my dealer: got some straight gas 🔥😛 this strain is called “A Visit” or "The Lovely House" 😳 you’ll be zonked out of your gourd 💯 me: it's a lovely house, 5 minutes later: I swear we could open a door and go into the pure reflection of the house my friend Carla from school: we'd make a scene for a tapestry right now, on the lawn before the house and Paul (who was Paul?) pacing: the house is the same as ever, it does not change. don't you think I'd know my own house? without this house I could not exist
