Insensitive Incense

So I was at Shelby’s house yesterday, and I was in the middle of filming a short film. The film was going to include drug use, but I obviously was not going to use actual drugs for the making of the film.. that would be a dumb waste of time and money.. So, we used a vodka bottle and shot glasses of water for the alcohol aspect of the film. I also included cocaine, and to do this we used sugar and sucked it through a paper straw into our mouths, with the camera positioned so it looked like it was being snorted. While filming this, we noticed the paper straw looked like a blunt, and we decided we were going to try and fake some marijuana usage in the film. At first we both thought we were just going to use the paper and a vaporizer (the type used for colds, not weed) for the smoke. Eventually though, we realized that this look fake and terrible and Shelby had a genius idea. She decided to trim an incense stick, wrap it up in paper, tape the end, wet it, and light it, because that made it look like a real blunt without actual weed and it did not light us on fire, (though I admit I was definitely scared that it would at first). So I did a ton of shots with her “smoking” the little incense blunt thing, and after about a half an hour, the room was filled with smoke and smelt terrible so we decided to stop. Shelby even got to the point wear she learnt to do the cool little thing in which you breath out the little puffs of smoke and shit. Keep in mind, neither of us thought smoking incense was even a thing and we thought it was really funny that we were fake smoking and shit. Once we were done filming, we made a couple more blunts just because it was kind of fun and it was all a silly joke, it was literally completely innocent, and so I tried it too, and it was kinda fun and we pretended we were really cool and bad ass even though we weren’t actually smoking (or so we thought). We also were doing our best to not actually inhale any of the smoke just in case it was unsafe. After a while, it smelt really bad in the room so we stopped and cleaned up and lit candles to clear the smell and everything. Then, we went downstairs to get some more food. Both of us were getting really dizzy and we were literally seeing smoke everywhere even though it wasn’t there, but we literally thought there was a zero percent chance that we got high from smoking that, so the placebo effect kind of made it so we were pretty sure we weren’t high, even though it was super obvious we were. That was a run on sentence Jesus. Anyways by the time we dragged our asses to the bedroom I decided to google smoking incense just in case because I was a little paranoid about the whole thing. Well, in short, we found out that it was 100% possible that we were high from smoking that (which we were), in the morning we felt like complete shit and… yea. Well that was my first ever smoking experience. It is actually really sad that the first time I was ever really high was on accident… It’s a funny story to tell I guess. Also, I deleted all the smoking footage once I found out that incense smoking was an actual thing, which meant I also deleted half my other videos in a high, paranoid state. Yay incense, haha, crazy day.
