Those who smoke weed and I speak from personal experience have a way of concentrating on the project at hand.
Having worked in science for over 2 decades, I can say that the number of brilliant scientists (and also the not-so-brilliant ones) who light up regularly is... large...
Okay, so that's why I failed chemistry and other science subjects at school... I didn't [and still don't] smoke pot.
Never too late to adopt new, more effective, tools.
End of ElanaAhova's quote
Nah, can't touch it... something in it makes me ill, and the effect lasts for several days. I did try it in my teens, but with a result like that I wasn't going to persist with it. Some years later I had the same violent reaction when someone baked it into some choc chip cookies and 'conveniently' neglected to inform me of the fact. I was ill for over a week.
Thing is, whether it made me ill or not, I still wouldn't use it because I'd rather face life, however hard or unpleasant it may be at times, in complete control of my faculties, not in some drug altered state. I did substance abuse when I drank alcohol to excess some years back and spent way, waaaay too much money to enter an altered state of being, so never again.
Not that I go there, AA that is... but my name is Mark and I'm now in my 14th year of sobriety. And so much better off for it, both physically, mentally and financially.
