This post has been claimed to be false by Kevin Smith himself, in this thread on the View Askew website, http://viewaskew.com/theboard/viewtopic.php?t=55687.

I am leaving it here anyways because it's a pretty cool story, but please, take it with a grain of salt

Anyone go to his seminars with the same title? He did one at my college.

So last night, I smoked with Kevin Smith. Silent Bob and I blazed, in my house. But first, I have to lay down some back story.

A friend of mine’s father, who has been smoking more years than my 30 year old sister has been alive, and knows a lot of old school tricks, called me up one day. When I last saw him, I told him to give me a call if he needed any- and he called 2 days ago, asking if I had any for someone. He put the person on the phone- it was Kevin Smith. He was in the area to do an outdoor screening of Clerks, and was looking to blaze in his hometown.

I offered to smoke him up instead of sell to him, and he accepted. That led to last night, where he showed up at my house, by walking, at 10:50 pm.

We started the smoke off with a joint each, followed by splitting a steam roller. We talked about a bunch of local stupid crap- like what’s going on in the town and the local diner (we both know the owner, and both eat there a lot). And yes, he carries the pocket diploma that our high school gave us when we graduated- even though he the school 12 years before me, they looked exactly the same. We compared ours and they’re exactly the same except for names and his is a little discolored.

We were on by back deck, with a cooler of coke next to us, and a ring of citronella candles surrounding us. Bug free was the way to be.

But back to the smoke- we basically talked about local gossip, and pretty much nothing about his movies. It felt like I smoking with my buddies from college- we both were telling good stories and laughing a lot, while passing back and forth my gunbowl.

Around 1:45, Jay showed up to give Kevin a ride home. Jay wouldn’t take any hits, but we did talk for about 5 minutes before they both left. As they left, I blew out the citronella candles, cleaned the glass, and then went online for a few minutes to check LWS and DnB…

No pictures, as the stores around here close at 10 (fucking gay), and I couldn’t get new batteries for my camera. Sorry guys, but I do have his phone #, and he has mine for when he’s in the area and is looking to smoke. Maybe next time, I’ll take pictures- but I usually hate pictures when I’m smoking, so I’m probably not going to worry about having batteries for my camera next time either.

Hahaha- that’s my story of smoking with Silent Bob.

I'm now making him a gunbowl- which I'll be dropping off at my friend's house for him when it's done if I don't run into him before I leave for college.

REMEMBER- I NEVER SAID THIS WAS TRUE -thermal

I looked him up, hahah, he is from Highlands. I went fishing there this summer, my entire family lives in Monmouth county. My aunt's house is over is the crappy portion of Rumson by Briody's and that area. I thought that was ironic, I really need to see clerks and clerks II.

When Kevin and Jason knew eachother as kids Mewes was straight edge, I wonder if he still is and that's why he wouldn't smoke?

Fucking lucky bastard dude :(

Mewes was straight edge? Hahaha- no, he smoked all the time in highschool. He used to smoke with my art teacher in the spray paint room- the vents would suck the smoke out. He did some heavy shit too, but I think he cut that back.

really? Since I've seen the trailer to clerks 2, I always figured mewes and smith were doing it because they were out of drugs. Fucking pimp though, kevin smith, AND meeting jason mewes. was jason more down to earth then his movie counterpart?

Mewes was straightedge, then he got really heavy into drugs and shit, then he got addicted to heroin, recovered, relapsed, recovered, relapsed, and recovered again. I read the wikipedia for it, which I considered to be reliable even though I haven't met him and gotten his life story so I can't be 100% sure. So since he's quit heroin I guess he went straightedge. I'm not gonna try to definately explain him not smoking but this is my take on it. Not totally sure about all of this but here's the wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Mewes

He loves to dance, but is also pretty down to earth. He'll dance over stupid shit, but not like he does in clerks 2.

That site really only looks at the heroin side- which wasn't pretty. He smoked pot more than anything else in highschool, then I believe he started to go into heavier shit after he left highschool. Unfortunatly, a good amount of the stuff on wiki about him is rumors everyone in my town has heard, but knows to be false.
But hey- he seems to be doing fine now.

Watch "An Evening", Kevin says that before he went off to film school Mewes was straight edge as a kid, but when Kevin came back he was, well as you said.

Straight edge? I remember seeing him when I was 5-6, my sister would throw parties, and you'd see him at them fucked up. I definatly remember seeing him gone.

I actually recommend that piece to anyone who comes to me concerned about a friend on an addictive substance. It's extremely educational -- I love Smith's writing style.

It starts here and continues for 8 parts I think. (http://silentbobspeaks.com/?p=235) Good stuff.

I was going back through the posts looking for an old brownie recipe and I ran across this. Decided to nominate it to BOTB. Browse around the old posts, there's a wealth of knowledge and other stuff that just gets passed over.
