I've been a lurker for a while, but just registered because Danashae's post resonated with me so much. So... hi everyone.
I don't live on Long Island, but I used to live in Brooklyn and had friends in Long Island - just a few months ago I was visiting and took that drive while completely blazed crazy! It really is gorgeous at night with no other cars on the road, the sky opening up above you and beautiful beaches on either side.
A huge portion of my teenage years were spent getting high and driving around all night through winding back roads. Anybody here live anywhere with an insane firefly population in the summer? Driving down a stretch of road that cuts between giant fields that just light up with fireflies at night is absolutely incredible when you're lit up (punny!) I totally recommend it, speaking of weed making things feel adventurous, that always made me feel like I was on a Lord of the Rings ride at Universal Studios or something.
