The last time I smoked weed was in high school. I didn't even have one hit at all during my college years. After graduation, I was in an awesome career and my future was looking bright... **** happened and it was all downhill from there. From that point, I started smoking out again and was a big-time stoner for almost five years. You know those anti-weed commercials? The one that really hit home with me was the one where the ad starts off w/ a kid talking about his older bro. At first, you'd get the impression that something bad happened to his older bro. It turns out, his older bro was in the basement vegging out in front of the tube. The kid then points out that his older bro didn't amount to anything as a result of weed.
I am happy to say that I am no longer a stoner. I smoke probably once every few months or so, concert event or what have you. I personally see nothing wrong with weed as long as it is used responsibly. But I used it in excess and it really slowed me down. I was living life in the present and had no regard for the future after the **** that happened. You'd think weed would slow time down, but time actually flew by incredibly fast during my mad stoner years. I do feel though that weed had benefits despite killing motivation.
During my PD self help, weed REALLY enhanced my daily NLP visualization exercises. The feelings evoked were MUCH more intense. As a result of weed, I was able to come up with different variations of NLP visualization patterns that I wasn't able to come up with sober. To give you an example of what I'm getting at, I played this particular riff on guitar literally hundreds of times sober. When I played that same riff stoned, I somehow came up with a sweet variation of that riff. I know it's been argued many times over, but for me, weed enhances creativity. I modeled after what came to me during my stoner moments and used that while sober.
I also want to to point out that weed makes sex even more mind-blowing and amazing than it already is.
