I love weed and smoking pot and reading. Its especially dope to do both at the same time, but not all books are good to read while baked (tried reading A Clockwork Orange stoned and was confused and pissed for two chapters before putting it back on the shelf). Basically the way I look at it is this: when youre high you either want simple and easy to follow prose or prose that is beautiful and meant for you to get lost in. So thats what I'm looking for basically. Just dope books to get baked and read.

I mean dungeon crawler Carl bc it is easy to read and follow. Vonnegut is very funny.
Comics/graphic novels are good: Dope Rider, Meg and Mogg, Prince Valiant, Calvin & Hobbes, Tintin, etc, etc
Ray Bradbury has beautiful, descriptive prose and wrote lots of cool short stories; *The Illustrated Man* is my favorite collection.
Philip K Dick wrote a ton of weird, drug-fueled shit. The short stories are often very *Twilight Zone*-esque and the novels explore big philosophical ideas with weird, outlandish stories. *Ubik, A Scanner Darkly,* and *Eye in the Sky* are some of my favorites.
Ursula K Le Guin’s *The Lathe of Heaven* is about a guy whose dreams may or may not retroactively alter reality.
*John Dies at the End* and *How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe* are the funniest books I’ve ever read; the latter does have some sad, “real” moments, but the former is mostly balls-out ridiculous.
