- The Adventures Of -
Ziggy, Marley, and Cheech: The Bakening -

Once upon a time, there were three cannabis enthusiasts named Ziggy, Marley, and Cheech. They were all invited to a fancy party, and Ziggy, being the youngest and least experienced smoker, decided to bring a joint to share with his friends.

As they passed the joint around, they started to feel the effects of the potent strain Ziggy had picked out. Marley got lost in a conversation with a potted plant, Cheech couldn’t stop giggling at the wallpaper, and Ziggy found himself staring at a bowl of fruit for what felt like hours.

Eventually, they stumbled across a group of people discussing the benefits of meditation. Cheech, feeling inspired, exclaimed, “I love meditating! It’s like getting high, but without having to smoke anything!”

Ziggy and Marley looked at each other confused. “Wait, what do you mean, Cheech?” asked Ziggy.

“Think about it,” Cheech replied. “When you smoke weed, it’s like taking a shortcut to relaxation and introspection. But with meditation, you can achieve those same feelings through your own mental power.”

The three friends pondered Cheech’s words for a moment before Marley spoke up. “So, what you’re saying is that marijuana is just a crutch for people who can’t meditate?”

Ziggy and Cheech both burst out laughing. “Yeah, man, I guess you could say that!”

As the party came to an end, the trio said their goodbyes and headed home. On the drive back, Ziggy thought about Cheech’s revelation and couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed. Had he been relying too heavily on weed to find inner peace and happiness?

Just then, a billboard caught his eye. It read, “Don’t judge someone just because they smoke weed. Maybe they’re just using it to enhance their meditation practice.”

Ziggy couldn’t help but laugh. As the hidden punch line was revealed, he realized that his anxiety had been unfounded. He was proud to be a cannabis enthusiast and a believer in the power of meditation. And who knows, maybe someday he’ll be able to achieve that same level of relaxation without the help of Mary Jane. But for now, he was happy to enjoy his joint in peace

• The Cannabis Adventures Of: Ziggy, Marley and Cheech - The Summer of 1975-

It was the summer of 1975, and the sun was beating down on Ziggy, Marley, and Cheech as they sat on a rooftop in downtown LA. They had just finished smoking a joint and were now lounging in the warm breeze. Ziggy was the youngest of the three, and he had been meditating for weeks, hoping to find enlightenment. Marley, on the other hand, was the creative one, always drawing and writing while high. Cheech was the joker of the group, laughing and joking around no matter what.

“I think we should go on a cannabis adventure,” Marley suggested. “It could be a journey of self-discovery, or we could just smoke up and see where the day takes us.”

“I’m in,” Cheech said. “But we should bring snacks.”

Ziggy nodded in agreement, and the three of them set off on their adventure.

As they strolled through the city, they encountered a street musician playing a soulful tune on his guitar. Marley was immediately drawn in, and as he approached him, he asked if he could join in and jam with him. The musician happily agreed, and Marley pulled out his own guitar. They began to play together, creating a beautiful melody that filled the air.

Ziggy closed his eyes and meditated as the music resonated within him, feeling at one with the universe. Cheech, on the other hand, was busy munching on his snacks, enjoying the music but also making jokes and trying to lighten the mood.

The trio moved on, wandering through the streets and stopping to admire anything that caught their eye. They found themselves in a beautiful park, surrounded by nature. They sat down on the soft grass and took out their smoking supplies. Ziggy started to meditate again, while Marley began to sketch and draw.

Cheech decided to poke some fun at Ziggy’s meditation. “I bet I can make him laugh,” he said, grinning mischievously. “Watch this.”

He started to make goofy faces while Ziggy sat there with his eyes closed. Ziggy’s concentration broke, and he opened his eyes to see Cheech making weird faces. He started to laugh, and the others joined in, releasing any tension that might have been building up.

As they smoked and laughed, they noticed a group of people in the distance who seemed to be having a good time. They decided to investigate and soon found themselves in the middle of a festival celebrating alternative lifestyles and art.

There were vendors selling all sorts of trinkets, live music, and performers of all kinds. Marley was in his element, drawing inspiration from the colorful performances, while Cheech made friends with some of the vendors and performers, making jokes and having a great time.

Ziggy, however, felt a deeper connection with the people and the atmosphere. He closed his eyes and meditated, feeling as if he was part of something greater than himself. He felt a sense of unity and love, knowing that he was not alone in his quest for enlightenment.

As the sun began to set, the trio made their way back to the rooftop where they started. They sat in silence, watching the stars twinkle in the sky. Ziggy felt a sense of peace and clarity, while Marley was bursting with ideas for his art. Cheech was happy just to have had a good time and felt rejuvenated after a day of laughter and fun.

“I think we should do this again,” Marley said, breaking the silence. “This was amazing.”

“I agree,” Cheech said. “But next time, we bring even more snacks.”

Ziggy smiled, feeling grateful for his friends and for the adventure they had just shared. He knew that even though they were all different, they shared a common love for cannabis and the joy it brought them. He closed his eyes and meditated once more, feeling at peace with himself and the world around him. They got up, packed their things, and left the rooftop as the night sky took hold of the city.

-The Adventures Of: Ziggy, Marley, and Cheech:-
-The Monsoon Misadventures in the Mystical Indian Rainforest-

On a warm summer day, three friends set out on an adventure in a lush Indian rainforest. Ziggy, Marley, and Cheech were all excited to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the forest, each with their own unique interests in mind.

As they walked through the dense vegetation, Ziggy noticed a figure sitting on a boulder, eyes closed in deep meditation. He could see just beyond the distance Marley talking to a beautiful lady dressed like she’s ready for the catwalk. Ziggy turned his gaze back to the black figure silhouette in front of him. Ziggy, being a devout meditator himself, couldn’t resist approaching the figure to learn more. To his surprise, the figure was a Hindu Monk who was happy to share his insights with Ziggy.

The Monk explained that even monks have their weaknesses and that they, too, experience distractions in life. Ziggy felt enlightened by this new perspective and realized that one’s flaws and distractions do not make them any less pure. He felt a sense of peace within himself and the world around him.

Meanwhile, Marley stumbled upon a woman who was fabulously dressed like she’s getting ready for a nice meal. At first, he was quick to judge her and label her a whore. However, as they began talking, Marley learned that the woman had been pushed to the streets due to societal circumstances and was doing what she had to do to survive. She explained she visits the Monk for advice with her struggles in life, and he never has anything to teach her. Marley felt empathy and compassion for her and realized that it was important to understand others’ stories before making judgments.

Lastly, Cheech encountered an injured animal on the road and immediately ran to its aid. As he examined the animal, he noticed that its leg was broken. Cheech felt a deep spiritual connection to the animal and knew that he had to save its life. As he cradled the injured creature, he contemplated the fragility of life and the importance of letting go of all attachments in life.

As the three friends reunited and shared their experiences, they realized how much they had learned about themselves and each other. Cheech says, “Do you think the Monk was having a sexual relationship with that ‘Whore’?” Ziggy and Marley replied both at the same time. “No, but I bet he’s thought about it!” Ziggy then said shyly, “Well, I thought about it, and she’s lying, and he’s lying. She’s his escort.”

They had all grown in different ways and had newfound respect for one another’s differences. They made a pact to always judge less and love more, and to carry the valuable lessons they had learned on their adventure in the rainforest with them for the rest of their lives.

Great writing @TechDCo , and the story is growing legs. Thank you for sharing and looking for the next Sunday story time.

[TechDCo]

Thank you for reading, brother. I hope that 'it
loses its legs. I cannot allow 'it to run away from me imagine these characters as bobble-heads, they would all fall over eventually

[chrisj]

Just keep it flowing, this is your story. These characters have a lot going for them. How did you design such a sick graphic? What program did you use?

[TechDCo]

I didn’t design these. I took them right of google they’re just for visualization purposes as you read. I would love an’ animator to get involved.

[chrisj]

Damn good idea, animator who can make bobble heads? Do your first 10 articles and lets take it from there.

[TechDCo]

3D printers could make bobbleheads easy. It can’t be too difficult to do - just like finding the money to buy one! At the moment, I am more into introspection and the journey.

[chrisj]

This was done through an app on a phone using AI, you should try it yourself. But you welcome to use this unique image if you like.

The Adventures of Ziggy Marley and Cheech.

[TechDCo]

Lovely. I would love characters of different ages, like ethnicity, backgrounds that represent the Old, New and Young generations. The diversity of different perspectives on life.

One character has an alter ego, or maybe two do, who knows, I don’t want to reveal to much, but they all have their own ideologies about life. The reader will figure it out over time, every adventure ties into character building. The different stories and outlooks from a distorted brain.
Stay tuned.

[chrisj]

I love it, the characters of your story are building. Looking forward to the the next sunday story. Have a great week and keep dreaming and writing.
