$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.

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

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.

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...

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?

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.

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.

Also: Celebration of the Lizard.

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

could be worse.

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

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.)

this has always been one of my favorites.

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

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.

I think you meant "trip."

ba dum ching!

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.

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.
