Alright so I just got back from camping with 8 other guys. Let me tell you guys what happened. Basically on the first day we just did an easy hike and then went back to camp and busted out the pot. I was with two friends that had never done pot before and we had one guy babysitting us. We filled the pipe three times and passed around the pipe. We were all taking big hits and coughing like crazy. Eventually one of the guys walked into the van, grabbed a bag of munchies brand munchies and then started eating it like crazy while he was just starring off into space. We all got in the van while the one sober guy drived us around. He was going 60 km/h but it seemed like he was driving about 10 km/h and it was a pretty cool affect. Then he would drive around the parking lot in circles and try to convince us of stupid stuff.
When we got back to the camp fire the one guy who had the munchies earlier was so high that he was just sitting there with his head down without moving. He did this for like two hours and I started laughing at him. Some of sober friends commented that it seemed like he was dead. It was pretty funny. I was drinking earlier and the mixture of weed, alcohol and lack of sleep got me pretty tired so I just went to bed without having a whole lot of fun.
On the second day we went white water rafting, and to be honest it was sort of a disappointment. The water was really tame and we did not even come close to flipping the raft. Our female South African guide said that brokeback mountain was filmed in around here and that since we were eight guys camping together our trip is similar to the movie. We were halfway through rafting there was a pretty cool cliff jump that was 7m high and I was pretty scared. I just jumped anyways and it felt like there was a lot of force on my body as I accelerated downwards toward the water. The water was about 3 degrees celcius, and water freezes at 0 degrees celcius so it was basically ice water. I had problems breathing and swimming in that water, but was alleviated when I finally reached the shore. I thought that the cliff jump was the highlight of the day
Later that night everyone got stoned and the one guy who babysitting on the first day was walking around in circles. He was all paranoid and thought that random campers were going to arrest him. The stars looked very cool that night and we could constellations. He fell asleep sitting upright and it was priceless seeing him sleep in a lot of awkward positions. That night I got the munchies, so I grabbed a huge ass bag of buns and started walking around the camping eating them. My friend said later that I looked like the cookie monster for buns.
On the last day of camping we climbed Mount Rundle which is the highest mountain in Banff National Park. Here is a link to the wikipedia article for Mount Rundle:

It is very difficult and part way up, while scrambling on steep loose rocks me and some a my friends started panicking due to fear of heights and fatigue. We slowing crab walked our way down the mountain. Only two people out of our group actually summited Mount Rundle and it took them about six hours. Apparently they actually ran down the steep part of the mountain that we crab walked down, which sounds insane. I still can't figure out how to insert images on this forum yet. If anyone could offer advice on this subject it would be highly appreciated. Here is a link to the scramble images:

As you can see if you slip on the loose rocks you can fall of a cliff and go 1 km before you hit the ground, so I was freaking out. Two of my friends ran down this stuff. Anyways I was relieved to get back to the campsite. The two guys that summit the mountain took so long that the sun had already went down while they were trying to hike down the mountain. Needless to say that was pretty hardcore, and they both swore never to do that hike again. That night only I was up for pot. This was the best time that I had getting high and I was actually very clear minded while I was high this time. Everything was really slow and I found running very entertaining, because I was doing it in slow motion. When I jump it felt like I was on the moon, because it took longer for my feet to hit the ground as if there was less gravity present.
In addition to the slow motion everything looked extra 3-dimensional. I got down with my flash light and looked at the grass and bushes. I felt like I was in a video game, because the grass looked really 3-D and vivid. Oh yeah and I got to smoke a cigar. That's about it for four day camping trip.
