And for the ten next pages, Tai is not saying anything else than "Haha, here we go" :D

traroth:
Reminds me of the first time I smoked cannabis (resin, it's the easiest stuff to find, here in France), in the 90s. We were four friends and I was the only one who hadn't tried it yet. One of them had rolled two spliffs, and we sat in circle in the grass like real hippies. When we were done, I was completely stoned. And worst, when we got up, I got up too fast, and the blood retired from my brain. The way I then collapsed against a nearby wall was the main joke for weeks after that... :D

I'm guessing you're using the term "trip" liberally. I usually reserve the term for hallucinogens (LSD, magic mushrooms, etc). Marijuana isn't an hallucinogen, but the seriously high doses available through vaping oil can have weird effects. And there was a spate for a while of some marijuana being laced with other drugs, which just fucks everything up. I don't know how likely it is that a cannabis oil product would be laced with anything else, and certainly not a legally available commercial product.
However Claire is definitely heading to a new location!
--- Quote from: Thrillho on 09 Nov 2018, 05:55 ---Yeah you are correct that any kind of experimentation with narcotics really should include at least one experienced user to act as a guide.
--- End quote ---
OK, Marijuana - in any form - is not a narcotic. Narcotics are pain relievers that specifically target the opioid receptors in the nervous system for pain relief, and are addictive. While marijuana can have a pain relieving effect, it's not a narcotic, and has been shown to be no more (physically) addictive than chips. Psychological addiction is a different story, as it is with anything else.
--- Quote ---Doesn't just apply to drugs either. There's sexual experimentation, even other completely non-threatening activities.
--- End quote ---
Yes, you should definitely have an experienced guide on any kind of trip - even the ones where you're actually just traveling!

BlueFatima:
I worked in a university library for several years while I was in college. Yes, these friend/coworker/boss relationships are accurate (at least compared to the experiences I had). I became close platonic friends with a boss. We roomed together after I quit, too...so if you want to talk about blurred boundaries and working relationships there you go.
I actually miss that place to the point I'd consider going back to work at a library even though it is out of my field, and I'd make a fraction of my current earnings. It was like a family with few of the vices and dysfunctionality most families have, and it had good benefits, too, between healthcare and tuition remission. People were professional, but their personalities were casual. We were just a bunch of nerds who loved to read, help people, and maybe enjoyed categorizing things as well. Of course, I'm sure not every library is like that, but when I see Marten, Tai, and Claire working together, it brings me back fond memories.
OldGoat:
Since neither Claire nor Magustus* have voiced any objections to Tai's presence - indeed, the seem very glad she's joined them - Tai cannot have transgressed. No one else has any standing to object. It's not unlike certain church-goers objecting to the activities of consenting adults out of public view. It's none of their God damned business.
On the other hand, chocolate chip cookies are usually baked at 350°F/177°C and will certainly generate copious quantities of smoke if left in too long. Further, the inhalation of the products of combustion of Nature's Leaf is alleged to have a marked effect upon the individual's perception of time (or so I'm told). Concern about an excess of cookie fumes engendering a fire service response is thoroughly justified.
