Whats the dumbest thing you've ever done while high?

A few years ago I had a sweet externship with the prosecuting attorneys office in my last semester of law school. It was my favorite thing I'd done all three years and I was stoked because I was finally good at something law-related. I did pretty well in the high pressure courtroom atmosphere and was making a good impression on higher ups and judges. I thought maybe this was a place I could land a job after graduation if I continued my good track record.

Well one morning, I had an important preliminary hearing for a case that I'd fully developed from the second the file hit the office. It was my baby. But I woke up with a splitting headache and simply could not function. Now I'm not the kind of girl that wake n bakes usually, not unless it's a weekend and I need to take the edge off a late night with a few puffs. And even that's rare. But I figured a headache is a headache and a couple puffs this morning was a safe bet.

Well it wasn't. I basically forgot how to do words for the first half of my direct on the officer. I fumbled my way through a couple half-hearted objections, only one of which was even relevant. I think. At one point my supervisor had to bail me out because I couldn't remember the right evidentiary foundation, which for a PH is such a low threshold that even a toddler could establish it.

This shit was not pretty. But I still somehow managed to win it, the only reason being that the public defender was a bigger idiot than I was that day and had clearly only glanced at the file for 5 minutes that morning.

I sat in my seat the rest of the morning pretty much panicking inside because I was convinced the judge knew I was high. After the court session was over for the day, the judge hung around and chose that day of all days to shoot the shit with us and ask me how law school was going. I replied with all the cringiest answers and literally wanted to shrivel up and die right there.

Needless to say, lesson learned. I may be able to talk your ear off while stoned, vegging on the couch, eating cosmic brownies. But when it comes to operating under pressure in a high stakes situation, I will never fathom being high for it ever again.

And, no, I am not currently employed by the prosecuting attorneys office. There's a decent chance this incident could be why. Lol
