#Vic uses Medical Marijuana for his robot body pains

[kaliina-catoe-blog]

Random DC ideas #1

CW: Tim vapes, and several of the Titans smoke weed together. Other characters are also mentioned as smoking weed and/or vaping/etc. No other drugs, and no alcohol. Just recreational pot and (barely) underage vaping. Just making sure there's a warning JIC. Don't like, don't read.

Tim, Bart, and Connor occasionally smoke weed. Bart can't get high off of it, but he likes to be included in the fun and he always brings good munchies. (Sometimes he even remembers to bring enough for the others)!

Kon, shockingly, actually does get high. It takes a fair amount, but he definitely gets there and it lasts a solid hour or two so he thinks it's worth it when Tim offers to relax for a night. Kryptonians can also get a high from nicotine, which they found out on accident when Tim offered to let him taste his vape. They didn't know! He figured it was harmless for a Kryptonian, and he'd just get to taste it and move on... It's not very addictive, and Kon doesn't really like the type of high it causes, but every now-and-again it's fun.

Tim? Tim is a rich kid who went to private school. He used to swear he'd "never vape, or smoke, or do drugs. Never ever ever" but. Well. Then a classmate on the debate team offered to let him try some ridiculous "Birthday Cake" thing and it was. Surprisingly good? He coughed like a bitch, but once he figured out how to breathe the hit without dying it was like. His chest felt lighter.

So, Tim researches every type of vape he can find and settles on one that has a particularly good reputation. Of course, it won't stop him from getting lung cancer in his 50s or something. But honestly? What was the likelihood Tim was going to live past 40 as a hero? He reasoned as long as he kept it limited, and stuck to reputable brands with lower salts and shit he'd probably be fine enough.

And then, he goes to a party with Dick and a few other OG Titans... And then Dick wanders off. And Tim is left alone with Roy and Bart and Kon and Cyborg- Vic... And Roy pulls out weed like it's the most casual thing on the planet, passing it right to Vic.

Kon: "Oh my Rao! Dude! Put that away!"

Roy: "Relaaaaxx, little blue. It's legal in this state, and we're not going to make anyone else mess with it if they don't want to. Go find Dickface if you wanna be babies- just don't be a narc."

Bart looks between Conner, who looks like he's just taken a shot of tequila and Roy, who looks like the coolest cucumber this side of Jersey. He looks to Tim, and then back again at Roy, and then he looks at the little baggie.

Bart, sitting down on the floor by Vic's legs: "I can't get high off of it anyways," he shrugs, "I honestly don't think I care if you guys smoke weed. He has a point that it's legal, anyways."

He aims the last part at Kon, and the clone sighs heavily. Tim hasn't said a word, but he silently pulls out his newest vape- Raspberry Peach Lime- and takes a long hit.

Tim: "I'm game."

Roy's eyes go wider than Tim thinks should be physically possible, and Tim laughs right in his stupid face.

Tim: "You think I'm the golden kid? Hell no. I should be called Boy Disappointment long before Boy Wonder. I gave up on normal coping mechanisms when I became Robin."

Roy, still looking baffled, can only nod as Tim sits cross-legged on the floor across from them. He motions for Conner to join and, after a moment of hesitation, the clone sits too.

Kon: "We aren't going to like... Get in trouble right? Because it's legal?"

Vic, snorting: "I mean. It is, over the age of 21. But nobody is about to snitch on a bunch of teenage super heroes using a natural herb for relaxation when they're off the clock. I use it because I get phantom pains in my robot limbs."

The older boy explains, while rolling a joint with a practiced ease Tim's never even seen on his Gotham friends. He wonders if maybe Vic will teach him how to roll like that.

Kon, nodding: "I guess that makes more sense. Kal always just says that if he ever catches me with drugs he'll ground me for a year- he never said if legal ones count though."

Bart: "Dude, of course the legal ones should be an exception! That's why they were legalized, because they're helpful!" he looks up at Roy and Vic, "Right?"

Roy, laughing but trying to not freak the kids out: "Yeah, exactly. Legal drugs are like medicine - hell, that's why they call it Medical Marijuana. It's totally fine if you don't want any, but you're welcome to share the rotation."

Vic: "Wait, does pot even do anything to Kryptonians?"

Tim, before Kon can open his mouth: "Yes, and they can get a high from nicotine too."

Kon: "I know how you know the nic thing, but how do you know for sure weed works on me? It doesn't work on Bart."

Tim: "Nicotine also doesn't affect Bart, one. Two, Kara told me.... Well. Technically, Dick told me after Kara told him. But Kara also has mentioned it for sure."

Bart: "So you just know exactly what substances are mind-altering for Kon?"

Tim, face a bit pink: "I.. I like to know what substances to be cautious of for all of my teammates... In case we only have a limited number of rebreathers... That way anyone weak to a substance gets first dibs."

All four of the others stare for a moment, before just claps his hands together.

Vic: "Alright! I have three rolled, which is probably more than we need but whatever. Who's lighter?"

Tim pulls out a lighter at the same time as Roy, and the archer raises an eyebrow.

Roy, taking a joint from Vic's outstretched palm: "If you weren't a newbie, I'd probably let you light right now just for the speed."

Roy took a long, slow drag, before tilting his head up and blowing it out away from the younger boys.

Roy, as he let's go of another puff: "Which way we passin'? Tim? Vic?"

Tim extends a fist: "I'll play you for it."

Vic, laughing: "Alright, white boy. But I don't do that two-out-of-three shit if you lose."

Tim chuckles, and then immediately wins against Vic's rock. He accepts the joint carefully between his two fingers, and brings it up.

Kon: "Are you sure? What if Dick comes back?"

Tim: "I'm an adult, and Dick's smoked weed before too. He can't say shit."

He takes a slow hit, pulling it into his lungs and--

Immediately dying. He coughs hard, taking in a shake breath as Roy and Vic laugh at him.

Tim: "Fuck! That is not the same thing as a vape."

Roy laughs harder: "No shit, little red!"

Kon, rubbing a hand over Tim's back: "Are you okay?"

Bart is stifling a laugh behind his hands, but nods his head towards Conner to say 'yeah, are you good bro?'

Tim clears his throat a bit: "I'm fine. I'm fine. I got this."

He takes another slow hit, this time more carefully not to overdo it. He exhales slowly, and for a moment he thinks he's gotten it.

Of course, he doesn't. The next coughing fit is worse, and he holds the joint up so he doesn't drop it. Conner takes it for him, rubbing his back again as Tim nearly gags.

Roy and Vic are laughing again, and Bart can't contain his own peals of giggling anymore. Even Kon laughs, the traitor, as Tim tries to wipe the bit of drool off his face.

Tim: "Jesus! Why is it so spicy?!?"

Vic: "Don't babysit, Kon. You gotta puff puff or pass it."

Roy: "Don't listen to him, he just wants his turn."

Conner thinks for a second, and then puts the joint up to his lips. He pulls in, trying to keep it shallow, and holds it.

He coughs hard, and now Tim is the one rubbing his back.

Tim: "Yeah. Maybe don't hold it?"

After a second, and more laughter, the clone tries again. And this time? Nothing. He doesn't cough, although it does burn a bit. It feels... Pleasant. Warm rather than painfully hot like the first hit.

Roy, cheering: "Whoo! Way to go, Lungs!"

Vic claps a little, somewhat jokingly: "Nice job, newbie"

Tim, looks at him with a deadpan face: "I hate you. That's not fair."

Kon: "Do I pass to Vic, or Bart?"

Bart: "I can try it, but it won't get my high at all. I think Wally has had an edible before that managed to last him almost an hour - but apparently it was expensive as hell."

Roy nods: "Well I can't afford the good shit that Dick buys Wally but you can try it if you want- just to say you did."

Bart beams at him and carefully takes the joint from Conner.

Bart: "So. I just hit it like a vape or something?"

Tim: "No! Whatever you do do not just hit it like a vape!"

Roy and Vic laugh, and Kon snorts.

Vic: "Yeah. That's why Tim almost keeled over there. You have to hit it slowly, like you're doing a breathing exercise or something."

Roy: "Try not to hold it in on the first hit, either."

Bart, takes a puff very carefully and let's it out almost immediately: "Oh.. Huh. It tastes... Uh."

Bart, makes a face and passes the joint to Vic: "Yeah no fuck that. It tastes like that time Icicle tossed me so hard I had dirty grass in my teeth."

The boys laugh as Vic takes his turn, before passing back to Roy.

Roy: "We have now completed one rotation. Other than Bart, is anyone bowing out?"

Vic, snorting and rolling his eyes: "You should probably ask if they feel anything before you start asking who's done."

Tim, hitting his vape: "I'm good. I don't think I feel anything yet, anyways."

Kon, nodding: "Yeah, I don't actually know how much I have to take but probably more than two hits..."

Roy laughs at that, and Vic wordlessly hands Conner his own joint.

Vic: "You know, it might actually be easier if you just get to pace yourself. Who knows, maybe your metabolism is going to burn it up before you get to the next rotation."

Kon looks at the joint, then back at Vic, and then to Tim and Roy.

Kon: "Yeah.... Fuck it- that's why we're at a party, isn't it?"

Tim, whoops and pulls out his lighter again: "You need help lighting it? I think Ive figured it out."

Kon, nodding: "Yes, please."

By the time Dick finds the trio again, they've all migrated to Roy's room to watch TV.

Dick, upon entering the room and smelling straight dank: "Roy.... Did. Did you drug my baby brother?"

Roy, high as fuck: "Yeah. But like. Him and the little dudes were told muuuhltiple times they could just not partake. Bro.. Timbit is fun!"

Tim, hitting Roy and shoving his vape under the older boy's leg subtly: "I'm fine! I like hanging with the boys!"

Kon is giggling madly, trying to cover his face with his hands, and Bart is still busy staring up at Dick like he's seen a ghost.

Dick, sighing: "Oh for fucks-.... Fine. This one time, because I'm going to be the one in trouble if B finds out that I brought you here and you got high. But if I ever catch you smoking again, I swear to Diana's Lasso I will tell Alfred."

Tim, still a bit too high to really process: "Okay! No biggie, man. You won't see me doing it again."

Dick, shocked that went so well: "Well... Okay. Good... Uhm..."

Roy and Vic look at each other, and then roll their eyes.

Vic: "You want a pre-roll I made earlier?"

Dick:

Vic:

Tim, smirking like a little shit because he knew Dick smoked:

Kon, baffled:

Bart, also baffled:

Roy: "Well?"

Dick: "Fuck it. If Tim's high I think I need to be."
