Stay away from excessive weed use, kids - I've never seen a regular user become more creative, smarter or full of wisdom by smoking a joint.
I have never met a weed user that did not become impatient, impulsive, emotionally numb, mentally dull and even unhygienic over time.
There is a very small cast of people who genuinely benefit from moderate use - and they are not the ones who tell you they're somehow special, that's for sure.
Using drugs to attain higher consciousness or even a better emotional state is like listening to book summaries thinking you're getting the real thing.
If shortcuts existed, you would be born and you would die - not live for several dozens of years.
The journey is the lesson.
