That's how I ring in all of my New Year's. I figure if I'm going to go out stoned, I might as well go in stoned. This year, I'm not quite sure. I'll probably just get insanely drunk, seeing as how I've never started a year off drunk.
And that "blank stare" thing is awful. The worst is when you're all just standing in a big circle, staring at different things around the backyard (or wherever you're smoking). I never know what to do, but I've noticed that if someone just walks inside, everyone will follow, and then, to the couch we go.
Best movie to watch while stoned: A Clockwork Orange. I watched it once, liked it, watched it while stoned, LOVED it. There's just so much extra shit that you pick up on when you're blazed.
The problem I have with weed is that when I start smoking, I can't turn down the possibility of more weed. I used to sell chronic with my best friend, and we'd just go to parties, find a nice spot in the backyard to sit at, and blaze all night. People would come over and be like, "Oh, you guys smoking? I'll match you bowls." So, after we'd smoke two on our own, someone would come along, offer to match us, and we'd smoke two more. Then they'd leave, someone else would come over and say, "I see you guys are smoking. Wanna smoke some homegrown AK-47?" And you can't just turn down homegrown AK-47, even if it hadn't had the chance to properly dry yet. It would go on like that all night. We'd finish with homegrown guy, someone else would come over and say, "Let's smoke another bowl, I'll match you," then homegrown would come back and say, "Shit, I need to smoke another bowl." We'd end up smoking around 9 bowls a night on the weekends.
I smoke maybe once or twice a month now, and I must tell you: I really don't miss smoking. Something about having a clear state of mind and remembering where I put my car keys is just much nicer.
