I don't know if this question has been asked before, but I'm wondering what draws everyone to marijuana. I'm hoping for deeper answers than "I like to get fucked up."
I'll go first since I started the thread. I love a good head high or stone because it inspires ne to do something other than sit around, watch TV, and feel down on myself. I feel like I have a need to work with my hands or play music. These things, I feel, genuinely enrich my life. I also feel 1000x more outgoing and personable. I feel like I have the will to solve or at least tackle problems I normally wouldn't. I don't feel like it impairs my ability to think at all as I have done many projects while high.
MY TANGENT
I hate going to home depot while high. Not because I can't decide what to buy or anything related to being impaired. Home depot has a sign out front that says something like, "We drug test. Drug users need not apply." Here's what really gets me; I function better high and know the store better than the employees that work there,and I'm a CUSTOMER. I don't expect everyone to know what a surge arrestor or a #12 machine screw is, but I do expect someone who is paid by home depot to know what these things are and where to find them. I can't even recall all the times I've gone there high (or not) and been so frustrated with help if I asked for it. I think to myself, "How could they possibly reject drug users over the staff they have on hand? Could they possibly be worse?" Then I remember the best job these people can find is at home depot, and I need to keep that in mind. If they had better skills, they would be doing something better. Then, I feel bad for even thinking like
this.
END TANGENT
Ok, I got off track in my own post. I would love to know why you smoke. I understand that many people smoke to relax and do the opposite of what I do while high. That's ok too. I figure there's no right or wrong way to use this wonderful plant. I am not judging. Please indulge me.
