I generally enjoy the hiking while stoned. Except for the one time I managed to convince myself the trail was looping back on itself and we'd passed that tree twice already, I swear, and it was like a Stephen King novel.

Edited this because I posted before I had read all the other comments, sounds like you got some good advice!

So glad you're safe now.

Bwahaha cockbibs! Those were the days!

BWAHAHAHAHA. I saw the word "Old" in the title and thought, "Oh hey, this looks like something I'd be interested in, being old." And then I got to the part about "late twenties/early thirties." Me and my grey hair and wrinkles will be over here knitting an afghan if you need us.

But he still gets the sideeye.

Oh snap, you're right!! I looked at the role call on senate.gov....for the 2012 vote. OK, Toomey, I still can'tstandya, but you get a pass on this one.

Sigh one of them is from my state, Patrick Toomey BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
