Fantasia is the last one I remember....Got so high I left in mid-movie to->
wander around campus to get my head on right.... Fall of 1974. I'll NEVER forget it. I'd quit smoking pot my whole freshman year and the end of HS. Not so much as a bong hit . I did it because of my HS girlfriend, and I was cool with that. She went to Tech too and we dated freshman year (NO pot for me).
She wised up (or grew up) and dumped me that summer...so in the fall, I figured, "What the Hell". Memo to self (or anyone else since I gave up everything 35-40 years ago), "Don't jump right in where you left off. Getting high takes some getting used to....
Fantasia and the Lyric are etched onto my brain....😵💫😵💫😵💫
