Dear Stoner: How do people enjoy going to the gym high? Exercising alone or with friends, I can vibe with. But being surrounded by a bunch of random people in a packed gym full of ego and testosterone sounds like a terrible environment for being stoned.

Dear Doof: Being in a crowded public space of any kind sucks when you're stoned, but some people become extroverts on the devil's lettuce. Add a strain with an outgoing high to the mix, and you've got one chatty Cathy.

You also have to consider the motivational factor of cannabis. Just the act of getting my fat ass to the gym is a chore, let alone the time spent waiting for a machine to open up or having to walk around someone filming their deadlift set. I'm with you: Being high in one big, crowded, sweaty sphincter of a place sounds awful, but I can also see why someone wouldn't want to go through that completely clear-headed, either.

Add in how easy it is to zone out with headphones, and a stoned gym session almost sounds appealing — until it's time to talk to someone. Good luck with flirting or confronting a bench bully while high at the gym.
