Or can we just bundle it up and toss it in the washing machine, pretending it never happened. And my response is that it does need to be discussed for two reasons. The first being because it\u2019s good to create healthy discourse about things you are normally too embarrassed to bring into public view. And two, because we\u2019ve all peed the sheets. No one is ever proud of this unfortunate mishap, but it\u2019s ok, everyone knows you didn\u2019t do it purposefully, it was just an accident more than once. And either because you were a child traumatized by your divorcing parents, or you simply have an old lady\u2019s bladder. Or you blacked the fuck out. Listen, I\u2019ve had a few hard drinking friends who should\u2019ve had a plastic wrap around their mattress. But can you picture the look on a person\u2019s face when you\u2019re getting romantic, and the first sound is that of lying on top of an unopened Amazon package? Talk about a buzz kill. No one wants to feel like they\u2019re about to get busy on a hospital bed. I mean, putting on a condom is awkward enough. I\u2019m gonna come clean here. I was a bed wetter until the age of ten. In fact, I soaked my pants during recess in the 4th grade, terrified to re-enter the classroom. Hiding the wet leg wasn\u2019t so difficult in the self-imposed solitary confinement of the boy\u2019s restroom but passing through the gauntlet to my desk in the back of the room after the bell rung was a different mission. And sure enough, Reggie the class clown caught me dead in my tracks. \u201cYou Peed!\u201d he yelped, pointing directly to the massacre. Wetting the bed at that age was humiliating, but peeing your pants was a scarlet letter. It\u2019s ok, I\u2019ve come to terms with it, and it made me a stronger person. Maybe this is why my favorite weed strain today is Cheatah Piss.   ","author_name":"Stoney Baloney | A Narrated Cannabis Column","author_url":"https:\/\/leafmagazines.com\/podcasts\/stoney-baloney\/","html":"
