The most scared I've ever been in my life was after an early evening decision to make chocolate chip cookies out of pot. Three of us ate them, felt nothing for two hours, and - suddenly - in the middle of a party all started losing our minds. I ended up laying on a floor yelling that I think I needed a doctor, because I was convinced I was having a heart attack or stroke or something.

I actually remember having this thought, "My parents are going to get a call that their son died of a drug overdose. Which is embarrassing for them. And then everyone is going to find out I OD'ed on marijuana. Which is embarrassing for me."
