Short Story: Wasted in Laurel Canyon by Mark Tulin/Drip Literary Magazine

"I was stoned, as usual. The last time I wasn't high was before my Uncle Kenny died three years ago. He left me a small fortune that I can live on and not worry about working or doing anything constructive. I'm sixty now, so I figure I'm just taking an early retirement. I lay on the sofa most of the day, smoking pot, dropping acid, or both. I walk down the hill to the café when I'm hungry. Today, I had a veggie sandwich on sourdough and a bottle of kombucha. The café had comfortable outdoor furniture, which you could fall asleep on."
