Some advice for apprentice tokers!

Fuck that, if i'm down about a situation, I smoke and figure it out...

if I didn't figure shit out on pot, I wouldn't smoke it.

 

This ahaha, I smoke when I feel like shit and it helps me think shit through. But hey, whatever system works for you

 

I like to get high and write my thoughts down in a notebook

Then read it later when I'm sober

Me also, I use Google's "remind me" voice feature so I don't even have to write anything, just talk to my phone.

 

idk about any1 else but if im stressed or depressed bud really helps.to me that would defeat the purpose

 

I even smoke if I don't even really feel like it at the time, but it's nice nevertheless.

 

I can see how that might make you enjoy and appreciate smoking more. Personally when I'm feeling down I love hanging out with a couple close friends and blazing a nice sesh, always helps me relax and my friends always help cheer me up. Even just having someone to talk to is always nice, and I always find it a lot easier to open up and talk if I'm high. But to each there own, whatever works for you and let's you get the most of your bud!

 

I agree with this entirely.

If you are used to doing something productive before smoking, you're more apt to continue this pattern as your brain associates being accomplished and productivity with the end result of savoring those effects through an enhanced emotional mindset. Thereby changing your perspective on how you approach being productive as you associate the activity possessing a positive emotional output. Your brain does not initially perceive it as strenuous but rather as enticing and typical (because you're not used to smoking before doing everything, you don't have to fight the desire to do so), as a tunnel with a lighted-reward at the end.

In short, your brain starts to consider the activity as less daunting or even as necessary in order to feel the response of a high, one gets used to the pattern and in doing so is likely to repeat it (as we humans are creatures of habit and like to repeat experiences that bring us pleasure).

However, breaking this cycle by smoking and then trying to be productive, whereas you usually smoke for relaxation and to be non-productive, once you break the brain's pattern of thinking that productivity is directly associated with a subsequent high, then you stop seeking those situations of accomplishment as your brain would rather take the bridge across the river rather than solidify its knowledge of swimming.

There's no real problem with that, because one can always change the perception of their brain at any moment in their life, all they need is one clear moment of comprehension; to see their life from a third person omniscient stance to use that as a pivoting point. Depending on the perspective of the person and what they desire to get out of life, they might take a long time to understand, or they may never do so, as there are many different paths to life; but if they're thrown into a body of water and don't know how to swim (or are fresh out of cannabis), they're going to drown.

 

Nahh smoke like all day every day mayne

 

us humanoids think better when we are relaxed. cannabis relaxes us...

 

I do that when I go to school, because I am a heavy pot smoker, Its even better for me when I finish my school work then Smoke a bowl that I know I wont have to worry about school shit until the next week.

 

me has well, i love it! sometimes i scare myself on ideas...

 

yeah, because it's so easy to think clearly when you're stoned

 

think and stay focused imho

 

i was being sarcastic but ok

 

I work as a manager of a very busy welcome center. I don't always have the luxury of celebrating anything other than the fact I'm still breathing. Days can be downright tough. And weed pulls me out of it. It is the buoy that I need to keep from getting swallowed by the world. It puts me back together again so I can live another day. Thank God for weed.

 

if weed is the only thing keeping you going through the day you have major, major problems that need to be addressed.

 

toking is better than drinking.
