Earlier quoted context omitted.
That may explain part of your negative bias. I barely eat during or after (munchies are emotional in nature), don't have TV, dropped net/phone addiction (far more insidious an evil in this age), and usually get high to sing, compose on the guitar, dance, stretch, sometimes some light programming.. I do it every day. It's about what you do with it, isn't it? Get high every day to be a vegetable: train to become better…
I'm happy it works for you, but for me that never really panned out. Perhaps it would work if I didn't have access to the internet and/or lived in a more nature-like area. Or perhaps it would work if my lifestyle was already different. I don't know. But as it is, if I smoke I become either couch-locked or jittery and paranoid. I think individual differences matter a great deal, and you're right in pointing that out.…
Re: The king of smokers
#91The burst of creativity is just marijuana (a medicinal drug) lifting your emotional hang ups so you express yourself with less restraints, more like a curious child. In other times it's not so pleasant but it's still the medicine freeing your anxieties up and out; but you need to face them, greet your biggest fears to see them out. It's why most people stop smoking, like a meditation journey, year by year it may get more terrifying observing your inner self, but facing anxieties is the only way to be rid of them. Weed accelerates the process if used with the right mind and ends, that is, to engage in self-therapy (e.g. playing and doing fun stuff). In psychoactive trips as with life, you have to take the good with the bad.
