Punk Teens Suck

I think it really depends on the person. Each person is going to have a different tollerance. Contact might have an effect on one person, but another may not notice a thing.

We get weed smokers in our store sometimes, and you can just smell it on them (among other signs). Then there are the patchouli smelling customers that you kinda wonder about....hmmmm....

I'll be standing there, ringing up groceries and notice a strong stench of weed, only to find out its a bag of ground gourmet coffee!!!
Talk about a contact high!
That stuff reeks!

Perhaps the OP could enlighten us to the conditions better or we could just take this tale at face value and enjoy it.

Personally, I stagger when I first wake up. I even walk into things and it has nothing to do with anything other than I have a very hard time waking, cannot focus and basically drift in and out of sleep as I'm walking.
You'd think I was drunk, maybe, but really I'm just semi-sleep walking.

i've gotten contact highs at concerts, and those are open areas, so yes, a contact high would be possible, but as batmoody says, it all depends on the person involved. people who don't smoke it will get more of an effect than those who don't, just like with any other drug.

Sage can also smell like pot too.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the Apallo was just waking up and was staggering because of that or was a little groggy (maybe it was too dark?).

As in another post, people's tolerances can vary as well. Although I, too, find it hard to believe to get high from the second hand smoke of one joint in a semi-ventilated area, even if he did, he's got an extremely low tolerance. Generic pain-killers must work awesome then!


Napping on the job and then getting a break? What'd you do on your break?!

About the Mary. At the dealership I've gotton a contact high from riding in a dodge caravan with three other people smoking, only made me slightly buzzed smoking it myself I ran up the wall. Mary makes me way too hyper so they wouldnt let me have it very much and I otherwise am way not interested in it. But this was with the windows open, me driving (which is why I was the only one not smoking) at freeway speeds. But in the wide open wash bay I could barely notice it when only one or two where smoking.

I would sleep on break too...

Anyway, digilight hit it on the head. I wasn't that bad, but it was enough to make my boss want me away from the area for a little while, to get my head back together again. Also, i have a very low tolerance for weed. It takes very little to get me very high.

I sometimes walk funny just from having sat too long, never mind drugs or sleeping. On a bad day even the drive to work takes a couple minutes to wear off, and were I slightly buzzed it would, presumably, look like I'd had a lot more than I had.

It sounds to me as though the roach had been 'disposed of' in the bottom of a carriage, so, who knows how long Apallo might've been smelling it before s/he noticed it?

Yeah, won't get you high in the technical sense, but it can disorient you. Especially after just waking up.
