

In fact, if you aren't the type to get all weird and paranoid in public when high, I'd recommend going to your favorite restaurant.

portnoy's complaint should only be read under the influence of a pistol round to the head

>> No.7941027

No way you'll get anything out of reading high. The next time you pick up wherever you left off in the book you'll probably be confused because you don't remember a single fucking thing from the last time you read it. Weed enhances other, less cerebral activities though. Music--both listening and playing--food, movies or anything visual really, the Internet.

all these fucking lameos can't even enjoy cerebral tasks under the influence of drugs.

reading high is great
REREADING GR high was great, but it's too much effort put into knowing what is happening

read the book of disquiet if u have self loathing

Will probably do all these things (except for the restaurant).

I don't expect to remember any of it, just reading for erm the experience.

>>7941050

Yeah I think I'll try GR

>> No.7941205

Reading once you start coming down is where it's at.

GR is GOAT while high. It's like taking a step away from the plot. Actually made it easier to read for me.

One of the best things I've ever done is read Sound of Waves while high.

When I read high I only ever re-read what I've already read tho. I'd never read anything for the first time while high since I forget everything plot-wise. It's all only for the amazing imagery.

>> No.7942843

When high, never read for plot. If you're gonna read while high only read for prose and imagery and only books you've already read before
