Breaking: Pittsburgh Declared Official Capital of Funky, Unrepentant High Times!
Oh, Pittsburgh. The city that gave us Steel City, Primanti Bros, and all the warm fuzzy feelings of reuniting with your bank account after a long week of “what do you mean it’s, like, subjective?” Cue the triumphant music—because now it’s also the confirmed hotspot for those looking to climb to new heights (literally and metaphorically)! Turns out, if you take a little dip into your local green gold, you’ll discover that exploring the burgh is a whole lot more fun while elevated, despite what Bill Watterson said about not doing drugs, man!
A Warm, Cozy Welcome to the Buhl Planetarium! Or, as I like to call it: "Getting High and Intergalactic!"
What better way to appreciate the vastness of space than reclining in a projector’s glow, surrounded by fellow cosmos-craving thrill-seekers who all know that this is definitely the best way to “see stars” while not being gifted a pair of 3D glasses? You might think you’re just relaxing in a dark room, but we all know it’s just a clever setup for gazing at space while contemplating if the universe is really as absurd as your pizza delivery being late… again.
And let’s not forget their intellectually stimulating Laser Symphony of the Stars! Because what screams educational science more than profound existential questions accompanied by overshadowing lasers as bright as your hopes to become a noteworthy adult? (cue Pink Floyd music).
Flagstaff Hill: A Grown-Up Playground for Grown-Up Kids!
Feeling nostalgic for those hazy summer afternoons of yore? Flagstaff Hill is the hamper of youthful exuberance where unemployed college students congregate like mushrooms after a rain, planning world domination through hacky sack! Come for a day of lazing about like a sloth in a hammock or lying in the grass innovating the next TikTok dance. Pack your snacks, blankets, and maybe even a stress ball, because remember—this is literally the closest you’ll get to reliving the Summer of Love without ending up on the cast of a Netflix drama.
The Waterfront: Taking Shopping to Unthinkable Heights!
Wait, wait! I hear you questioning my sanity. You really want to go to The Waterfront while under the influence? Why, yes, dearest reader! Sober, The Waterfront has all the charm of a trip to the DMV. But high? Oh, it transforms into your very own version of Sim City, where the fine art of people watching transforms into an Olympic-level sport. I once saw a couple spinning in a parking lot like it was some epic Hollywood movie scene—fortified, of course, by the shadow of their mother in the car, eyes reflecting the combined despair of a thousand parking lot romances.
Murray Avenue: A Holy Grail for the Culinary Enthusiast!
Prepare yourself, because walking down Murray Avenue while high is like taking an accidental tour through a treasure map leading to the least-visited Planet Fitness and the vending machine land of snacks that rarely pass the health inspection. It’s the perfect blend of culinary delights where every corner store looks like it had a mid-life crisis. Will it sell carpet? Exotic snacks? Or just that one weird t-shirt you won’t remember buying? Spoiler alert: Yes to all.
The Hall of Minerals: Dive into a Rockin’ Experience!
Forget the dinosaurs, folks! The real stars are the rocks. Educational? Sure! But stoned? You’ll find yourself eyeing luminous specimens like a cat at a laser pointer. “Is it tangible joy or radioactive material?” Don’t worry, just bask in the glow of the multicolored geological wonders! This sparkling hall could make even the least rock-loving individual suddenly feel strangely affectionate towards quartz.
Phipps Conservatory: Embrace Your Inner Plant Whisperer!
Want to step into an avatar of inevitable thawesome? Phipps Conservatory is the garden of zen we didn’t know we needed. Gazing upon plants under the influence? Watch as they become your fleeting thoughts about the universe’s meaning and why bread is actually a gift from the gods!
So there you have it, folks! Pittsburgh is absolutely beckoning enthusiasts of all types to revel in the wonders of life, even if it’s through a cocktail of herbal enlightenment. Don your sunglasses, grab a questionable snack, and embrace the hilarity of the world around you—because nothing is quite as entertaining as being high in a city that prides itself on being uniquely, unapologetically itself. Now, if you’ll excuse me, my oven is talking—again! 🍕✨
