    Was Carl Sagan a stoner? Or do I just not know what “baked” means?

      He was “prolific.”

        Sagan also wrote that pot enhanced his experience of food, particularly potatoes, as well as music and sex.

        I believe the kids today call this “based AF.”

          Also, baked AF.

            “basked AF”?

              basking in something, certainly

          Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.

          I would love to see Carl Sagan and Samwise Gamgee hanging out, smoking some of the Hobbit’s leaf and snacking on some potatoes.

            With Gandalf having a chuckle at his theories on cosmology.

            I think Rick Steves would fit in there, too.

          I too find that music and sex improve the experience of potatoes.

          He was so baked, he called baked potatoes as potatoes

      It isn’t meant literally. It just means he comes off as mildly baked. I also have mildly baked syndrome and people occasionally ask me for drugs, even though I barely touch coffee.

      He loved baked beans, maybe?
