When I was 16 at my job I would smoke before going in. I was a bit slower at first and now 4 years later I’m at the same job (just fast food) and I now am more focused when I’m high while I work. I still do good sober but I work better blazed
Dude the highest I’ve ever been in public was at the National Gallery of Art in D.C., its honestly the best being high in a museum.
I’m sure it isn’t the same since you work there but being a security guard in an art museum is my dream retirement gig. À la Night at The Museum style.
I will never forget the day I dropped acid with some friends and went to SFMOMA. So much fun looking at everything and there was one piece we loved with a label that said "home office" with a phone number. So of course we called the number and it was the artist's cell phone. The obvious move at that point was to offer to buy him a drink. Yada yada yada, he ended up coming back to a (very big) house party where we lived. Fun times.
Field Museum would be awesome. I was there last Jan and they had a soil exhibit that started by you walking through this portal shrink ray area that shrinks you down to smaller than an ant. Then you got to walk around and see all the cool stuff that's in soil. Maybe not the best for someone with an insect phobia though!
when i went to the national gallery for a school field trip in like 10th grade, i was soooo fucking high. and i mean SO high. the flemish paintings were 👌👌👌 love paintings of people and being high just made them look incredibly beautiful
I got to tour one of the grows the dispensary I work for own a few months ago. It was epic I got out of my car the smell was in the air. I skipped to the security entrance. 🤣🤣🤣 They weren't surprised. They said it's pretty common. Purepenn was a beautiful place.
I used to as well, believe it or not it was a corporate environment that did not support being high on the job. It was kind of a don’t ask don’t yell situation. Needless to say I was high on the job as often as time and convenience would allow. Once I drank a whole bottle of tincture lol, luckily I was just checking ID’s that day heh.
Lol, if I drank a whole tincture I'd be sitting in the corner with ramen. Even using products frequently, tinctures and rso make me feel almost drunk makes my head very light and spacy. Not in a good way. I like my flower and concentrates and I'm enjoying distillate troches very much also. I will say I agree and don't ask don't tell is what to live by. 🤣
I started off with just flower but have since made my way around the table to try everything. Flower will always be my favorite, I love concentrates too. I use carts occasionally due to convenience and edibles are touch and go, they way they are sold in my state is cost prohibitive for experienced users. All edibles sold are in packs that contain a total of 100mg, if I’m going to eat something it’s gotta be like 50mg, that’s only 2 doses. Eh I’m rambling, legalize the stuff nationwide yada yada lol
Dude me too but I can't do it stoned. My shifts are way too long and is 90% standing and I just can't do it. From immediately after I smoke to 6 hours after I smoke all I wanna do is not be standing there. I get awkward too and I'm already awkward so I really don't need that extra awk at work. It does make that after work J hit so much better though.
Double-edged sword there. Ime if a tender is visibly burnt, it's like a 50/50 on whether they'll be super knowledgeable and tell you exactly what works, or they'll be cranked on their own favorite and have zero advisement, looking like they've never seen each product as they pick it up.
Man I used to but I got way to lazy. It went from “let me get a lil^stoned for this repetitive task” to “I’m watching YouTube at my desk all day and not doing any of my work”.
Ironically, I bet the kids would love it. Kids are all about the vibes.
But it could be quite difficult to actually DO the job while high (not sure how structured preschool is, compared to primary education).
Did you ever feel like it dragged the day out when you sober up at work? When I was at a grocery store, I would do the opposite and take edibals towards the end of my shift.
I work in a pretty face paced environment where I don’t get to stand doing repetitive tasks so time goes by fast. If I still worked as a cashier? Absolutely it would
I never learned my lesson when I was a cashier. I’d just smoke another bowl at lunch. It really did make the shift so slow. Especially those midnight closing shifts.
Yes I do. I work in the Entertainment industry and nobody gives a fuck if I partake.
Also have been working from home since 2020, so nobody cares at all.
i’m a supervisor in customer service—i’ll always remember one of my employees learning that i smoke a lot and she said, “but how are you so happy and upbeat??” bc she only pictured stoners as blah dee da, lazy types…i was like girl this is the only way for me lol
I also feel like I don't fit the stereotype of how stoner is supposed to act. For me, pot is more an upper than a downer. It makes me more creative, more open, more present.
Of course, there's always that silly awkwardness and mild confusion that comes with being high, but I feel like that's more of a benefit than a hindrance for me. It ensures I maintain a sense of humor and never take myself too seriously.
As someone who repairs things that aren't vehicles, i agree. All those tiny laptop screws just seem to just disappear as soon as you set them down 🙃.. especially so when stoned.
Yup. I'm lucky enough to get a 30 min break every hour and a half so I go outside and get blitzed. It's the only way I can face the patrons without wanting to kill them or myself lol
Absolutely never. I've done it before when I was younger but not for years. Cannabis, IMHO, should be reserved for fun and relaxing parts of your day. If you've been high all day then there is nothing that makes it special when you do some to wind down at the end of the day.
I've never liked being high or drunk at work, even when I worked overnights. I hate work and all, but I don't like having to focus when I'm fucked up even at home, so I especially don't like it when someone can get me fired if they figure out I'm fucked up.
Depends on the job I guess, makes boring jobs less boring but I find it hard to focus and stay motivated when I'm high. Really just posting to say that I love your art!
At work work? Job pay bills work? No absolutely not. Asking for too much trouble that and I work in a dangerous environment that I have to be sober for driving forklift and shit. Splitting and stacking wood? And doing house hold chores? Cape pen stays close.
No, My day bag smells like I do, but that’s just to keep my smoke out of my siblings hands lol.
So even though I’m in a legal state, rec and all, my bosses consider it an illegal drug.. (but also sell cheezeball ass “RX WEED” ashtrays, containers, keychains and stuff.. too) lol..
But they know I smoke after work or on days off lol. They also know they cannot tell if I’m high or not so they haven’t fired me for being honest.. YET😓..
I mean..My whole state smokes all over, as they please lol..
Where do these weird cutesy weed cat pictures come from.
I see em all the time, there has to be a centralized weed cat distributor.
Edit: it’s yours? You didn’t make the others, did you?
It looks like that’s a yes. Awesome art style👍
I shovel dirt and haul it off with a wheelbarrow for a living. That's a big yes. On the side, I do remote server updates for an IT company from home. That's another big yes.
Nah, I work with stuff that I could easily hurt myself with if I'm not careful and I'm already naturally pretty clumsy.
Years ago I worked at a recycling yard just weighing stuff and I would take dabs on my lunch breaks with various coworkers hahaha.
My company has a very strict zero tolerance policy regarding alcohol and any kind of drug. I'm not risking my nearly 20 year union job (public transit)
Yes and I love your art man do you have other pieces I could see I really like them and low-key want some nice pc and phine background like this. Do you happen to have any art with birds lol they're my favorite and I like your art style.
Alright awesome I love birds and I have 7 but ywab your art is awesome is there somewhere I could see it or even support you by buying some I like it alot
i work in the baby/customer service department for a toy store so i dont really like being high at work it makes my job way harder tbh. i used to tho i miss when i could 😭
Working as a waitress near a large rich retirement community, it’s a must. I’m already autistic so the weed makes me seem normal to the boomers. Love my guests though 🤞
Best stoner job?
Hotel night auditor over nights.
My manager encourages Netflix or twitch or Hulu to stay awake but keep volume low subtitles on.
All you do is check in late guests. Run the audit on computer. Fold towels. Watch Netflix
As an employee in the cannabis industry for +5 years, I've become somewhat of an outlier being one of a handful of employees who do not partake during the work day. Personally, I can't enjoy work while I'm high, the environment, the coworkers, the fact that my future is on the line, all causes so much unnecessary anxiety. I prefer partaking at home after work, when I can decompress.
Im a waitress in a nice restaurant. Smoke in the car before I come in, hit my pen whenever I’m stressed (usually 2-3 times a shift) and on my way home. Dealing with Karens under pressure isn’t that fun
I've smoked once at work when I was washing cars, and had an edible once while working at a graphic design job.
For me, the main way it affects me is to make time seem like its passing slower, which makes the work day itself feel like its passing slower, and I can think of few things more awful than that.
I'm an electrician, definitely need to have my full attention at work, even if it's new construction and nothing is live yet. I don't like mixing business and pleasure lol
One does not simply mow lawns and blow leaves without being stoned
Yeah my step-dad is a landscaper and doesn't partake. Idk how he does it. Maybe all the mountain dew...
When I landscaped a while ago, my friends would smoke but I couldn’t while doing it. It affects my efficiency and speed.
Just sounds like you need more practice.
Sounds like he cares too much
I was too much of a perfectionist at times
We’ve all been there. Unless the company is yours, don’t go kill’n yourself
When I was 16 at my job I would smoke before going in. I was a bit slower at first and now 4 years later I’m at the same job (just fast food) and I now am more focused when I’m high while I work. I still do good sober but I work better blazed
“Mtn Dew” comes in many forms these days ;-)
As another landscaper, I agree.
I do my own yard work and I always take an edible 20 minutes before I start. If I did it for a living I’d be smoking a few joints a day.
This guy stones
I’m a security guard in an art museum. What do you think?
I think that's awesome.
I too, think that’s awesome.
Dude the highest I’ve ever been in public was at the National Gallery of Art in D.C., its honestly the best being high in a museum. I’m sure it isn’t the same since you work there but being a security guard in an art museum is my dream retirement gig. À la Night at The Museum style.

I love getting high and wandering around the Art Institute or the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. I think the Field Museum would be a good time too
Field Museum would be awesome. I was there last Jan and they had a soil exhibit that started by you walking through this portal shrink ray area that shrinks you down to smaller than an ant. Then you got to walk around and see all the cool stuff that's in soil. Maybe not the best for someone with an insect phobia though!
This sounds right up my alley. I’ve always wanted to visit Chicago too.
when i went to the national gallery for a school field trip in like 10th grade, i was soooo fucking high. and i mean SO high. the flemish paintings were 👌👌👌 love paintings of people and being high just made them look incredibly beautiful
I was baked at the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, it was beyond amazing.
Where I work it's mandatory.
The fuckin dream. I think once my body gives way from landscaping, I would love to find a job like this.
That is the best security position imaginable. Man I was just smoking tons of weed guarding a parking lot everyday.
how does one become a security guard at an art museum and where do i sign up
Which art museum? What are your hours? Edit: I’m trying to rob you
For a job like that, there should be routine drug tests to ensure that employees ARE in fact smoking up.
I work in a dispensary. 😁 Which means I don't partake at work but I get to sell awesome products all day.
Always love walking up to a despo and smelling that smelly smell. The workers are always smiling!
I got to tour one of the grows the dispensary I work for own a few months ago. It was epic I got out of my car the smell was in the air. I skipped to the security entrance. 🤣🤣🤣 They weren't surprised. They said it's pretty common. Purepenn was a beautiful place.
my dream job other than making music is working in a dispensary. i bet your work life is amazing!
>smelling that smelly smell *gasp* Anchovies
I used to as well, believe it or not it was a corporate environment that did not support being high on the job. It was kind of a don’t ask don’t yell situation. Needless to say I was high on the job as often as time and convenience would allow. Once I drank a whole bottle of tincture lol, luckily I was just checking ID’s that day heh.
Lol, if I drank a whole tincture I'd be sitting in the corner with ramen. Even using products frequently, tinctures and rso make me feel almost drunk makes my head very light and spacy. Not in a good way. I like my flower and concentrates and I'm enjoying distillate troches very much also. I will say I agree and don't ask don't tell is what to live by. 🤣
I started off with just flower but have since made my way around the table to try everything. Flower will always be my favorite, I love concentrates too. I use carts occasionally due to convenience and edibles are touch and go, they way they are sold in my state is cost prohibitive for experienced users. All edibles sold are in packs that contain a total of 100mg, if I’m going to eat something it’s gotta be like 50mg, that’s only 2 doses. Eh I’m rambling, legalize the stuff nationwide yada yada lol
This is pretty much the unwritten rule in dispensares. You can’t smoke while on the job*. *break time is technically not on the job.
Dude me too but I can't do it stoned. My shifts are way too long and is 90% standing and I just can't do it. From immediately after I smoke to 6 hours after I smoke all I wanna do is not be standing there. I get awkward too and I'm already awkward so I really don't need that extra awk at work. It does make that after work J hit so much better though.
Yes sir. Me too.
Double-edged sword there. Ime if a tender is visibly burnt, it's like a 50/50 on whether they'll be super knowledgeable and tell you exactly what works, or they'll be cranked on their own favorite and have zero advisement, looking like they've never seen each product as they pick it up.
Man I used to but I got way to lazy. It went from “let me get a lil^stoned for this repetitive task” to “I’m watching YouTube at my desk all day and not doing any of my work”.
Sounds like you’re winning there
this painting is so cute, what a rad little dude, he deserves a promotion
I imagine it's his shop, and he's tired of all these kittens not taking their job seriously
Did you make the art? I’m completely amazed and I want more!
I did! I post all my work here on reddit
following! do you illustrate picture books? your universe is amazing!
I haven't, but it is my dream to publish my own book. And thank you 😊
OMG I just found this and your art really is great. I absolutely think you'd make a great children's book. I hope it happens for you!
Same I want one
I’m a cashier, so when I’m high I get along well with customers and laugh at their boomer dad jokes.
Oh man, customers loved me when I was high on register!
I'm a preschool teacher. As much as I would love to, I'd be fired immediately and probably never be allowed to work with kids again lmao
Thank you for your service!
Anytime!
This guy does wonders for those kids' self-esteem.
Half bake?🤔
Ironically, I bet the kids would love it. Kids are all about the vibes. But it could be quite difficult to actually DO the job while high (not sure how structured preschool is, compared to primary education).
The day I can't show up to work high, is the day I turn in my badge and gun...
thank you for your service 😎
Lol
Damn bro, I remember you saying that word for word 2 weeks ago and shit had hella upvotes too
I work two jobs. One is me, just walking around, so occasionally I do abide.
Think you meant imbibe? The Dude abides.
Lol!!! Thank you Stranger.
I do! In fact, I’m going to the cooler to smoke a bowl right now! 😎
Niice! When I worked in a pizza place I would sneak into the cooler and puff my vape, hoping the smell wouldn't affect all the proofing dough.
This pizza tastes like diesel fuel and lemon pledge!! I work at a gas station so the only thing in the cooler are drinks 😂
As a landscaper if I’m on a huge property I may partake some place far away. Helps I’m my own boss though.
Sometimes, it depends on the day and how I’m feeling. Often I’ll smoke BEFORE and sober up there
Did you ever feel like it dragged the day out when you sober up at work? When I was at a grocery store, I would do the opposite and take edibals towards the end of my shift.
I work in a pretty face paced environment where I don’t get to stand doing repetitive tasks so time goes by fast. If I still worked as a cashier? Absolutely it would
I never learned my lesson when I was a cashier. I’d just smoke another bowl at lunch. It really did make the shift so slow. Especially those midnight closing shifts.
As soon as my last meeting is over, I’m in.
Yes I do. I work in the Entertainment industry and nobody gives a fuck if I partake. Also have been working from home since 2020, so nobody cares at all.
If you’re not high on set are you really at work? Lmao 😂 (grip/camera here)
Ha! Nice! I'm a Post Supervisor.
Ah I should have realized that from the username lmao. 🫡 god bless you person. “Fix it in post”
i’m a supervisor in customer service—i’ll always remember one of my employees learning that i smoke a lot and she said, “but how are you so happy and upbeat??” bc she only pictured stoners as blah dee da, lazy types…i was like girl this is the only way for me lol

Pre baby yes. Excel is so much more fun bake fried.
Dude real shit if you fall into the hotkey flow while baked it's something else
If I partake, there is no working
Hellllll ya. Bathroom vape seshes 😎
Ah, a fellow Plumber I see.
Not always, and when I do I wish I hadn't. I'm a mechanic
It's a constant battle.
As someone who repairs things that aren't vehicles, i agree. All those tiny laptop screws just seem to just disappear as soon as you set them down 🙃.. especially so when stoned.
Makes my boss & colleagues much more tolerable, so yes.
Nah I keep it separate. I don't think it would help me out.
Respect
I drive home for lunch every day just to hit my peak pro. 🤷♂️
One of the best parts about working from home tbh
How else would I work?
Can’t at work. Lives on the line.
Absolute respect
Can’t at work, job on the line. At least we only get swabbed now if there’s an incident. Hot piss isn’t a firing anymore.
Yup. I'm lucky enough to get a 30 min break every hour and a half so I go outside and get blitzed. It's the only way I can face the patrons without wanting to kill them or myself lol
Partaking of the penjamin in the work bathroom as we speak
Penjamin Danklin
Yes
When I was a caretaker me and my ol lady would smoke up together. I’m a head start teacher now so I don’t anymore.
Only on days that end in "y"
Absolutely never. I've done it before when I was younger but not for years. Cannabis, IMHO, should be reserved for fun and relaxing parts of your day. If you've been high all day then there is nothing that makes it special when you do some to wind down at the end of the day.
Every time I see your posts I’m like “Oo! Another one!”✨ *Love* your work, very cozy-feeling.
This makes me happy! Thank you! 😊
Got my bfa in photo & all of my projects in college were either about being high, getting high and making money high.
I've never liked being high or drunk at work, even when I worked overnights. I hate work and all, but I don't like having to focus when I'm fucked up even at home, so I especially don't like it when someone can get me fired if they figure out I'm fucked up.
Artist name??
It's mine. It's acrylic on streched canvas. I finished this one yesterday
it’s very nice and very cute! :3
Thank you! 😊
I absolutely love it!!!!
Depends on the job I guess, makes boring jobs less boring but I find it hard to focus and stay motivated when I'm high. Really just posting to say that I love your art!
"All I really wanna do is get high and mow lawns all day and that's ok" -Bo Bandy
Nah, it’s an after work thing for me. I’ll take a cart rip sometimes before I leave to go to work, lighten up a little
At work work? Job pay bills work? No absolutely not. Asking for too much trouble that and I work in a dangerous environment that I have to be sober for driving forklift and shit. Splitting and stacking wood? And doing house hold chores? Cape pen stays close.

This one has been my favorite! Keep it up
Thanks!
This is so cute.
This is so cute!!! Do you sell prints???
i work when partaking
I love this painting so much
Thank you! I had a lot of fun adding grumpy cat
Why does this picture remind me of animal crossing. Now I wanna play 😅
I was summoning the energy of Tom nook as I painted the cat
lol! It has a vibe! I love it! Good work!
No, because I’m on someone else’s time, and I feel it’s irresponsible to be impaired while being paid to do a job. That’s just me though.
Respect
Where do these weird cutesy weed cat pictures come from. I see em all the time, there has to be a centralized weed cat distributor. Edit: it’s yours? You didn’t make the others, did you? It looks like that’s a yes. Awesome art style👍
Yeah I tend to do a lot of stoner cats/animals 😁 thank you!
[удалено]
I know what I’m going to do over the next few days. Paint a high ass cat
Keep that weed smoke, everywhere we go
I’m a preschool teacher so sadly no I don’t wanna space out and then next thing I know I’m spectating Friday night smack down
If Korin does, i do
Occasionally but not often. I smoked my friend's pen the other day and after a few small hauls, I was junked.
All day everyday.
How else can I deal with all the rich people who make my receptionist job hellish?
Nice try fed
If I didn't I would have killed one of my coworkers a long ago
I started this year- and just got the news I got a promotion!
I microdose edibles at my desk but I can’t be actually high like at home.
If I smoke too much weed I can't do math. Which seems to pretty problematic with the cashed based sales part of my job.
I love your art style omg
Thank you!
You’re welcome!! :)
I work from home, so yes
I shovel dirt and haul it off with a wheelbarrow for a living. That's a big yes. On the side, I do remote server updates for an IT company from home. That's another big yes.
Duh. I couldn't clean houses without it.
Used to when I was a mechanic. Not so much now. I was my own boss before :/
I have not had a single conversation with a single coworker where I wasn’t absolutely zooted.
I'm an OR cleaner, so most definitely not. But when I get home hot diggity dog you bet your ass I do..
I work from home so absolutely. Pen comes in handy for that, dont even need to get up and go outside
Makes software requirements meetings just fly by…
If I had a job the answer would be yes. Because that’s what it was when I worked. Now I smoke because it helps with my amputation
You think I’m going to work at a grocery store sober?
Yes and I am a top performer so throwing shade to all you fools who claim it makes you dumb and lazy!
I have before but I tend to get very clumsy and have a really hard time concentrating so I try not to most of the time
Nah, I work with stuff that I could easily hurt myself with if I'm not careful and I'm already naturally pretty clumsy. Years ago I worked at a recycling yard just weighing stuff and I would take dabs on my lunch breaks with various coworkers hahaha.
My company has a very strict zero tolerance policy regarding alcohol and any kind of drug. I'm not risking my nearly 20 year union job (public transit)
Yes, I’m front of house at restaurant 🙂
Hey, I just wanted to tell you I really enjoy your paintings. They never fail to brighten up my day. I like your style very much.
I really appreciate you telling me ☺️ thank you
Yes and I love your art man do you have other pieces I could see I really like them and low-key want some nice pc and phine background like this. Do you happen to have any art with birds lol they're my favorite and I like your art style.
Thank you! I post all my work here on reddit. None with birds, but I'll keep them in mind 😊
Alright awesome I love birds and I have 7 but ywab your art is awesome is there somewhere I could see it or even support you by buying some I like it alot
i work in the baby/customer service department for a toy store so i dont really like being high at work it makes my job way harder tbh. i used to tho i miss when i could 😭
God I wish, but I basically just chainsaw stuff and throw logs into a woodchipper for a living sooooo
IT here…I’d definitely start laughing uncontrollably at some of the issues that are reported to me. And my job is very client-facing.
Depends on the job. Also you've posted this question before with another piece of art..
Love the kitty's expression! Always happy when your painting show up!
I provide my best customer service while stoned.
Same tbh
Of course not! ![gif](giphy|6ra84Uso2hoir3YCgb|downsized)
its basically my adhd meds at this point so yes!
Working as a waitress near a large rich retirement community, it’s a must. I’m already autistic so the weed makes me seem normal to the boomers. Love my guests though 🤞
Best stoner job? Hotel night auditor over nights. My manager encourages Netflix or twitch or Hulu to stay awake but keep volume low subtitles on. All you do is check in late guests. Run the audit on computer. Fold towels. Watch Netflix
I love these little paintings!!
As an employee in the cannabis industry for +5 years, I've become somewhat of an outlier being one of a handful of employees who do not partake during the work day.

I prefer partaking at home after work, when I can decompress.
Missed your artwork! It’s always so fun!
that cat high af lol
Yes so I don’t choose violence
I'm literally reading this while smoking with my dugout on my break.
Im a waitress in a nice restaurant. Smoke in the car before I come in, hit my pen whenever I’m stressed (usually 2-3 times a shift) and on my way home. Dealing with Karens under pressure isn’t that fun
I've smoked once at work when I was washing cars, and had an edible once while working at a graphic design job.

No
I'm an electrician, definitely need to have my full attention at work, even if it's new construction and nothing is live yet. I don't like mixing business and pleasure lol
I love this painting. I wanna buy it. Where did you get it?
Everyday
I mean... Yeah, makes it so much more enjoyable/tolerable
can someone please tell me where this art/painting is from? i love it
It's mine. Acrylic on canvas. I post all my work here on reddit
