TIFU by getting high before the air conditioner guy came in

r/

So I totally forgot that my roommate had booked a guy to come in and install our new air conditioner today. My roommate was out of the house this morning so I hit my penjamin and started watching some Twin Peaks since it helps me relax when I’m high. It’s really starting to hit me harder than normal for some reason when suddenly I hear a knock at the door and I freak the fuck out. For some reason my first instinct is that it’s an undercover cop (weed is legal where I live but you have to be 21 and I’m 19).

So I go to the door and try to act normal as possible and I just start completely tweaking out on this poor guy. I started giving him a whole made-up account of my day like I told him I went for a run around the block which I literally never do and I gave him really specific timestamps for everything like making a protein shake at 0829 hours (yes, I used military time). Luckily I think he caught on that I was high and just brushed it off. At one point I straight up asked him if he was a cop and he just laughed and said he didn’t mind if I had a little weed. I burst into this awkward laugh and said something to the effect of “I can’t buy weed I’m not old enough! I really don’t mess around when it comes to the law, I’m tough on crime!” By the time he left I was still high asf and I thought he had installed a hidden camera in the air conditioner so I covered the whole thing in duct tape. That was a fun one to explain when my roommate got home.

TL;DR I forgot a guy was coming over to install a new air conditioner and I got high as balls and thought he was a cop

    Today I learned that weed and Twin Peaks together can make you wrap an entire air conditioner in duct tape.

    Sounds like weed makes you paranoid and delusional. Be careful with that.

    You should be aware that excess consumption of THC can trigger psychosis in susceptible individuals and I noticed you mentioned a pen. A lot of people get a little paranoid but the hidden camera one in particular is mildly concerning

    Have you tried yoga or therapy for that anxiety? You can still use the penjamin

    Covering the AC with duct tape after the dude already told you he was chill with the weed is in another level of paranoia. Like not in funny or eccentric type of paranoia, sounds more like the kind that could potentially develop into you hurting yourself or other. If your intrusive thoughts lead to questionable actions, that is a problem.

    I have a cousin who swears all he did was smoke weed right before he went into psychosis and nearly killed his elderly neighbor because he thought God was talking to him.

    OP, are you sure it was weed you were smoking šŸ˜‚

    I hear you though, it was probably half the weed and half the spiral of it all. Hopefully remembering this next time will let you relax a little more knowing most people really don’t care if you’re high šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

    TO ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING I MIGHT BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PSYCHOSIS: This is the only time this has ever happened. The paranoia was just caused by me forgetting the guy was coming and being surprised since I wasn’t expecting him. Weed had never made me paranoid before and hopefully will not make me paranoid again. If it does and it’s this bad again I will strongly consider stopping, but otherwise I’m good lmao

    Sounds like you have problems you need to work out and drugs are not the answer.

    Sounds like your consuming THC that is too strong for your tolerance to handle, and causing you paranoia. I would hit the penjamin only a few times, then put it away and wait for the high to kick in. Ive watched new smokes start violently throwing up after hitting a penjamin too much, which is a sign of consuming too much

    OP youre a wreck lol…

    when we had our central heating and air installed in our house after buying it, the install guy saw my bong sitting in the corner of my bedroom while putting the vent in. he asked to use it after the job was done, we sat there and got high together lol

    I one time as a teen… I was smoking in the woods at dusk….. My paranoia kicked in so bad I thought the white shirt I was wearing was practically glowing just drawing attention to me out smoking….. And God knows my parents couldn’t see what I was doing….

    So yea my dumbass took off my shirt and in my mind I was invisible…..

    Smoking makes you do some dumbass paranoid things…. Maybe don’t when your expecting company…..

    This isnt a normal reaction to weed, find a new vice

    Yeahhh you should not smoke anymore – seriously.

    I don’t think that level of paranoia/delusion is normal high behavior

    Wait, you were stoned and overreacted!? This never happens… /s OP relax, I did AC work for a long time. Even smoked with a few home owners on the end of my last call. If this person remembers the exchange, they’re laughing about it. No worries, try to hang onto reality while you’re blazed, it goes a long way….

    You had a paranoid freakout, and it’s hilarious. “I’m tough on crime” while high as a kite is peak. Duct-taping the AC unit because you think there’s a hidden camera is just the cherry on top. Your roommate’s face when they got home must’ve been priceless.

    This is peak stoner paranoia but also peak comedy. Bonus points for the military time protein shake alibi. Duct tape on the AC? Next-level ā€œI’m definitely hiding somethingā€ vibes. Your roommate’s got stories now.

    Wildest part of this is that you watch twin peaks while high to relax…
