I decided to take some edibles to relax a bit because I had the afternoon off. I don't normally take marijuana and haven't done it much in the past either. A couple hours later I was tripping on the thoughts of needing to trust the government and confirm the the status quo. Almost as if the marijuana was cultivated to specifically train me to do that.
That can't be a coincidence because I never think those kinds of thoughts but then bam they're in my head after taking marijuana. The way it alters your brain chemistry must make you more "submissive to authority", "trusting" and "willing to compromise" such that thoughts like what I had may enter people's minds when reminded of similar topics.
I'm surprised I've never heard more of this before... Maybe it's no wonder the liberal tons with tons of weed culture end up destroying themselves.
I feel like this weed gummy was the drug equivalent of watching Netflix.
Would maybe explain the hippie boomers why they went from rebellious young people to bootlickers , hmmm...
Stuff like this makes me think of eating sacrificial meat. Paul talks about it in one of his letters; it's not a sin in and of itself but, to others that don't know that, you could influence them towards sin.
I find that's similar in that I can easily have an occasional smoke without losing my job and bankrupting myself, but there are a lot of people around me who would use me as an excuse to do so.
Ultimately, it would probably be better not to use drugs (including caffeine and refined sugar) but there's a cost/benefit relationship to consider. If you stop smoking, will you engage more with the fight? How long and how much energy will it take to quit? Could you put that into the fight right now, instead? Will not smoking actually change your day to day situation, or is it just a response to other things you need to deal with?
Personally, I stop smoking entirely for Lent every year, just to clear my head. By the end of a month, I don't have any physical urges to smoke, like I do when I'm smoking regularily (weekends) but I still want to, because I enjoy it. Until I find it's causing quantifiable problems, I don't have a huge issue with it.
I don't remember a lot either and I think it's getting worse in terms of what I'm not remembering.
When I was younger, it's like my body shutdown before my mind but now my mind shuts down before my body, it that makes sense.
I don't really like weed at all though.
I should just do neither but I can't seem to pass the time sober cause I get so bored. So very bored. I switched back to alcohol tonight but I feel more confident in my ability to resists bad temptations... I almost feel like I need to beat this drunk issue head-on instead of run away anyhow. We'll see how I do. So far, so good.
