That is amazing!!! I think in our life time we'll be able to enjoy an experience that we're describing. It's funny what a little bit of weed does with people. Once we realize we have that in common with people, some people (who have to hide it) feel a big lift of pressure off of them and they can just be themselves. I'm pretty open about my cannabis use but I don't force it down peoples throat.
I was the head chef at a bed and breakfast in Oxfordshire England in the middle of nowhere. It was busy and amazing. I did 2 seating's there. It's really fun to get out there and interact with the guests. I get out there and talk all sorts of shit, I have a good gift with talking to people, especially about food. I loved it there. Local sausage was amazing.
One day...
One night in particular, we were at one of the more "rustic" wineries at a stargazing party. This is a "members only" event and consists of outdoor buffet, lots of wine, desert and a short walk up a hill if you want to view the stars through telescopes the size of a 55 gallon drum.
Again, no lights, no sounds....just stars. At the telescope site, we could dissappear into the darkness by walking 10 yards into the rows of grapes and smoke a fatty. After a BBQ dinner, toke and stargaze, we found ourselves sitting around the fire with:
A lesbian couple who were both DA's in Missouri.
A former NFL football player (multi-year probowl) and his trophy wife who happened to live next to this winery who rode to dinner on horseback
An ex-cop who married a defense attorney who used to bust drug offenders
2 young couples about 30 years old on a weekend vacation
2 single men who were wine makers who rented space/equipment from this winery to do their own press/bottling.
Doc and Mrs. Bud
We were all fast friends for maybe 2 hours around that fire. Each sharing stories, listening, laughing, toking.
It doesn't get much better for a Saturday night. Weed, food and a bit of wine does all this. I myself only had 2 small glasses of wine, as I was driving. No one was smashed or drunk. We were just happy.
And there are laws against this type of thing......
