Now that my silly grad project is coming to an end I just got super sad and confused. How am I supposed to talk about pot, and pot culture and make stupid pot jokes and all of the things I've done this year with out just seeming like a shitty stoner? These damn design academic microcosms that I'm so comfortable and understood in! Sometimes I joke that I became a 'stoner'* because of my grad project/for my gradproject/for research. And yet I never realized that I'm SO heavily into pot culture now that I think it would really be a push to try and become as removed as I was before? Like this is something I actually care about now? Not just a silly joke? But also now I'm going to potentially be viewed AS I viewed the problem I originally adrdessed with the joint (/the pot project)? Also soon I graduate and become removed form these safe microcosms and communities? Or they at least change.
yipes. spring feelings *stoner being relative to what I at the beginning of my project would have considered a stoner, someone who engages heavily with marijuana culture and makes stupid jokes and cares about things that seem so trivial as pot does to the mainstream.
