  • </Let the Right One In, S01>
  • "I've become the thing I hate. It's like a Netflix drama down here, and I don’t mean an accidentally good one, I mean a regular ass Netflix drama." (Rick and Morty, S06E10)
  • "Let's get your embarrassing ass lightsaber back so you can swing it around instead of kissing girls." (Rick and Morty, S06E10)

How did we all get this way? How do we all get put on this trajectory where we all ended up with the same boring life, you know? I miss longing. I miss…desire. And it's not Adam. Adam is great, okay?

How was I supposed to know that, one day, in seeking the safety of a grown-up life, I would lose that power? I am 41 now. I can't believe how briefly I held that power. I can't believe how briefly I held it and how quickly I gave it away.

Morgan English was sitting on the fire escape in her Portland State University apartment, smoking weed, when she felt a pull toward a stationary bicycle.

[pause]

English owns and teaches classes for Stoned+Toned, a fitness company that blends cannabis and fitness in pursuit of community and a more pleasurable workout.

The Los Angeles-based company is among those betting big on the legal cannabis boom bringing fitness along. San Francisco is home to a "cannabis gym" that encourages visitors to light up and lift. A "Pelostoned" Facebook group has thousands of members who smoke cannabis and ride their stationary bikes.

Prerecorded classes, which range from yoga to Pilates to cycling, begin with an introduction: what the instructor is smoking, and why.

Instructors then take a hit of weed — hand-selected strains sold in local dispensaries paired with each class — and smoke on and off throughout the warmup.

The exercise, [English] said, isn't mandatory.

"If you want to lay on your mat or go grab a slice of pizza, you can do that."

"When I used cannabis in my workouts, I would find less inhibition to try something that looked really hard," Clark said. "There are some instructors that do a lot of squatting and a lot of leg-heavy movement, and without cannabis I might approach it like, 'That’s too hard, I can't do that.'"
