Away with the fairies

off with the fairies. 

Used to describe people who are daydreaming, mentally unsound, not in touch with reality or incapacitated by alcohol or drugs.

To the fairies

A phrase used by stoners to say they are throwing away the roach or a blunt or joint (or any other thing you were desperate enough to roll weed in) in tribute to the "weed fairies"

The phrase originated from the idea that there are "weed fairies" and they smoke pot as well and bless weed crops/sacks. However, unlike humans, they cannot plant marijuana seeds. So in return for them blessing their weed, stoners throw the roach of a blunt or joint away and say "to the fairies" and then when they leave, the weed fairies take the small amounts of weed they couldn't smoke and they plant that instead. And that's how they grow their own weed to smoke.

It can also be used as a question directed at potheads in your circle to confirm that nobody wants to hit the roach.
Normal Use

1: "To the fairies"

As a Question

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
