Stoner Story: Hours after toking up, when I was not quite high yet certainly not sober, I entered the subway. Thoroughly immersed in my own world as well as the music playing through my earphones, I twirled the umbrella in my hand in a frolicsome manner…and hit something. I turned to see what caused the impact against my umbrella, only to realize that I had hit a complete stranger in the chest. Apparently, I had utterly forgotten that there were people other than myself inside public transit. Tearing my earphones out, I apologized profusely. Well, there's a pothead moment if anything, I thought, my cheeks burning with embarrassment.
