    Note: This stuff is also enjoyable sober. But not as enjoyable. Sorry, Grandma.

    1. Order a dank pizza at Mellow Mushroom.

    2. Take in the great outdoors – specifically the Blue Ridge Mountains – in your newly altered state of mind.

    3. Buy a dime bag and a drum to create colorful, far out music at the Friday evening drum circle downtown.

    4. If you consider guacamole a food group (doesn't everyone?) and have a serious case of the munchies...get to White Duck Taco Shop.

    5. TRIP OUT over the Asheville nun. Like. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

    6. Surround yourself with profound knowledge at The Battery Park Book Exchange.

    7. Have a joint in one hand and paintbrush in the other in the River Arts District.

    8. Loaf your tanked body to 12 Bones to go in on ribs, greens, grits, and cornbread.

    9. Get your cross-buzz on literally by the water at The Bywater.

    11. Hot-box in a trippy piece of vehicular art.

    12. Have someone carry your blazed ass to Dough.

    13. If you're craving a particularly enlightened high, idle over to Asheville Community Yoga.

    14. Have a staring contest with the buskers.

    15. Puff, puff, pass with students at Warren Wilson College.

    16. The city's motto?
