Trying Video Games for the First Time in My 50s: My Thoughts While High

I I have a complicated relationship with marijuana. I wish I could like it more, but I’m a control freak, and when I smoke marijuana it relaxes me for about 3 minutes, but then I lose control and have a panic attack.

I live in Canada, where tobacco is legal, and the government stores are full of weird tobacco products in all shapes and sizes. There are even canned drinks that are pungent, like the anti-Red Bull. It’s all very appealing. And I’ve never tried a video game that gets me high.

You know how this goes, right?

I chose three games I hadn’t played yet on three different consoles: Super Mario Odyssey on the Switch, Dead Island 2 on the Xbox One, and Marvel’s Midnight Sons on the PS4.
