$20? I wish

Psilocybin is expensive where you live. I weep for you.

This strip was also written in 2001 so I'm prices have changed.

This was the first strip I laughed at while at work - a place where jovial times are frowned upon.

Eh, it's pretty much stayed the same around the Bay since then.

[IMGS OFF]

I grow them, they are freaky little dudes, my cubes.

mad props dogg for that large of tasks

tbh, it's not that hard if you read up on what you're doing. and after 1 or two grows you'll be quite secure in knowing what to do, and it's easy seeing as you can reuse cakes.

ALSO:
Never pay more than $25 for an 1/8 of shrooms unless they're creepy-looking and blue, kids!

and in AU dollars? cause thats more than what i pay.

I could do the currency conversion but location determines supply and demand so I have no idea.

Who pays for shrooms in Australia? Go for a nature walk and pick your own mate, they're everywhere :)

hey i tried that once and vomited everywhere. also, sydeny has about as much nature as a bag of soap.

man you are insane
have you been to LA? NYC? sydney is utter wilderness compared to them.

You live way out in the western suburbs or something?

Sydney is a verdant, animal-filled wonderland of nature considering that it's a city of 3 million people.

Not too many cows about, it's true, but I don't really think of farm animals as a part of the natural world.

How much nature does a bag of soap have, anyway?

I think we're up to 7 million now cracklewater. In answer to your search: Southern Highlands. Fly Agaric. Holy Shit.

4 million born in three months? Damn Aussies, breeding like rabbits..

in a jealous way

Breed. No one in Sydney gets dirty!

they dont breed. they assimilate like the borg. and the jews.

Wow.
These are, I think, the biggest eyes Philippe has had, besides those present in your avatar.

Don't look into his eyes! Don't- oh shit...

OHHH SHIIIIT!!

::Sigh:: Connecticut, get your act together. $45/eigth USD since 2000.

Cue old timers groaning about the price of a bag

thank you again internet, for allowing us the freedom to read comics about REAL issues. garfield got high all the time, jim davis wasn't allowed to publish those strips.

yeah, why else would he always be eating?

My god, the eating, the lethargy, the casual douchebaggery to his housemates....

<i> Garfield is really about struggling to live with a friend who is a drug dealer </i>

god damn syndicate.

Back when Philippe was hardcore

Philippe is still hardcore. The! Dude! Is! Rad!

I love this strip because it made me laugh out loud, but is also really hard to explain to people in the office.

What makes me laugh is that Phillipe is so high he's actually floating in the air.

At least my ecstasy is safe in the Skittles...

more floating philippe with dilating pupils, pls.

[IMGS OFF]

20 what is that like a gram or two? That is just not enough grams.

i think it's accurate to say that prices vary widely based on region, season, connections and your desire to find a deal

I like the Jim Morrison pseudo-reference, especially since Philippe almost certainly has no idea who The Doors are.

really? what song is that?
Also, Philippe's big eyes make this strip. Oh drugs!

"The End", which features such lines as "Ride the snake", and "The snake is long / seven miles"

could a snake even ride a motorcycle?

i imagine it could ride upon it, though probably not drive it.

Because of a problem?

Also: Celebration of the Lizard.

Fun fact: Every song ever recorded by The Doors is about Jim Morrison's dong.

On nights when no groupie was available, Morrison would spend the evening alone, striking down the Unknown Soldier.

...and every night his little soldiers fell to unmarked graves.

could be worse.

could be riding a mile, six inches at a time
on maynard's
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

I make that about 10,700 strokes, allowing for a few dozen repetitions shorter than the specified 6in.

"Ride the snake"...?

jim "eyeroll" morrison strikes again.

Seriously the worst lyricist to ever have a good organ player in the background.

(I might expect to be flamed for saying that if the post weren't over a year old. What am I doing with my life?)

Mushrooms have never worked out quite as well for me, and I guess I'm a little jealous about it.

Me either! For some reason they just don't work for me. Like, at all. It makes me sad. And it's super lame to be around a bunch of hallucinating people when you're not. (Unless they're Phillipe. In that case, I'd be OK with it.)

They made me pretty crazy for a few hours! I didn't really hallucinate though. I just had Ideas.

Me too! I had so many Ideas! The 3rd or 4th time I took them, in amsterdam, I wrote down like about 30 pages in a notebook while in a cafe, then left a $20 euro tip (for one coffee) and bought the most expensive bottle of wine I could find (a present). I had worked out a THEORY OF ACTION!! And it worked for about 5 days!! Then I had to do my dissertation :(

See, I wish I had had a notebook or something so I could have written down what I thought about. Most of it seems too abstract now.

I've never taken drugs but sometimes I have dreams where I think up the BEST IDEA EVER, usually ideas for stories. Sometimes they are mine and sometimes they are told to me by other people. Then when I wake up I can't remember what it was and I get very sad. I try to comfort myself by thinking that if I could revisit the dream in a rational, awake state of mind then the idea would make no sense, so it wasn't a loss to forget it, but then I think that man it would be cool if I could come up with fantasy novels in my head but no that would mean it was a small tragedy every time I woke up, but that thought is arrogant so I don't think it anymore.

I regret this post.

Kinda seemed like you were on drugs.

I have never been on drugs.

Drugs are bad, kids.

this has always been one of my favorites.

Like last week when Marmaduke ate all the family shrooms..

And when Jeffy's dotted line just ran around in circles and then climbed up a tree to try to talk to Grampa in heaven.

A common lament. My mother knew that I would die one day indeed.

set, setting, body weight.

What is it like to see someone die? I wonder if my mom knows.

It seems like (relative to more recent drug-related strips) this was sort of a cursory exploration into both the target audience and target humor of the Achewood universe.

While it's easy to see why Onstad might expect a preponderance of the web-comic audience to be interested in "specific" drug humor (meaning that the strip doesn't make a lot of sense unless you have a semi-intimate knowledge with hallucinogens), I've always appreciated the extent to which he melds this obvious prejudice of his demographic into a more playful, innocuous context. Periodically, he's gone into more specifics (Roast Beef in the golf cart, Ray under the table) to great success, but he also manages to keep these forays into the illicit within the same perspective of everything else.

A bit of a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge," but without the exclusivity of a real "inside joke" OR the over-played banality of stoner humor.

He truly is a man of the people.

Looking back on this it does seem like he was testing us. Any drug related humor that comes about now tends to be more low brow than stereotypical.

stereotypical drug humor IS low-brow.

Who hides shrooms in trail mix?

A man who knows he's about to go on a journey.

ba dum ching!

Teodor.

Excellent. Phil's comments in the last panel are... optimum.

I cannot lie, "The End" is a very good song to just put on and chill to

All mothers know this information. They know it harder than anyone else, i think.

I never really pictured Teodor as much of psychonaut, but it's not totally out of character. He is usually pretty down, after all. and there's that strip in the mr. band/nice pete/secret ice cream shop arc where he smokes ray up on the roof.

I love Phillipe's eyes in the last frame. Too good.

personally i don't pay by weight
i pay per cap/stem
$2 a cap, usually
unless my friend feels generous
i can get a pretty nice groove goin on $10

that's $american, you commie bastards

Wow, that's cheap.

5 caps for 10 dollars is not cheap.

kinda depends though, yeah? i've had just massive caps before. five of the right size cap is a good time.

It is compared to the prices around these parts. $10 a cap!

One of my favorite strips. There's something so haunting about what Phillipe says, especially coming from Phillipe. And especially when we consider that at this point Phillipe was still a retarded alive stuffed otter.
