Here's one way for a journalist to get through a celebrity profile: get high.

According to Lloyd Grove, Details writer Kevin Gray took a hit of the wacky-tobacky while profiling music/movie/beverage/MP3 player/clothing/magazine mogul Damon Dash for an upcoming issue of Details. As Gray tells Grove:

"I decided to go a little Hunter Thompson gonzoesque. We'd just left Damon's mansion in Beverly Hills and were driving down Sunset, going to various meetings between clouds of pot smoke. It wasn't the Herojuana [''cause it hits you like heroin'], it was the usual variety. But I did get a buzz. There are gradations of 'stoned' and I got a mild buzz."


Yes, and with this mention in 'Lowdown,' Gray's piece now has mild buzz, too.
