Even though my friends and I enjoy living in Eugene, Oregon, we tend to get bored doing the same things over and over.
We have gone hiking in the Fox Hollow Trailhead, Skinner Butte Park, Martin Street Trail, and Wild Iris Ridge Park on numerous occasions.
We attend games at Autzen Stadium and concerts at the Hult Center of Performing Arts. Sometimes we have to get creative with our recreational activities if we’ve gone to the same places around the city repetitively. It used to be fun driving down interstate 126 in the middle of the night so we could stop and smoke marijuana along the banks of Fern Ridge Lake. Getting high and exploring the outdoors is easy in Eugene, but there are plenty of fun indoor destinations as well. Recently we all stopped at a cannabis dispensary to buy marijuana edibles to eat as we walked into the front doors at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. These were some serious cannabis brownies with 150mg of THC in every serving. By the time we got our tickets and were inside the Museum, I could feel the effects start to kick in. We were so high during our trip at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art that we couldn’t appreciate anything past being in awe at how ridiculous every aspect of the world felt while on so much cannabis. By the time we left the museum and started heading home, the cannabis was finally starting to wear off. The next time my friends and I want to get high before doing something fun in Eugene, I think we’ll stick to the nature trails or similar scenic attractions.
