Smoking the Scratching Post
Hi! We are Fawn & Cicada. We are two neurodivergent, peri-menopausal, queer entities. We have multiple invisible illnesses and are on a hunt to find the most effective cannabis strains for us—physically and mentally. Everything we consume and discuss is obtained legally. Cannabis impacts us very differently than the average human, because we are actually woodland creatures. Consumption of cannabis is not safe for everyone and you should be over 21 to listen or consume. Spay and neuter your pets and garden responsibly.
The stories we tell here will have changed or adjusted names for anonymity. Please also remember, we’re giving condensed versions of our chaos adventures, and we may personally redact some information for a variety of reasons.

This episode was hysterical to record, but horrifying to experience in real life. At the time. Now it makes for a VERY silly story! Sit back, relax, and laugh at someone else.
*Cicada would like to acknowledge that her exhausted brain said “female-born” instead of “AFAB”. The proper term completely left the headspace until after recording.
As always, please understand this is for ages 21+! Garden responsibly!

Whether you have some of your own Catholic guilt left over, you’ve overcome it, or you’re just curious, this episode is sure to take you on a rollercoaster of religious experiences. Enjoy Cicada and Fawn talking about (or maybe criticizing?) the organized Catholic religion while recounting their own spirituality.
Happy Mom’s Day to all those out there that deserve extra love today! And ignore Fawn editing her own name. Shhh.

Happy 4/20, folks! Cicada tells one of the most NSFW and HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE stories of the podcast and it gets… *clears throat* saucy.
Fawn throws the best one liner Cicada has ever heard and thus falls off the chair laughing; the rest is history. You shouldn’t listen to this episode. It’s Really Dirty.
Be over 21. We mean it.
And don’t be related. We Love You!

You know how every generation has a list of popular baby names? Well, Fawn has a “list of Jessicas”. Maybe you’ll understand what we mean if you tune in while we enjoy a classic strain together. Or maybe you won’t understand, and that is just fine!
