Camein.com’s “Marijuana” category links to some really good videos.
And this video is EXCELLENT. I’ve never heard someone so intelligently display how much marijuana does not make you stupid.
Inexperienced people on marijuana look and sound stupid and very quickly pass judgments on it that it makes them stupid. But it only makes you stupid if you let it. Being stupid is always the easy way out.
“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I left my car keys on the bus! I should probably stop smoking so much.”
But I’ve got a news flash for you. You’ve always been an idiot. You’re probably even someone who has always been prone to not keep track of things. It’s only pointing out weaknesses of yours that you can work on. Nothing about it MADE you think about and get wrapped up in other things instead of being present with your bus ride, and getting off at the right stop/remembering your possessions. You chose to do it, and happened to be under the influence of Marijuana.
Now, you could argue that you find yourself to be more prone to lose things, lose track of conversations, forget where you are, etc; when you’re on on marijuana.
But I challenge you to not let yourself use that as an excuse. Hold yourself to a higher standard. Marijuana does not make you less alert like being drunk does.
You CAN remember your things. You CAN keep track in conversations and remain connected to the planet while you’re on the stuff.
It takes practice.
