I smoked pot for over a decade, pretty much nonstop. I don't even know how many brain cells and dollars i wasted. I think its a slave drug that keeps you confined in your own psychosis. Theres a reason why its so popular in many cultures and all i hear is excuse after excuse and b.s. reasons in the justification of smoking it.
"It cures cancer...It makes you more creative..."etc
I used to spew that same nonsense, no different than trying to explain how a religion/deity saved your soul. You're just putting your ambitions and memory on hold, coating your third eye with resin.
Everyone has their "vices" though.
