When Your Shroom Trip Makes You Transport a Dead Body (ft. Graeme Barrett) – Tales From the Trip - Summary

Summary

The story is about a man named Graham who, along with his girlfriend, embarks on a trip to Los Angeles after the lockdown. They visit a friend's house, where they consume a substance called Snoop Juice, which turns out to be a serum. The night is filled with whale noises from cassette tapes and the effects of the Snoop Juice.

In the early hours of the morning, they take an Uber ride in a Tesla. The driver, who seems to be angry, is unable to understand how to open the door handle. Graham, trying to defuse the situation, yells at the driver, who eventually lets them in.

Upon reaching their Airbnb, they find it difficult to exit the Tesla due to its unique door mechanism. They eventually manage to get out, but the mushrooms and Snoop Juice they consumed are causing stomach issues.

Graham's girlfriend falls asleep, and he initially thinks she is dead. However, he realizes she is just sleeping deeply. The story ends with them going for brunch the next day. The moral of the story is that if your friends are on mushrooms and they fall asleep, they are probably not dead.
