Look at it this way, would you like to hangout with someone that beat you up and took your money? Because that's what all of those things do to you, they all damage you mouth, throat and lungs.
amen......
a person who has healthy self esteem does not need anything to turn down or
off the noises in there head.......
I know plenty of people who smoke pot without trying to escape life.
I had to stop because of my health but pot used to make me super-aware and very creative. I did however have extensive mind training (including sensory deprivation exercises) during college. I've paid for memory training thru Dale Carnegie institute and studied psychology.
As with any substance, pot can be abused. Plus, people have different tolerances and limits. I also dropped acid in my 20s quite frequently. I loved that stuff but I never let it get control of me. As Girth said, It was pure enjoyment for me.
If you've the mindset that pot is that "Evil Weed" and choose not to use it, I can accept that. However, just like religion, I find it strange that while I have no issue with anyone else making their own choice, its wrong that I am not afforded the same courtesy.
As far as the OP, I think she should make up her own mind as to how she wants to live her own life. The only thing I could warn is to pay attention to it and if it starts changing you in ways which are not beneficial, find your own inner strength to make the changes needed to regain control of your own life.
Plus, the clock hits 4:20 twice a day.
